The Didymos Meh-Dai (also known as the DidyTai) is a one-size carrier that adjusts to fit newborns all the way to babies up to 35lbs/16 Kg. Didymos’ version of the Meh-Dai is made from the same fabrics as their beautiful woven wraps so there is always a colour and pattern available to suit everyone’s tastes. The fabric is purposefully woven for babywearing and moulds to both the wearer and baby for an ergonomic and comfortable carry each and every time. With the Meh-Dai, there is the added feature of a more structured shape over a woven wrap, for those that prefer the structure.
About the Didymos Meh-Dai (DidyTai)
The Didymos Meh-Dai is an easy to use baby carrier. It is made from a double-layer rectangular piece of DIDYMOS woven wrap fabric, with four straps sewn to each corner of the panel. It has no buckles, snaps or Velcro fasteners, so nothing that could wear out, harm or startle baby when putting on or taking off the carrier. The top straps are wide and gathered where sewn to the body panel. They tie tightly around the wearer’s shoulders, distributing baby’s weight very evenly. The bottom straps tie together around the waist and provide a secure hold for the baby. The Didy Meh-Dai supports baby’s optimal ergonomic spread-squat-position, which keeps any unnatural stress off of baby’s spine and joints and promotes the healthy development of the hip joints.
The Didy Meh-Dai has a drawstring at the bottom of the panel so that it can be adjusted in width for small babies and re-adjusted as baby grows. It is strongly recommended to only carry baby in the front until baby has developed torso, neck and head control. Once at that stage of development, baby will have met all safety requirements and the Didy Meh-Dai then makes a great carrier for back and hip carries.
The Didy Meh-Dai includes a sleep hood which is a wonderful feature for when baby falls asleep, or for added protection from the elements. Simply unroll the hood when needed and when not in use, roll it up to keep it out of the way. The hood can also be used to lengthen the size of the panel for larger babies, offering some extra back support.
The Didy Meh-Dai is a wonderful option for people that like the idea of a soft structured carrier (a.k.a. SSC, or backpack carrier) but love the feel of a wrap. It is not as versatile as a wrap but it is simple to use and easy to learn. It has the benefits of the adjustability and mouldability of a wrap without all the stiff buckles and padding of a soft structured carrier!
The Didy Meh-Dai (DidyTai) can be used for a front, hip and back carry. It is important to note that in most circumstances, the baby should have torso, neck and head control before using the hip or back carry.

How do the different weaves in the Didy Meh-Dai compare?
In our opinion, they are all wonderful and are made to carry newborns to toddlers alike! Just like with other carriers, it is a matter of tweaking the carry so it fits just right for both you and baby. We recommend if your baby is small to tie the carrier on apron style (where the with the waist cinched narrow for newborns and if your baby is older, tie non-apron style with the waist un-cinched. Adjust the straps and hood and away you go!
