Plus Size Mama needs carrier advice

Bunnyluv0812 · September 2012

I am a plus size mama with a large chest and I need to know if any of you know which carrier would be best the Ergo or the Beco or if you have another one let me know. Thanks

I have the Ergo, but not an overly large chest. I did buy the extension belt (about $7) which was great. I really like it.

I am 5'11" and 195 lbs (38 DDD), and I use the Ergo with no issues. There is still room in waist and chest. I love my Ergo. A moby wrap is an inexpensive but wonderful investment as well.

I would try to find a babywearing group or retailer near you that has carriers you can try on to see what works best for you. Not sure how big/old your LO is but we have mamas in our group who are plus sized who have liked the Ergo (the Performance and Sport have longer waist straps I believe), Boba, and Babyhawk Oh Snap (we don't have Beco). Action Baby Carrier makes a plus size waist as another option (it's my favorite SSC out of all of these). A mei tai can be a nice option as well that works for all body types because you just tie it on so it's always a perfect fit!

the new beco has a HUGE waistband. I had one from a few years ago and i had the waistband as big as it would go. i got a new one and a gemini and the waistband is huge!!!

i probably have an extra 8 inches and it fit when i was 20 w pregnant.
