At TOP we, as you may have gathered, LOVE babywearing and all that it represents. We also love trying out new carriers and supporting those we love, even if it means we each have a collection large enough to carry a whole brood.
Ellaroo is a great mother-run company that produces all sorts of carriers - wraps, ring slings, podaegis, mei tais and their trademarked mei hip carrier.
We’ve been reviewing the Ellaroo Mei Tai deluxe carrier. Having never used a mei tai myself, I and three other new-ish mothers all blindly gave it a shot. Without fail, we were all sold on the Ellaroo mei tai deluxe within minutes for several reasons.
It has a supportive but not at all bulky body.
The flip up headrest is perfect for a tired or young baby, and it flips down easily & secures with an invisible magnet.
The straps are extra long so we and our vastly different sized husbands could all wear it comfortably.
Speaking of husbands, it reverses to black so even if you’re stuck on pink, your baby’s father can wear the same one.
The straps have just the perfect amount of padding. They’re super comfortable without being bulky.
It was intimidating at first, but we all found it super simple to get our children in and out of. It’s easily worn on the front, side or back.
If you hadn’t already guessed, this is a TOP highly recommended carrier!
Ellaroo products can be purchased from any of their retailers around the world.
Want to see if you like it as much as we do?
