Bigger Baby Carrier for DH

mooncusp22

I got the Baby Bjorn original carrier... my DH is the one who really really wants a carrier. Anyway, tried it on him and even with it expanded to it's fullest it is tight on him. He bodybuilds and has large back/chest/arms. Is there a larger cut carrier that anyone knows of? Or does the baby bjorn come with extenders?

Ergo has extenders.

I've read that the Boba 3G is good for taller or plus size parents. I haven't purchased it yet, but I plan to try it.

We have the bjorn active it is the only one that fits DH, but his is more a height issue at 6'6" the ergo does not fit him well, but I love it for me.

Hi- We have the same issue, i can't wait to see other replies.

For DS, i just carried him all the time, DH is 6'6 and solid. I have an extender but couldn't get him to try it.

I was looking at the Beco this time, i wonder if anyone has experience with that.

For me, the Bjorn hurt my back after DS got a little bigger (which took, like, a week ).

We are getting the Beco Gemini since both DH and I are tall and long torso-ed. It has great reviews and is a similar fit to the Ergo in terms of comfort, putting on, etc., but bigger and doesn't require the infant insert.

The Beco, Ergo and Boba are all known to comfortably carry kids to 40/45 lbs too, which is a big plus and all are ergonomically correct for baby.

The beco is also one of the few that are rated for forward facing! This is the one we plan to get, even though DH and I don't have to worry about size haha.
