I'd like to buy a mei tei for my 11 mo. I use a lovely 'Pouchlings' ring sling for short walks and calming purposes and a Moby wrap for more heavy duty use. I'd really like something I could use on my back now and although you're supposed to be able to use these two for back carries they're not very practical/ comfortable.
She's a little one, around 18lb, but very strong and mobile. Money is fairly tight (although this is an advance birthday present from great granny) - are there advantages to more expensive ones other than looks?
