Are the Sachi's the only one's with this? I like my Ellaroo for short trips but I want to find a Mei Tai that has a little padding to avoid marks. And one that has the head rest part too that you can flip down or put up.

The only other ABC I know of that has leg padding besides the Sachi is the Sera Tai by Angel Baby:  http://www.angelbabyslings.com/index.php  I haven't tried one myself, but it looks like it has some positive feedback on TBW.  It does have a taller body w/ a headrest, so it may work for you!

If you straps are long enough you could do the twist. Take the shoulder straps and instead of just crossing them, twist them right infront of Logan's bum. Then pull the straps under his legs. The staps then don't dig into your child's thighs.

Thanks, I'll try it! Will a babyhawk with Minkie count as padding?

A minkee BH is cushier than a MT without padding or minkee or a lovey liner.  But the BH doesn't have a headrest that you can flip down.  A BH XT (xtra tall body) will provide excellent head support for a sleeping baby, but there's no flap to flip down when baby's awake.  It used to work better for us when ds wasn't so opinionated about having his arms out when he's awake.

Ann,
Did you try mine on at NINO? If you did, mine is actually an XT. JoLynda's are the regular body size.

Here is a picture that demonstrates this tie:

That is such a neat idea. Was that on the T2T video and I missed it?
