Choosing a carrier (i know this is a popular thread topic)

marsh1128 · September 2012

I am trying to decide between the Ergo, Beco Butterfly II and the Boba 3G. They all have great ratings but my concern is my height. I am only 5 foot tall and around a size 10. I tried to find a store that had these carriers where I could try and buy but I am having a hard time finding something in my area. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Im 5'5 and a little heavier and I like the Ergo (used a Moby for infant) and love it.

I'm 5'3 and pretty small framed. The body of the Boba is taller than the Ergo, but it still worked for me. I've tried all three you named and my Boba is my favorite.

I would try to see if you can find a way to try them on in person - buckle carriers can be fiddly to fit well, particularly for wearers who are outside the "average" in any way.

Are there any baby wearing groups in your area? There are also a few online stores that offer a rental option if you can't find anything locally.
