    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.

    Agree with the manduca recommendation!
