Wrap Conversion Halfbuckle - Hoppediz Panama

I have just noticed that I still haven't shown the halfbuckle wrap conversion, I made last year for my husband. I talked about it here.

I made it from a Hoppediz Panama wrap that I had bought on ebay.

The text on the headrest: shush, I'm sleeping!

Height and width of the panel can be adjusted.

Headrest is detachable (and I could make another, more suitable for myself, since this one says 'baby wearing dad')

The straps are upholstered on top (2cm foam) and can be spread further down.

Toddler Meitai

Since I'm currently working on a meitai for my husband, I'd like to look back on previous meitais I made for our older daughter.

The last one was my Wooow Meitai, unfortunately we didn't use it so often, since she preferred to walk at that time.

The other side for a more discreet  design

The shoulder straps are padded so the weight is more comfortable...

Newborn Meitai

For our nephew, who was about 5 weeks premature, we wanted to give a good baby carrier like an Ergo, Bondolino, Mysol, Manduca or Didytai. Ergo we both know and my sister-in-law liked it, too, so we wanted to go for it. However, for newborns let alone prematures an Ergo is not exactly perfect. The legs would be pulled apart too wide (it should not be more than 90 degrees) and the panel too high and too wide not giving enough support to baby's delicate spine. Carrying with a quality baywrap like Didymos, Natibaby, Girasol, Hoppediz or Kokadi would certainly be the best solution, but my sister-in-law found that too unpractical for her. So I decided to sew a newborn meitai from a Didymos Silber Wellen wrap.

The headrest supports the baby's head especially when he is asleep

This specific one can be worn inside out so there is a bit of variety in the design. The inside is made from a Didymos Ellipsen black/ ecru
