It is light as a feather out of the water but strong enough to hold toddlers up to 35lbs. It includes a body panel with ties at each of the 4 corners. A buckle meh dai replaces the bottom ties worn around the waist with webbing and a buckle. This means less fabric and more security with that reassuring "click." Our Buckle Meh Dai includes an attached hood that can be used to protect baby's head/face when they fall asleep, or it can be rolled behind their head as a support when they are awake. This hi-tech knit fabric is made with 100% recycled PET water bottles right here in the US.
