anyone still use a front carrier?

megann831

I have a big boy (17 lbs 26") I love using the front carrier because it makes chasing after a 2 year old so much easier, but he's definitely starting to outgrow mine.  Are there any for older/ bigger babies?  I'm also pretty petite if that matters

I have a mei tai that I really like, and it can be used front and back. I usually use it on the front with my 12 month old, but she's only 29 inches and not quite 18 lbs., so I can't say how well it would grow with your LO.

I use my Ergo with dd all the time.  She's around 20lb now and 28ish inches and it's very comfortable.

I don't know what you're using, but DH and I both still wear our 1 year old, and he's 22lbs.  We have an Ergo, Pikkolo, and Babyhawk we still wear.

What type of carrier are you using?

DS is about 20 lbs. I wear him in a Boba 3G or a ring sling. They both work great. You can do either front or back carry with both. It depends what I 'm doing as to which carry I use. The boba is still really comfortable in any carry though.

Our Ergo works great, in fact it's been in the last month or so that I've started using it more now that he's a bit bigger. Hip carry is my favorite position but front works just fine too.

This, LOVE my Ergo!

I use a ring sling still and love it.

I know multiple people who have continued using carriers through toddlerhood - I've heard a lot of recommendations for Mei Tei's.

We have a Beco Butterfly 2 and are in love with it. I front and back carry her in it. ( she is only 16 lbs at almost 11 months though) but she still has a lot of room to grow in it. It has a panel in it so that i can put her in on my front and swing it around to the back. ( i'm not much for strapping her in on my back lol) There are a lot of groups on facebook for carriers and wraps that are super helpful! I've not ever used it but there is paxbaby.com. I know ladies who LOVE the site and others who hate it- but you never know!

DS is 12 months and 22 lbs, 28" and we front carry with the Ergo Performance. We love it! He's not a big fan of the back carry.
