Best baby carrier for husband

marshmama · September 2012

So my husband would really like to wear our 13 week old baby boy who is a chunky 15 pounds. The problem DH has run into is that his love for beer shows in his somewhat large beer belly i say this lovingly as I have no better way to describe him.... So we have a beco Gemini and a ringsling. The Gemini doesn't seem to work at all on the front as LO is squished against his belly and not at all comfortable. Will we just have to wait a few months til LO can do a back carry?? He hasn't tried the ring sling yet, as I just learning myself and can't advise him on the best carry positions. Can anyone help? He is about 5'9". I don't want to encourage his babywearing enthusiasm. It don't know where to start!

Are you sure the fit is off? My DS is 8 weeks and 15 lbs and DH is 6ft and 270 lbs and the Gemini works for them. Maybe post a pic?

My guess is that he's wearing baby a bit low - I agree posting a pic could help us trouble shoot!

With the ring sling, an upright tummy to tummy position works great for all body types!

We have an Ergo Sport and DH loves it. Of course, my DH was a huge fan of the moby when DS was small and wore him all the time in it.

Sorry I have no advice but I just wanted to share that when I read your title I laughed I just suddenly got an image of you trying to put your husband in a carrier and thought

Well that can't be good for your back
