what is the difference btw a mei tai carrier and beco butterfly?

*Lu-Lu*

I am interested in getting a carrier for the new baby.  I have a sling but would like something that I can have my hands free with. 

I'm so confused about all these carriers.  Someone help me!

The way they fasten.  MeiTai's tie, Becos have buckles.  How's that for alliteration? LOL

thebabywearer.com has lots of ratings, etc on diff carriers.

I will trust Kori's explanation because I am not familiar with MeiTeis.  Just wanted to say that I LOVE my Beco Butterfly!

I don't have a Beco, but I have a Babyhawk (mei tei) and a Moby-like wrap and love both of them.  They are both super easy to use, comfy, and make me completely hands free.

I think Michaeltrish was referring to the beverage

I have been looking into this a lot lately, too. I decided to go with the Becco over a Mei Tai because it is easier to put on(no wrapping and tying) and I can wear the baby on my back when it's bigger without needing help. With the Mei Tai's, you need to either be really flexible or have someone steady the baby on your back for you while you tie it on. The baby sits in the Becco so you just swing it around. Also, you can switch wearers without taking the baby out. HTH.
