Carrier for an 11kg bub?

[Arimeh]

I second the Ergo. The straps aren't narrow at all - in fact, they are quite wide, and very well padded.

I can't feel it at all on my shoulders when I carry the kids in it, cos like Trish said, its all around your waist.

If your DH is tall though (difficult to tell from pics) then you'd be better going for the Ergo Sport though - cos thats made for taller people (ie my DH can't fit into my normal ergo so I have to sell it on ebay or something and buy the sport - he wants to carry around his little princess!)

Bummer Marlene, I only thought about it this morning! I'll definitely take oyu up on the offer to try it

Mel Aaron is 6ft but he doesn't intend on using it

My hubby is 6ft and wears our dd on his back in the ergo all the time. I also use it a bit but prefer my mai tai I have.

Great thread!! I've been thinking about which one would be good for a heavy bubba.
I'm not really up with what's good and what's not slingwise either so I feel a little lost.

I tend to like to wear him on the front, just so I can see him I guess. Lol.
Also, I think I'm liking the idea of having him on my hip, if you get what I mean.. What brands are good with that, and would get long lasting use?

I'm really sorry to crash your thread.
xox

haha - Sarah I meant like really tall - like 6 foot 7

Tenny - ergo's can wear at the front, hip and back carry - I cannot recommend it enough - I love mine *insert excited girly squeal*

Sorry - probably too much excitement in that post - had a few cokes tonight - bit hyped

Lol Mel. They look comfy alright.

I just have to convince DP to let me get another carrier. He seems against anything I want to get these days. He won't even let me get some baby legs.
He thinks things a complete waste of money, so I've gotta keep working on him and try and find something that's not all that much $$$. Wish me luck!

my 'little' man is 12.8 kgs (weighed him today ) and I have an ergo. As the others have said the straps are nice and wide. I mostly wear him on my back as he can see better. In saying that I haven't tried any other carriers so I would definitely try it out next time you catch up with Marlene.
