Babyhawk Mei Tai's are comfortable, but they are above all safe and reliable. All fabrics used by Babyhawk are pre-washed and thrown into the dryer to prevent shrinkage. The straps are 70-72 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide. The bottom strap is one continuous piece of fabric, which offers the most durable and safest support for your baby. The top straps are padded as well as the headrest to offer the most comfortable walk for mom and a safe, smooth ride for baby.

There are two body sizes available, as listed below, so if our child is that bit bigger you may be interested in the Toddlerhawk:
The Babyhawk - 16.5" wide by 18.5" high (approx).
The Toddlerhawk - 16.5" wide by 24" high (approx).

The Mei Tai is capable of carrying a newborn baby to 40 lbs, or as long as you can comfortably carry them. For larger child you may want to consider the Toddlerhawk which is designed for toddlers.

You can wash your BabyHawk on cold with just a little detergent (try putting it in a large lingerie bag or pillowcase to avoid it getting wrapped around the agitator or the straps all twisted) and then line dry. You CAN machine dry but your colors will stay brighter and more vibrant if you line dry. It is always a good idea when washing your carrier for the first time to include a dye catcher sheet with dark colors to catch any excess dye that may be present.

Babyhawk and Toddlerhawk Mei Tai's are 100% cotton, except for the Minki which contains man made fibres.
