wrap/carrier for 18m old

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
We're going to be going to the state fair and renaissance fest soon.  We'll bring along the stroller too, but there will be times when my older one will need to rest or my 18mo will prefer to be carried then in the stroller, yet I don't want to actually carry him for too long.  He's not too big for his age, only 24-25lbs maybe.  Does anyone have a suggestion of a good carrier for this age?  Ideally something that folds up small like a moby (which I never tried, can it be used for toddlers?)?  TIA

    According ro moby, it can be used to 35 lbs. There is a store near me that rents carriers for $7/ week. Might be worth seeing if there is something like that near you since it sounds like you're not planning to use it a lot . I haven't used my moby in months. Have fun at the fair!

    Thanks to both of you.  I'm looking through that BabyWearer site now. 

    Regarding renting a carrier, what types of stores do that?Which one by you Mrs Day?

    A ring sling would work. You could just do a regular hip carry.

    Don't get the Moby unless you want a sore back.  I would get an Ergo, the weight is placed on your hips and not on your back and shoulders.

    I forgot I have this one:

    Seven Slings

    I bought it as a gift when it was free plus shipping.  Anyone use and like this one?  I think it's worth pulling out and trying.  But I bet there are better ones out there.

    Thanks for the suggestion!  I have never used either, only the Bjorn, which won't work for a toddler.  I'll look into the Ergo.  We plan to have another one, so it'd be used again and would justify the expense.

    I still use my Ergo for my son who is 29lbs and it works perfectly.

    Ergo's are great we use our's everyday and DD is just shy of 25lbs.  The Ergo Sport is the one we have which is great for hot days since it's a lighter weight material than the standard canvas style regular Ergos.

    Also as the a pp mentioned check out a ring sling.  They are good for quick in's and outs but they do put all the weight on one shoulder so they arent great for all day use, an hour here and there with a todder they are great for though.  Sleep Baby Productions makes some great ones that you can often find used on The Babywearer.

    That one should work fine. I have something similar and it's helps take some of her weight off of my arms.

    If we have a baby #2, we'll be getting an Ergo for sure! :)
