Anyone heard of the KokoPax carrier?

I'm looking to buy another carrier once my son is a bit heavier (I feel like my ring sling is already getting too heavy and he's 14lbs).  I saw someone wearing this KoKoPax, and was wondering if anyone has used it, or can recommend something else like it they have used?

 I really like the ease of use.   I was originally intending on going boba or ergo, but I had a very hard time putting it on because a) i'm plus sized and b) I have very large breasts.  While the breasts wont come in to play with this one because it's not a front carry, it did with the ergo.  It seemed way to hard to load a baby into any of the softer structured carriers without help.

 This one has a kickstand so you can put the baby inside snap them in and then put it on, which seems like it would make things a heck of a lot easier.

 

 Any reviews/opinions/other recommendations very welcomed!

How old is your baby? I glanced over the specs on the kokopax website, and it says for use for children 6 months +. For a back carry like that, you need to ensure that baby is holding his head up by himself consistently. Until then, a front-carry is recommended. It looks like a really neat carrier, though, and I may get one for FI when LO is old enough to use it!

Tula baby carriers are great for plus sized parents. Also check out Onya.

Also Kanga is good for plus sized. Kangas are also great for the super petite, but you would need petite strapsif small.

Thumbs down.  Doesn't offer a good seat for baby and is awkward for you.  If you want a buckle carrier, the Kinderpack and Tula are good options with plus size shoulder straps available. Wraps and mei tais are also good options that work for wearers of all shapes and sizes!
