Yay! I finally have a website, so to speak. After months of trying to figure out how to sell these beautiful baby carriers, I have decided that a blog-style website is the way to go. This blog is the exclusive place to see all the great carriers that I have in stock and to inquire about custom orders.
Greenbean Mei Tais are made first and foremost with safety in mind. Style and functionality comes in a very close second. These Mei Tais are constructed with love and aloha in beautiful Hawai'i. I sew them all myself (in my bedroom...) and all are made as if I would be carrying my own son in them. I use an internal "x-box" construction and triple stitch all the topstitching to make sure the carriers are strong and long lasting. The straps and waist band of a Greenbean Mei Tai are padded for a comfortable baby wearing experience.
The straps of the Mei Tais are made with high quality corduroy or twill and are reinforced with twill at all stress points. The straps generally come in 72" lengths or 90" lengths, but can be custom ordered for any desired length. The ends of all the straps feature decorative top stitching.
The body of a Greenbean Mei Tai is a sight to behold. I use beautiful fabrics from the best designers (Echino, Robert Kaufman, Amy Butler, Marimekko, Onishi, ect.) and lusterous dupoini silks. Custom orders can come in any fabric you desire. The hoods of my Mei Tais are also made with great designer fabrics and dupoini silk. The body and hood also feature beautiful decorative top stitching. The body of a Greenbean Mei Tai is contoured for baby's comfort and the hood is sewn directly to the body.

SAFETY AND DISCLAIMER: Greenbean Mei Tais are made with the utmost care and attention to safety. This being said, it is also important to consider safety when wearing your baby. Your hands will be your number one tool to help support your baby and should always be used while getting used to carrying your child or wearing your sling. You will probably find that you instinctively keep a free hand on the baby and will thereby be sensitive to his or her movements or shifting weight. You should be seated and focused when using your carrier for the first time and when trying new positions or holds. It important to be remain concious of the fact that your child is attached to you at all times and adjust your activities accordingly . To keep your child safe there are some important things to remember when wearing your sling:
1. While wearing your sling you should be very careful when bending over. You should never bend at the waist, instead bend at the knees. Even when bending at your knees you should hold your child in the sling with one or both hands.
2. Doing housework while carrying your child is a one of the things that makes baby carrying so convenient. Not all jobs should be tackled while wearing your baby however. For example, be careful wearing your child while in the kitchen. There are dangers in the kitchen from which your child needs protection.
3. While preparing or cooking food you should never wear your child. Don't wear your child near a stove or knives, and don't try to do the dishes while wearing your child unless he or she is in an appropriate rear hold or carry.
4. It is safe to wear your child while eating, but there are some precautions you should use: Do not drink hot beverages when wearing your child and be careful when eating hot food that it does not fall or transfer to your child which could cause burns.
5. When working on project or handywork you should never use sharp or hot objects glue guns, utility knives, etc.
6. Both infants and toddlers can be carried in baby carriers. Toddlers pose a different hazard because they can grab and reach. Dangerous or breakable objects on shelves or countertops should be an arms distance or more away from child's reach.
7. As you move through your home and any building you must be aware of the distance between objects and your child. When going through doorways or around corners, be careful that your child's body does not stick out past your arm and strike the wall or door jam.
8. Do not ride a bike or other moving vehicle while wearing your child. You should not walk on treadmill, stair climber, or any other moving equipment.
9. Do not try to iron while wearing your baby in a front hold position.It's your baby in there, and your responsibility to keep them safe. These baby carriers are not substitutes for an approved carseat. Make sure you use your sling carefully. Your child is not strapped in so you must make sure that they are positioned correctly and safely. Before each use check your sling to make sure that the seams are intact. Responsibility for the safety of the child is held by the person using the sling and not Greenbean Mei Tais.
