The Mei Tai combines the best of everything in one baby carrier: the ease of use and speed of a baby carrier, with the comfort and security of a baby sling. The Mei Tai can be adjusted in height by rolling the waistband. This ensures that the top of the baby carrier aligns exactly with your baby's neck, allowing for ergonomic wearing. With larger children, it is not a problem if their shoulders and/or arms stick out above the baby carrier, giving them more freedom of movement. The width of the baby carrier can be adjusted by making it narrower between the legs with the flap at the knee hollows. You do this by securing the narrowest setting with the button, so that the baby carrier supports your baby from knee hollow to knee hollow and the lower legs dangle relaxed downwards. The shoulder straps can be spread out wide for more comfort, but can also be transformed into soft baby carrier straps by using the included shoulder pads. The sleep hood provides protection against weather conditions or other stimuli, but can also be rolled up to create a neck roll. You can also carry your child on your back from the moment they can sit independently, which is usually between 6 and 8 months. Based on the width and height of the Mei Tai Deluxe, this baby carrier can be used up to a size 98 in children's clothing.

This can be used from trouser size 50 (but fits perfectly from size 62) up to trouser size 86.
The height of the back panel is a maximum of 40 cm. This can be reduced by rolling the waistband. (1 roll: height 32 cm, 2 rolls: height 28 cm.)
The width of the carrier, for an ergonomic M-position with support from knee pit to knee pit, is a maximum of 42 cm. (can be narrowed with flaps and buttons to 26 cm.)
Our ergonomic baby carriers are the result of nearly 25 years of knowledge and experience, meeting the strictest safety standards and certified to EN13209, ASTM, and Oekotex. The ergonomic M-position supports back and hip development, and is also endorsed by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Additionally, carrying promotes the bond between parent and baby through the production of oxytocin and the feeling of safety and security. Research shows that carried babies cry less!
