What did you buy: "Peace Out" Mei Tai

How was the customer service: Excellent! The cart overcharged me on shipping, and Shanna refunded the difference within an hour. She is a really sweet mama to work with.

Review of the product: I am really impressed with this mei tai. The body is tall and my almost 2-year old can put him arms in and snuggle down, or we can fold the headrest down and he can have his arms out and see the world. The body is not stiff and inflexible, but rather kind of floppy (I would compare it to a Freehand). I really like this, because its softer and more comfortable to my ds and I don't feel like he's burning up in our hot and humid weather.

The gaberdine straps are so very soft, and they have just enough padding to add comfort without bulk. The pleated shoulder straps have a bit of a learning curve, but it is worth it. I wore my 26 pound ds on my back for three hours immediately upon receiving the mei tai and I had no pain or discomfort. I then wore him in a front carry for another hour, and he fell right asleep and neither of us were uncomfortable. Like all mei tais, the trick is to getting it tight enough.

I am a size 8, and the waist straps are more than long enough. I can wrap them around myself twice. The shoulder straps are long enough for me to do a lexi twist in a back carry, bring to the front and then tie in the back. These are just her standard size straps, not custom ordered.


Any additional comments: You get more than your money's worth with a Sweet Slings mei tai. I will buy these for baby shower gifts for years to come.

Would you do business with them again? Yes, definitely!

What did you buy: Brown and Turquoise Batik Ring Sling

How was the customer service: Excellent! The cart overcharged me on shipping, and Shanna refunded the difference very quickly. She is a really great mama to work with.

Review of the product: I am very impressed with my new sling. I purchased it for use with my newborn, but my toddler has been using it since I got it on a hip carry. He loves it too and I don’t have to carry his full weight. I love that it’s versatile enough for both my Los. The fabric is absolutely beautiful and I love the pocket to keep a paci in or clipped to. I am really looking forward to wearing my newborn in it.

Any additional comments: These slings are beautifully made and well worth the money. I am looking forward to getting a mei tei soon. I will definitely put these on my list of must haves for new moms.

Would you do business with them again? Yes, definitely!

Where did you purchase the item(s) from: mei tai from www.hyenacart.com/sweetslings and poo pails from DS WAHM forum

What did you buy: Custom OBV mei tai, 2 custom poo pails

How was the customer service: Shanna is awesome! She worked with to get just the custom items I wanted. She always answered emails promptly and kept me updated on the status of my order.

Review of the product:
The OBV mei tai is to die for. Tha fabric is extremely soft and warm - perfect for the cooler weather. The padded straps are comfortable and wide. Very easy to use. The construction is very sturdy and the finish is professional.
The custom poo pails are beautiful and useful. I use one for dirty dipes and the other for dirty laundry. I got one hanger top and one snap top. I like both designs - I hang one from a hook near the changing table and the other is hanging in the closet. They are very sturdy - hold a lot of wet/dirty dipes without fail. They also wash nicely.

Any additional comments: Shanna is terrific to work with - one of my fav sellers. She really made me feel like a valued customer. Plus her prices are terrific for the quality of items she provides.

Would you do business with them again? YES! I highly recommend Shanna and her products.
