This was our first Meh Dai experience and we found it as complicated as it looks! I would say it is somewhere between a wrap and the full buckle carrier.
Love that this carrier is so airy. The fabric is very soft and Baby and the wearer can be comfortable even for long durations wih no pain in the back or hip.
However, the wearing is complicated and one needs an extra pair of hands to wear the baby. Even more than wearing, removing the baby is even more stressful, especially if the baby needs to be removed asap.
The hood is great if baby wants to nap. Baby V had a good 2 hour long nap while we walked around the Walk of fame.
Maybe it could be mastered after enough practice but the baby seems to get frustrated if he has to wait too long or is uncomfortable in the process.
I’m not sure if we will buy this in the near future.

Kol Kol Meh Dai – review, features & usage
July 11, 2017
[…] We have also recently tried out the Kol Kol ring sling and Kol Kol Meh Dai. […]
Such a detailed and honest review. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks 🙂
With so many baby carriers in the market, every mom goes through the trouble of selecting any one. I underwent a similar discomfort of getting the baby out with a different brand baby carrier, totally get you!
Right!?
I’ve never used a meh dai but I’ve tried kol kol SSC and it was really light and airy as well. Since you found the meh dai difficult to wrap, maybe you can try the SSC instead.
Yep, love the SSC 🙂
I’ve, unfortunately never used a baby carrier. But I’m definitely going to share your review with moms who are tugging their babies on their arms and crying out in pain!
I used a full buckle baby carrier for both my kids and was very happy with the results. This one that you have reviewed looks very comfortable and also complicated. Your balanced review is much appreciated.
An honest review. Loved the way you discussed the pros and cons.
That’s an honest review. We prefer SSC always. It’s comparatively easy to use and the full buckle support makes it all the more comfortable.
Thanks for the honest review. This one looks really comfortable.
Thanks Deepa
Thats a great review! I hope with practice it gets better to use!!
Havent tried a meh dai yet. I own a full buckle and rings sling. This one looks good.
I love mehdais. They really offer the comfort and closeness of the wrap and the ease of use of a full buckle.
I feel the same. I love the coziness it offers, but it’s a bit of a task to wear it and take it off, especially in public spaces and even more so if you are alone with the baby. But I’d definitely use a Meh Dai for some snuggles at home. 🙂
