I took on this project to see if it would help me when I am out shopping and Lorelei refuses to stay in her stroller. I know I could have gone to a store and bought a carrier for a little bit of money but instead I wanted to see if I could make one. I found an amazing blog with a step by step tutorial that was very handy. I probably couldn’t have done it without it. The Mai Tei took me a few hours from start to finish, I sewed it in two evenings once Lorelei was in bed. All in all it was fairly simple. It looks a lot harder than it actually was.
We went to Lynn Valley for the day where we had the opportunity to use it for the first time. I tried Lorelei in the front and she did quite well. When it was her nap time and we had no where to put her down I placed her in the Mei Tai on my back, it was exactly what she needed! She fell asleep and stayed that way for quite a well. We even went for a small hike with her on my back, it worked perfectly. I found the carrier to be very comfortable and so far I am happy with it.
Tahts great Sam! I wish I had your talent!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it worked perfectly for nap time. Hopefully she will love it and it will make shopping easier.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope it makes nap easier. The only thing is that I can't put her on my back by myself yet. She is still too small. One day that will get easier, I hope once she is a little bigger. But I went shopping with her in the front and it was perfect. It was nice to have both my hands to bag veggies :)
