And it folded down small enough to fit in a large diaper bag. And it was easy to make it fit me and baby. And it was less hot than my other carriers. I don't have a bad back, but I do have a bad neck and my mei tai was great for me for comfort. I easily wore dd in for a couple of hours at a time in a front carry up to about six months--and she was an 80th percentile in weight baby. It was one of the very few baby things I was sad to give away.
