Kev is right. My next 100 posts or more are all about Mini-D; one way or another. When I was pregnant with Mini-D, I stumbled upon this concept called baby wearing. After scouring through some online resources, then only I realised that this supposed new fad of baby wearing has always been with our Asian culture except we don’t call it baby wearing.

For those familiar with Hong Kong movies, we usually see the ‘Mei Tai’ being featured. In fact my own grandmother actually wore my mom using a mei tai!  Just that I think they didn’t call it that.

This is basically what it looks like. But with the Western world picking this up, now it has evolved, using more luxurious and more beautiful fabric, this is what some of them can look like!

Looks very stylo milo doesn’t't it? But I took one look at the price tag and was very shocked! It cost around the RM 400 price RANGE!

Then I started looking around for cheaper  carriers. I found pulak the ring-sling ones (there is also pouch, which is similar but made for only a single person usage since it has to be ‘made-to-measure’)

These are priced anything from ~RM100 to RM300. Nicer and cheaper. The downside to this is that the weight is on one shoulder rather than on both shoulders and the body like the Mei Tai. The upside is you don’t have that many ties to deal with. To use the Mei Tai can be quite challenging. Went through the videos posted on YouTube. NOT EASY!

So I continued my search. Finally after considering the price factor, suitability for multiple users, the weather, I finally decided on this! The Ergo Baby Sport Carrier! (not that I’m endorsing this brand. The generic name would be the soft-structured carrier or simply as SSC! ) Snap, Snap & Go. But since I didn’t manage to snap myself wearing Mini-D, which I must soon, this is how the carrier actually looks like!

I must say, ever since getting the carrier, we hardly use the stroller anymore. The carrier is so much more convenient. We can use the escalator with no problems instead of waiting for the lift, which at times can be rather full and crowded. Mini-D finds it so much more fun since he’s able to see things from his parents’ eye-level rather than seeing people’s butts most of the time!
