XL babycarriers??

[Party-of-five]

DH and i are on the larger side so we(mainly me) were wondering if slings/carriers come in different sizes and would they even be comfortable for us to wear??
id rather ask on here first rather than try a baby shop so any advice/ideas would be great thanks

I know you can get MeiTai's with extra long straps that larger folk can use, but I'm not exactly small myself and the regular straps (180cms long) suit me just fine with heaps left over. I don't know how adjustable/long the straps are on other carriers though sorry.

have stumbled across a wahm site who will make larger ring xlinds too. am ordering one this week

i have a larger sized kozy meitai snd have excess material on that too

peanut shell slings come in larger sizes too, and the ergos have extender straps.

Do you sew? You can make them to your own measurements.
PM me if you want to know the patterns.

I so hear you!!!

I had a cross over Oobi that was friggen awesome but alas tank got way to big for it and had to pass it on. I bought a hip carrier Mei Tai....Best thing slided bread...now Mateauz doenst hurt my fat...um I mean stomach ROFL. the straps are so long and wide to fit over the shoulder and love the buckle. I hate having to try and get my arms around my back for straps...to much of a hard thing.

I scored mine of Ebay to...you'll be surprised how cheap they are on there
