Does the baby sit up by itself?
For babies who can sit up by themselves the ideal choice is a Mei-Tai Carrier. It's easy to put the active baby in it and wear it in the front, or on your back. Little more difficult to use would be a woven sling, but if it's tied properly it will evenly spread the weight of your baby - so it's better to use it for a long walks for example.
Will the sling be used for carrying babies younger than 5 months ?
It's a crucial information, because 5 to 6 months is a period when the strength of child's backbone increases and gets it's stiffness. There's not much sense buying a stretchy wrap then, and we should rather start thiking about a Mei-Tai carrier, or a Bamboo/Woven Sling.

Is it essential for you to buy a product that will last for longer ?
If we think mainly about the purchase costs, you may decide to buy woven cloth. It is good for both the newborn and 2-3 years old. It can be used for a variety of ways and certainly will serve a long time the whole family. Stretchy wrap is a very good option for children up to 10 kg, which lasts for less, while in the Baby Bag Mei-Tai slightly older children can be worn - those who could sit up by themselves.
Is it essential for you to have a sling/carrier that characterizes with extra aeration ?
All our slings and carriers are made of cotton. Thanks to that they're skin-friendly, well absorb moisture and breathe, but each has a different degree of aeration. The best in this respect are slings and carriers with the addition of bamboo. On hot days stretchy wraps are less comfortable, because the correct tying of this wrap consists of three layers. In Mei-Tai carriers air passes freely because less material wraps the child and the parent (consists of panel placed the child in it, and rather narrow shoulders for the tie.) So if our child has at least 5 months and can sit up by itself, it is a good choice for hot summer days.
are particularly recommended for newborns. They are very comfortable to use, because we put in the newborn into almost prepared binding. There is also less problems with snapping the sling, because it is flexible, so well adapted to the little body of child.
Mei-tai Carriers
are very popular group of soft slings, such Asian slings experience their renaissance in Europe. This is a piece of cloth tied to the body with four long strips. They do not have any rigidities (like a flexible cloth or woven cloth), allowing for carrying a child according to physiology of young spike.
Woven Baby Wraps
