When can I start carrying my baby in a Fräulein
Hübsch Mei Tai?
The Fräulein Hübsch Mei Tai can be worn from a
weight of 3 kg.
How long can I carry my baby in a Fräulein Hübsch
Mei Tai?
you can carry your baby in a Fräulein Hübsch Mei
Tai as long as you and your baby want to. Babies will
usually make it known if they don’t want to be car-
ried any longer, and you will know yourself when it
has been enough for you.
does my baby get enough air in the carrier?
If you make sure that the mouth and nasal passages
of your child are unobstructed, and your Mei Tai
is tied tightly, then your baby is getting enough air.
your baby should not be in a slumped down position
in the Mei Tai. This would keep him from breathing

are delivered prematurely. They are actually sup-

months, but our species’ upright walk makes that
impossible. The proximity between mother and
child, especially in the first few months, is abso-

can the Mei Tai be worn by people of different
heights?
yes. Through the simple tying of the shoulder straps,
complicated adjustments to different heights are un-
necessary. The length of the shoulder straps depends
on where the knot is tied. No difficult-to-operate
buckles are needed!
I have read that carrying babies upright can be harm-
ful to their spines. Is this true?
If your baby’s back is properly supported, and he is
in the correct ‘froggy style’ position, carrying your
baby upright will support the correct development of
your baby’s hip and spine.
My baby’s head does not stick out of the Mei Tai.
What can I do?
your baby’s head should not be entirely covered
by the backrest. If your baby can’t look out of the
