A Mei Tai is a carrier (mei tai burðarpoki) which is a combination of a bag and a woven wrap; it has the comfort of a wrap and the ease of use of a bag!

The Mei Tai from ByKay has a waist belt that is padded and fastened with a clip. The shoulder straps are wrapped and tied the way you want them. This means that when you carry different kids or share the carrier with someone else, you don’t need to constantly change all the settings!

This carrier can be used on the front, hip, and back, and is suitable from newborn to toddler (about 23 kilos/3 years). The shoulderstraps are wide, so that the weight can be distributed across your shoulders and back. The carrier also has a hood that can be used when your baby is sleeping or as as extra neck support when rolled up. This model of the Mei Tai also comes with padded shoulder straps that can be put over the shoulder bands which could provide extra comfort when carrying heavier children or when back carrying.

To fit children of different sizes, the height of the panel which goes behind the child’s back can be adjusted by rolling, and the width can be adjusted with snaps.

The Mei Tai is made of organic cotton.
