Video instructions: How to carry your baby in a mei tai
Important note: Besides the instructions that come with every Asteraki and the videos you’ll find on this site, there are special educational instructional videos that are ONLY for Asteraki carriers. They are not on this site and they are not public on YouTube. To see them, get in touch with us with your purchase details and we’ll send them to you. We’d also like to remind you that, besides in-person training appointments, we can go over anything that concerns you via video call too (Skype, Facebook, Viber, etc.).
Below you’ll find a collection of all the videos about using a mei tai carrier (with fabric straps).
They apply only to Asteraki carriers (they do not apply to carriers from other makers, even if they look similar to Asteraki carriers).
Almost all of the videos below are usually accompanied by detailed instructions and comments about the carry they show. It’s best not to watch them in isolation from that content, but to find them in their original place.
