DD has outgrown her other carriers so I am trying to decide between the Boba or Ergo for the back carry. Share your experiences/thoughts, please!

Thanks!!

    I use my ergo for my 13 month old every day! He is comfortable in it and loves it! It takes practice to do the back carry but then it's pretty easy!

    Boba!  They're awesome, and the foot straps are great for toddlers.

    I would recommend going to a store where you can try on both with your LO.  We have the Ergo, and it worked well for us, but everyone has their own preferences.

    Neither. Boba won't give you knee to knee coverage for very long, Ergo won't be high enough nor give you knee to knee coverage for probably more than a few months. 

    Kinderpacks are awesome for  toddlers. The standard size should fit your DD now & even possibly your DS. Ari is 35-35" tall & we just bought the toddler size. He has tons of growing room & we could've gotten away with a standard.

    Her website is here:

    https://www.kindercarry.bigcartel.com

    She has several in stock right now & restocks every week or two. She usually posts on her FB page before stocking. You could probably snatch up a used one on TBW FSOT too.

    I've always heard good things about Ergo.

    I LOVE MY ERGO! My 25 month old is around 30 lbs and very comfortable in it.

    I have never tried the Boba though.
