Our meh dai comes in two lengths, short and long.

Our short length meh dai features a waist band that accommodates waists up to 40” and the shoulder straps are 90" long.

Our long length meh dai features a waist band that accommodates waists up to 74” and the shoulder straps are 104" long.

We recommend basing your length choice on the waist band size. If you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up to ensure you have enough length in the waist band. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on sizing!

Yup! Attached to the carrier is an adjustable hood with magnetic snaps to secure it, making it even easier to use!

Our meh dai carrier is safety-tested for use with kids weighing 8 to 45 pounds! It is our highest weight limit out of all of our carriers and truly allows you to carry your babe from infancy through toddlerhood. This is one of our favorite toddler carriers!

Absolutely! Size-inclusivity is a core brand value for us and one of the reasons we started our company. Our long length meh dai can accomodate up to a 74" waist! You can learn more about how our baby carriers work well for plus-size parents here.

Meh dais are a more structured carrier than our ring slings and wraps. You can learn more about each of our carriers here on our comparison page!

All three names refer to the same type of carrier! The spelling "Meh Dai" (pronounced meh-dye) is the closest English approximation of the Cantonese pronunciation, so that is the name we use! The word Meh Dai literally means “straps to carry (something on the back)."
