What's the difference between SNUGG Mei Tai (MT) and SNUGG SSC?

SNUGG MT is constructed with 4 long straps and a body panel, 2 of which you need to tie around your waist and another 2 goes over your shoulders and around you and baby. These straps are angled in best possible way to provide most comfort to baby and wearer. The body is mildly padded for baby's comfort and the shoulder straps are padded to provide some cushion to your shoulders

SNUGG SSC on the other hand is constructed with many aspects of a carrier. There is significant firm waist padding, the shoulder straps are padded a bit more generously and all the straps are fasten with highly durable plastic buckles.

Because of the more structured built of a SNUGG SSC, one will find that it's easier to wear and more supportive with long hours of carrying. Some still prefer SNUGG MT claiming that by tying the straps and wrapping it around your body, rather than buckling, the most snug fit can be achieved. SNUGG MT is versatile in a way because you can roll up the bottom, to create shorter body panel, and you can choose where to end the shouder straps (behind baby, under baby's bum or around your waist). SNUGG SSC on the other hand is as is, the placement of buckles are already predetermined at the most comfortable level possible.

The similarities however is the presence of the very well designed inner x-harness (unique to SNUGG MT And SNUGG SSC) which is instilled in both types of carriers which provides extra support you need without adding much bulk to the carrier.

***this is based on personal experience and general opinion from previous customers. Individual parent and baby may have different preference depending on baby's antiques, parents' endurance level and built and babywearing experience.

What is the maximum weight SNUGG carriers can hold?

The general weight limitation depends on the combination durability of the fabric, the seams, the harware (buckles, rings etc). We like to put the weight limitation of 20kg generally for carriers other than SNUGG Bamboo Wrap, not because the carriers cannot hold more weight than that, but it's for safety precautions, comfortable babywearing experience and most parents stop wearing their children as they reach this weight or about 3 yrs of age.

We advice parents that they can wear their children as long as they are both comfortable and if they are carrying heavy toddlers, they should take a break or switch parent from time to time to avoid muscle injuries.

SNUGG Bamboo Wrap on the otherhand is made from fabric that stretches therefore not recommended to carry weight >10kgs as the fabric may sag and this can be uncomfortable for long period of babywearing.

Parents should also examine their carriers from time to time and check for any signs of wear and tear. If in doubt stop using the carrier and contact us at SNUGGbaby to see if anything needs mending or touch-up. Take advantage of our amazing customer service for the SNUGGbaby products you own.

Is it possible to try before I buy?

Yes! In fact we do much prefer it that you try, feel and experience yourself why SNUGG Carrier is ideal for you and baby before making the commitment to buy. Although because SNUGGbaby is still a very young company, we are unable to full cater to your needs but there are a few ways you can get your hands on SNUGG SSC testers around the country and Paris!

  1. Ask to loan a prototype. From time to time our prototype goes out to parents by courier and you can borrow this prototype (we require shipping and RM250 refundable deposit) for a period of 2 weeks. We either refund your deposit as soon as the carrier returns in good condition, or you just need to top up if you decide that SNUGG SSC is right for you.
  2. Meet our resellers in JB, KB and/or Shah Alam. You can set up a meet with our dedicated resellers and try out SNUGG SSCs or other SNUGG carrier that they may have and you can also place your orders through them.
  3. Drop by Tiny Tapir Eco Shop in Bangsar Village, or Ampang Park. We have placed a sample of SNUGG SSC at each location.

Basically we go to Pulau Pinang every 3-4 months, we go to KL almost every month and we go on trips to miscellaneous location all over the country more than twice a year.
  5. Visit SNUGGstudio in Ipoh or arrange to meet anywhere in Ipoh almost anytime of the week.

How durable is SNUGGbaby handmade products and do they last long?

We can't really say because we are only 2 years old but the very first SNUGG Diaper Clutch that we ever made is still in very good condition, almost like new eventhough it has been heavily utilised, washed many cycles and have traveled to many many countries.

The first ever SNUGG SSC made in Q3 2009 using less superior hardwares still look and functions great even after traveling all over the country and east europe for 3 long month

Since we have a very good customer service and we know carriers well, if you have any doubt about the condition of your aged SNUGG Carriers don't hesitate to contact us.
