'Best' mei tai

[mints]

Hi all,

I've decided to get a mei tai carrier for my 6 month old baby (thanks to all who have contributed to previous sling questions, reading the discussions has been very helpful to me). I want something fairly light for summer, but something supportive as my LO does most of her daytime napping on the move.

However I am a bit baffled by the choice to be honest! Has anyone got a favourite they can recommend, or are they all much the same?

Many thanks

I've just had a sample Mei-Tai from www.snugbaby.co.uk and it is fantastic! I've used and treasured my wahm one until now, but have ditched it for the snugbaby :cheesy:
It has lovely wide straps and a great waist band feature that distributes the weight so evenly, I can't feel any weight of my 11 month old on my shoulders at all :clapping:

LOL and just to confuse you even more. ive got 2 from http://www.meemoos.co.uk/ Al1x from here makes them and they are FANTASTIC you hardly know you are wearing the baby.
I don't use mine as much now, but they were a godsend..

What did you get in the end Mints?

I have a Cwtshi Evo carrier, which my husband and I both loved. He still carries dd (now 26 months short distances, but I'm too pregnant for all that now... Looking forward to cwtshing again. (cwtch is welsh for cuddle)
