Wearing 6 month old

Wally3

My DS2 is 6 months about 20lbs.  I have been wearing him in a boba stretchy wrap but it is starting to get uncomfortable and DS wants to be able to look about. I'm thinking about trying high back carry.  I have a boba 3g as well but I think it is too big still it really hurt my back to carry him.  I used it no problem with DS1 when he was a toddler. I'm thinking a mei tai or woven - but a woven scares me.  I have no idea what brands are better or worst than others. I live in Florida so it is hot and getting hotter.  Babywearing is not very popular here so it is hard for me to get much selection in a store.  Thanks for all your help.

I have some info in my siggy link that might get you started.  At 20 pounds, most of the mass market mei tais will be getting close to being outgrown on knee to knee coverage.  The Kozy MT would be an option still though.  And there's a

I like my mei tai. I never got into wraps, but people who like them tend to LOVE them. If you like the stretchy wr

A linen or linen/cotton blend wrap will be breathable and supportive.
