Mei Tai vs. SSC

lindseywit · February 2013

I only want to buy one more carrier. I am getting a woven wrap and want another carrier that would be more Daddy friendly, he is very against wrapping for himself, but I also plan to use this. We are trying out an Ergo Performance right now but DS seems to hate it. I think it is because he can't see anything. He does love the Moby we have but he stretches it out quickly since he is pretty chunky. He is 4 mo, old but has very good head control and can hold himself very well. Please help me.

You might try folding a small blanket under his bum to give him a few inches of boost in the ergo - he is probably just on the short side for it yet and that may help with seeing.

I personally prefer mei tais over buckles - more adjustable for a better fit and you can do a high back carry (vs. a SSC which sits lower on the back and can't be used for a back carry until kiddo can sit). Neither is better than the other though - just depends on what suits you (or your DH in this case!). My siggy link has info on different types that might help you decide what would work best.
