what age / weight do you stop baby wearing?

[~Saram~]

Both my bubs hit the 10kg mark around 10 mth and I found baby wearing in a one shoulder sling after that point hard. We got a rigid backpack with DS which was good but cumbersome. We have an Ergo with DD and I love it as it is easy to transport (scrunches up into a bag) and we can do a front carry when she's sleeping, hip carry or back carry.

She is currently 13kg and I don't even notice her weight and can easily carry her for 3-4hrs

thanks, I will have a look at the ergo. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I have a homemade meitai. You can front, hip and back carry, but i tend to only back carry now as she's so heavy. I still wear DD (27months, 14.5kg) pretty much daily (only use a buggy if i'm going for a run and then i use the babyjogger). On Saturday i carried my 4.5 year old step-niece (about 20-21kg i think) for over an hour and the only problems came from the fact that she constantly wanted me to run/jump lol.

If you PM me your email addy i can email you the meitai instructions.
