    I don't think your husband will fit into any of those sling things.

    The manduca is the best carrier for all shapes and sizes. You don't need any newborn inserts it's all built in. Highly recommend!!!

    Have a look at the bigger carriers - kinderpack, bamberoo etc Can you go to a local babywearing meet and try some? If you're in brisbane you can try my bamberoo

    I find different carriers work in the first 6 months, to those that work for a bigger baby.

    the close carrier was good for dh and I for a small baby, it is kinda like hug a bub, but you don't have to wrap it.

    We loved the close carrier for those first few months too.

    A mei tai is a great option, or a half buckle. Much more adjustable. Check out Kleinsmekker, baby hawk, angel pack, Melkaj (my favourite)

    Mei tai would be my suggestion. For the both of you. Half way between a wrap and full buckle (has the structured body but you tie it, so suits all sizes as long as the straps are long enough).

    currently using a beco soleil and it is pretty fabulous. i am not a tall person though, but it does have way more strap room than the ergo that i have.
