Inspired by Asian baby carriers, the Mei Tai Air model is the perfect compromise between a wrap and a structured baby carrier. Comfortable, flexible, and lightweight, it is very simple to use and takes up little space.
Ergonomic Design: The Mei Tai Air stands out with its soft polyester mesh fabric, which wets and dries quickly, ideal for water use and hot summer days. The baby carrier's structure is designed to distribute weight optimally across the wearer's body. The long, wrap-like straps offer a similar comfort level to a wrap, both for the wearer
and the baby. With no plastic buckles or irritating straps, the contact is gentle on the skin.
Innovative Adjustment System: The Mei Tai Air is the first evolutionary baby carrier with a straightforward adjustment system. It adapts to the baby's body from birth by shrinking the waistband and sides. This allows you to seat the baby according to their size and the development of their hips and back while supporting them in an ergonomic squat position. The baby carrier is also padded at the shoulders and waistband for maximum wearer comfort.
The Mei Tai Air is perfect from birth and can be used as long as the wearer desires, ensuring optimal comfort and safety for parents and children.
