Can be worn on the front facing in or out, on the hip, or back. With just a little practice, the tying methods quickly become second nature. Do not carry your baby front facing forward until he or she can support his or her head. Inspired by traditional Chinese baby carriers used on the back, pronounced Meh¹ Dai² in Cantonese (superscript numbers represent tones); bēidài in Mandarin. Mei tai is from an older Cantonese-English Romanization system. All transliterations are meant to communicate the same word, but use different romanizations to spell Chinese words in English, and of course many different Chinese dialects exist as well.
