About Minimeis
Minimeis: a Scandinavian brand, founded by fathers, for families who are always on the go.
Three Norwegian dads decided to create a product that encourages parents to be more active with their kids. With their background in design and product development, they set out to create the world’s best baby carrier. The result? MiniMeis! When they became parents themselves, they wanted to find the best way to let our kids discover the world in a safe and fun way. MiniMeis was founded, developed, and tested in Norway. The invention is the first of its kind and is patented worldwide.
The MiniMeis gives your child a perfect view of the world, safely from your shoulders. Comfort and hands-free for both of you!
Their goal is to make children (and parents) happy!
Shoulder carrier and backpack
As parents, we know that feeling of excitement when we see our child’s face light up with joy as they’re lifted onto our shoulders. That’s why they developed the MiniMeis, so children can enjoy that same amazing view and closeness, but with the added comfort and safety of an award-winning shoulder carrier. So fasten the straps and get your child ready to go. Let’s make memories together, with both hands free, every step of the way.
The MiniMeis HERO backpack is the ultimate companion for parenting and everyday life. With its sleek design and ingenious features, the HERO isn’t just any backpack; it’s the solution for every moment you share with your little one—and so much more. It’s the diaper bag Dad wants to use at the office and the only backpack in the world that transforms into a baby seat on the go.

MiniMeis has been tested for several years, and the safety element has always been the most important element during development. It is one of the most secure carriers on the market. Since MiniMeis is not a free hanging support unit, the restraint and weight distribution system is less subject to material fatigue caused by gravity than conventional carriers. The child is not placed in any unnatural positions during use, but rather sitting in a natural position safely secured on the parent’s shoulders. The weight of the child is evenly distributed through the carriers’ body, which allows parents to maintain the natural human balance during active use. The leg straps replace the traditional hand grip during shoulder carrying and attach the child’s legs to the harness. The backrest protects the child from falling backwards and the adults head prevents the child from falling forward. A waist belt is provided for extra safety.
For our smallest users (approx. 6 – 10 months), the MiniMeis has an optional shoulder strap that can be used for extra support and safety. With this strap the child is secured with a patented 9-point harness. See our starter guide for more info. The MiniMeis is equipped with a weight distribution system that allows the child to sit on an elevated arch, avoiding direct pressure on the adult’s neck, shoulders and collarbone. Parents only concern is to be aware of obstacles above their head, which would also be the case when carrying your child on the shoulders without MiniMeis.
The Minimeis is tested according to European standard for framed carriers. The carrier has been tested up to the set standard of 18 kg. That said, the durable material used on the MiniMeis can withstand more weight than you’d comfortably want to carry – so it’s really up to you, the parents, how much weight you want distributed on your shoulders.
One of the many advantages of the MiniMeis shoulder carrier is that it can be used for years. The main guidelines are from 6 months to 4 years. But every child is different and has different needs. Just like in a high chair, the child must be able to sit upright without support before sitting in a MiniMeis. The child must be able to hold their head upright. For the youngest users (from approximately 6 to 10 months), the included shoulder strap can be used for extra upper body support. See our starter guide for more information.
