The FreeHand borrows it's design from an Asian style carrier that has been used for centuries. Versatility is the key. One size will work for both mom and dad (Grandma, uncle, aunt, etc), and the FreeHand will carry a child up to 35 pounds comfortably. In addition, it can be worn safely on your front, back or hip.
A Mei Tai consists of a main panel of designer fabric, two long padded shoulder straps and two waist straps.

Yes, please see the instructions for instructions on front, hip and back carries.
Is the FreeHand a good choice for a newborn?
