not really Eff but ?? on baby wearing

My Hubby really wants to carry the baby around in a carrier of some sort. All the ones he likes do not fit him. He is around 6 2" and about 325. Any suggestions. We can't seem to fine anything. Thanks.

I've heard the Ergo Sport is has a strap extension for bigger users, but I don't know specifics.

DH uses the Piccolo - he's about 6 feet and it works for him. I'd check the sizing to make sure. It's a lot like the Ergo, but lets you face baby out when carrying in front.

I second the Ergo with the strap extension. Very comfy.

Thanks we will have to check it out.

Another vote for a Soft Structured carried with a strap extension:) I am *thisclose* to needing it around my waist and it's supposed to give a ton of extra possibility. If you can go somewhere and try it on that might be really helpful, too. Wraps come in longer lengths, but if he's so tall it still might not even be enough for him. Maybe you can handmake a wrap for him that's extra extra long so that it's his own special carrier??

I made myself a Moby-style wrap. At 5'6" and 170#, 5 yards of fabric cut in half the long way works well. You could just make it longer and it would fit fine. It's a lot of fabric, so that might be intimidating when learning to put it on.

A mei tai (like the baby hawk) with extra long straps would work - they come in dad friendly prints as well.
