The Mei Tai Baby Carrier in black is a powerful and timeless choice for parents who love simplicity, functionality and style. Black is not only stylish and modern, but also incredibly practical in everyday use. The deep, solid color is less prone to stains, blends effortlessly with any outfit, while exuding calmness and sturdiness. Ideal for parents who are on the go a lot or like to live minimalist without compromising on softness or comfort.
This variant is part of our Uni series and made of 100% hydrophilic cotton; a double layer of soft, breathable fabric known for its lightness and suppleness. The baby carrier moulds beautifully to your baby's body as well as yours, providing optimal support and a natural fit from day one. The Mei Tai is even suitable for premature babies and can be used up to 20 kg. Good for carrying pleasure up to 4-5 years old.
The ergonomic design ensures that your baby automatically sits in the correct M position: with the knees higher than the buttocks and a slightly arched back. This position promotes healthy hip development and also feels like a safe, relaxed position for your baby.
For you, the wearer, this baby carrier offers exceptional comfort. The wide shoulder straps fall nicely over your shoulders and distribute the weight evenly over your upper body. No suffering from neck pain or tired shoulders, even with prolonged carrying. The adjustable waist strap has a sturdy snap buckle and a handy storage pocket for essentials such as your phone or keys. The matching hat offers protection from sun, wind or stimuli.
The black version of this Mei Tai is loved by parents looking for a baby carrier that performs as well as it looks. It is stylish enough for formal occasions, but sturdy and practical enough for everyday use. Ideal for carrying on walks, errands or just at home with your baby close to you. Its compact design makes it easy to take with you and pull a jacket or cardigan over it without any effort.
The baby carrier can be easily washed at 30 degrees and dries best outdoors. Customers call this baby carrier "the perfect balance of style and function," "more comfortable than any other I've tried" and "the only baby carrier I truly enjoy using."

Carry your baby on your belly or back with the Mei tai. Outdoors or just cozy indoors? The breathable fabric is suitable for all situations (and is incredibly soft for your child's skin). The side edge of the back has extra padding for even more comfort and support for your child. You easily adjust your child's neck support with the strings. The hat provides protection from sun, rain and wind. The extra thickening along the edge is super soft for the hollows of your child's knees. And we thought of you, too! The Mei tai has extra-wide shoulder straps that form all over the shoulders - not on the shoulders or neck - distributing the weight to the entire back. Result? No neck pain while carrying. Very nice. The baby carrier also features a comfortable, adjustable waist belt with soft padding for extra carrying comfort.
This is how to use the Mei tai Baby Carrier No fumbling with the long yards of fabric of a baby carrier: the Mei tai is easy to use. You simply click the buckle on the waist belt and tie the shoulder straps. The simple system makes it easy to put your child in the carrier.

I'm really happy with it, and it's much easier than I thought!
I highly recommend it—it’s a really great baby carrier. Our little girl loves it, and it’s so comfortable!! We’re so happy with all of Ilmaha’s products. It’s truly a fantastic brand!! 😍
Mei Tai Baby Carrier, solid color—we’re so happy with it!
My little one prefers to sleep close to me, so I couldn’t get much done.
I’d tried a baby carrier from another brand before, but he didn’t like it🫣
So I thought, “Well, if he doesn’t like the baby carrier, then I won’t use it.”
That is, until my sister gave me an Ilmaha baby carrier.
And sure enough, he sleeps like a baby😍 and I have my hands free💪🏾
Going for walks outside with a baby carrier, doing household chores with a baby carrier, running after my 2.5-year-old—I do it all with an Ilmaha baby carrier😂😍
It’s incredibly comfortable! And the little one absolutely loves it! I highly recommend it to everyone—it’s worth every penny!!❤️
Ik ben dol op alle Ilmaha producten welke ik tot nu toe heb gekocht! Waaronder de relaxhoes en de mai tai draagzak! <3 ik blijf zeker klant van jullie❤️ tot een volgende keer 🥰🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I’m extremely happy with the Mei Tai baby carrier. Our daughter loves it. The fabric is soft and supple, and it’s incredibly comfortable to wear. Ilmaha’s customer service is fantastic—fast delivery, and they’re always there to answer any questions. I definitely recommend Ilmaha’s products for you and your little one 🤎
We discovered this baby carrier at the We Are Pregnant fair, and after our daughter was born, we actually bought it. What a great baby carrier! The combination of a sturdy buckle and the versatility of the wide shoulder straps is ideal for us.
A really nice baby carrier. At first, I didn't like carrying my baby, but this carrier is comfortable, easy to adjust, and feels very light because the weight isn't concentrated on your neck (where other straps often slip down) but is distributed across the width of your shoulders. It's made of soft, high-quality fabric. I'm really excited about it.
Great baby wrap!
My little girl wouldn't stay in any baby wrap or carrier until we tried this one! It took her a couple of tries to get used to it, but after that she fell asleep right away, sound as a log.
I'm so happy with this purchase!
I'm really happy with this mei tai! It was easy to tie after watching the video. I tried a baby carrier first, but my son didn't sit comfortably in it. With this mei tai, his hips are in a much better position, and I find the wide fabric straps over my shoulders much more comfortable than those on a baby carrier. In short, I'm a satisfied customer!
Very soft and beautiful fabric. You’ll get the hang of tying the knots in no time. Our little one sleeps so soundly in the Mei Tai. I hope to be able to use it for a long time to come!
I bought this Mei Tai at the fair and I’m so happy with it now. I haven’t regretted it for a second! Beautiful color (even for my husband) and lovely fabric. You get the hang of tying it quickly—after doing it twice, I can do it in my sleep. Our 4-week-old sleeps so soundly in it. It’s been worth every euro!
I’m so happy with this mei tai! Thanks to the waistband that fastens with a click system, it not only feels very secure, but it’s also really comfortable to wear! Our daughter has loved being carried this way ever since she was just a few weeks old. And I’m happy because it gives me a moment with my hands free!
This is a really nice step up from using a tight-fitting baby wrap. My baby had to get used to the freedom of movement at first, but now sleeps soundly in it.
I do find that after walking for a while, the wrap slips down a bit at the shoulders. This means you have to re-tie it to keep it ergonomic, which ends up waking the baby.
Other than that, I’m super satisfied—it’s fun to personalize it with a name!
Beautiful blanket.
Unfortunately, my little boy doesn't like it at all. Plus, it gives me a really sore back after a while.
So for me personally, it's a bit of a letdown, unfortunately.
Terrible baby carrier—no support at the top because you have to tie the straps yourself, which gives me a really sore neck and shoulders. The baby’s head keeps slipping down. I don’t believe all those good reviews…
Unfortunately, I threw away the box back then, but I don’t use the carrier anymore. Such a waste! Way too expensive for such a “flimsy” baby carrier.
We offer several types of mei tai baby carriers. The plain, rib, teddy and marble. But what differences are there really? Which mei tai baby carrier is suitable in summer and which in winter? Which fabric are they made of? In this video we show you all the different mei tai baby carriers and tell you all the features of each variant.
