Asian Style Carriers (also called ABCs for Asian Baby Carriers)
Wallypop Mei Tai Carrier
The Wallypop Mei Tai (sometimes also called an Asian Baby Carrier, ABC, Mei Tie, or MT), is ideal for you and your baby, from birth through toddlerhood. It is a fairly simple baby carrier with several carrying positions possible. Our straps are long enough to accommodate most body types and sizes, without being too long for smaller frames (approx 60 inch top straps, 30 inch bottom straps). Women over size 18, men who are tall or over size XL, and anyone who is concerned about fit should please email us. Generally speaking, these carriers will fit these sizes just fine, but there is such a variation in body shapes, we're happy to double-check that the straps will be suitable or work with you to create a carrier that will fit, and there's never an extra charge for making longer straps. Fewer seams = More safety We make our Mei Tais using one solid piece of fabric on each side, with the seams around the edges. We believe that fewer seams means more safety for your precious cargo. Carriers sewn with pieced fabric carry the risk of those seams pulling apart, potentially harming the integrity of your carrier. The bodies of these carriers are under quite a bit of stress and strain while they're holding your baby, and extra seams are not a risk we're willing to take with your children - that's why we here at Wallypop have designed our carriers for the utmost in safety.
Mei Tai Details:
Available Options Explained: Add Storage Pocket: A pocket will be sewn to the outside of the carrier's body. It provides a handy place to stash some money or small items, and also serves as a storage bag for the carrier itself. A small carrying strap is included.
Wallypop Onbuhimo Carrier
The Wallypop Onbuhimo Carrier is a great carrier for older babies and toddlers. It is a simple carrier that allows a baby to be worn front or back. An onbuhimo is a post-war Japanese carrier. It is very similar to a Mai Tai but instead of both shoulder and waist straps, it has only shoulder straps and a pair of rings at the waist. The straps go over the wearer's shoulders, then through the rings, as you can see in the photos. Our straps are long enough to accommodate most body types and sizes. Women over size 18, men over size XL, and anyone who is concerned about fit should please email us. Chances are, the carrier will fit, but we'd rather be safe than sorry! We're happy to work with you to create a carrier that will fit, and there's never an extra charge for making longer straps.

Wallypop Podegi Carrier
A Podegi is an Korean-style carrier. Traditionally, a Podegi is made from heavy quilted fabrics, but Wallypop Podegis omit the batting and quilting, to make a lighter weight yet still supportive carrier. The Wallypop Podegi is comfortable and easy to wear. It has a more limited range of carrying positions than a wrap, but is easier to use. Because the body of the carrier drapes over you and baby, Podegi carriers tend to be warmer, as well, and are perfect for spring and fall. The standard strap length will fit most mamas and daddies, up to about a size 22 or XXL. If you are concerned about the fit of your carrier, please email us and we'll be happy to work with you. Podegi carriers are not currently available as an in stock item. Please order using the Made-To-Order form below.

Please use common sense when using Wallypop slings and carriers. Keep a hand on your baby when bending, stooping, walking through a crowded area, etc. You can expect years of service from your Wallypop products, but take care to look over your slings and carriers before each use. Do not use your sling or carrier if the stitching has ripped or the straps are getting worn out. Limited wearing instructions are available here. Wallypop cannot be responsible for misuse, breeches of common sense, or any injuries that may result from the use of our slings.
