Mei Tai vs. SSC

lindseywit

I only want to buy one more carrier. I am getting a woven wrap and want another carrier that would be more Daddy friendly, he is very against wrapping for himself, but I also plan to use this.  We are trying out an Ergo Performance right now but DS seems to hate it. I think it is because he can't see anything. He does love the Moby we have but he stretches it out quickly since he is pretty chunky.  He is 4 mo, old but has very good head control and can hold himself very well.  Please help me.

You might try folding a small blanket under his bum to give him a few inches of boost in the ergo - he is probably just on the short side for it yet and that may help with seeing.

I personally prefer mei tais over buckles - more adjustable for a better fit and you can do a high back carry (vs. a SSC which sits lower on the back and can't be used for a back carry until kiddo can sit).  Neither is better than the other though - just depends on what suits you (or your DH in this case!).  My siggy link has info on different types that might help you decide what would work best.

You really need to ask your DH rather than us. I like the mei tai more for younger babies and the Ergo more for older babies, but at the end of the day I never got DH to wear DS at all.
