Carrier that tie on
​Tie-on carriers are sometimes also referred to as Asian Style Carriers, due to their cultural origins.  The most widely known type of ASC is a mei tai, a carrier with a body panel, tie-on waist straps and longer tie-on shoulder straps.  There are many brands of mei tai and lots of variation in detail, such as body shape, waist rigidity and shoulder strap style.

Brand: Hoppediz Hop-Tye, 'Marrakesch'

This carrier is made of soft wrap fabric and has wide wrap straps, which you can bunch up on your shoulder, or spread out as in the photo.

There are several toggle adjusters in the body of the carrier which allow you to shape it around a smaller baby.

Suitable from birth (7lbs upwards) to around 2-2.5 years, using the wrap straps to make the seat wider.

Brand: Napsack


​Napsack carriers have a versatile hourglass shape, and contoured, oar-shaped straps to distribute weight very comfortably across your back.

Suitable from birth until toddler or beyond (until your child is too tall to be adequately supported by the panel size), this is a great basic meh dai to try, although you can't buy them new any more.
