DH baby wearing

KMSonnKMSonn member
in July 2013 Moms
My DH wants to be able to wear DD like I do with the k'tan. Trouble is, he has a very deep / barrel chest. I believe his coats are a 50 or 52, and he wears Xxl shirts. I know the k'tan is sized and I don't think the largest they have will fit him. Does anyone know of a carrier that would work for a big guy, or have experience with the largest sized k'tan? TIA!

    I don't have an andwer for you specifically but there are a couple of recent posts on the nurseries and baby gear board about carriers and one specifically about carriers for a larger woman and man

    Ahh thank you, I'll look there. I normally never venture from j13. :)

    How about the ergo? It's all adjustable and I think you can get extenders.

    I didn't know it had extenders... I'll look into this.

    I have an extra large ktan, and it barely fit me. I wear a size 18 dress because I have wide shoulders and big boobs (at least DD). I want to say it will not fit your husband. I got a beco gemini and wear it on one of the tightest settings, so I'm pretty sure that will definitely fit your hubby. You can also wear it in 4 positions!

    I never heard of a beco Gemini before. I'll check this out as well.

    Thanks everyone!

    You could try a carrier that ties (not sure if those would be too small or not). Or you could look on Etsy for a custom length carrier (wrap like the Moby or a mei tai) that would be long enough for him.

    DH is an Xxl or size 52 and the sport ergo with the waist extender fits him great!!! The sport version is cut bigger.

    Love love love the Beco Gemini for my husband. We can both wear it, and he is 6'5" and about 230. Although he uses it more than I so :) he likes to have our little guy nap in there while playing video games :p

    My husband loves the mei tai far more than any SSC, or wrap because its so easy to tie on.

    I was going to suggest a wrap like the Moby or Boba, as well. Lots of fabric, so it should fit you both!

    What about the Bjorn? I know they aren't popular here but we have the Miracle with Airy Mesh and it works great for both DH and me. He uses it most. It's really easy to use and adjustable.

    I second the Baby Björn Miracle carrier. We have one and the straps are very long. If you have a BuyBuyBaby or BRU nearby, you could probably go try one on.
