Time for a new carrier - any suggestions?

weight is something crazyy like 25kg if you want to carry a child that big!

Ergo!!! and yep as far as I know up to 20kgs... It is ultra comfy and I still do front carries with DS who is about 10.5kgs and I am pregnant... I have to move him to the back soon... But it is the best.

If both of you are going to use it, you need something that will suit both of you - so either the ergo or a meitai would be perfect for you. Plus they both have versatility in that they can be worn in a front or back carry (meitai also on the hip - not sure if an ergo can be worn like that? prolly not I think) plus the ergo has a newborn insert, so you can use it now for Blue, but also when you have a new bub too.

Ergo can definitely do a hip carry.

just a thought - I use my hugabub for hip carry. my girls are pretty small for their age but they are 9kg so sounds like they are bigger than your DS at the moment.
I know you are only supposed to front carry with it but I have had a play around with mine and have found a really comfy hip carry. Worth a shot. Have a look at baby k'tan website and look at the video for hip carry - that is what inspired me to use my hugabub like that.
Have also heard good things about ergo. Was going out to get that when I bought my hugabub. the sales lady talked me out of the ergo. kind of wish I had got it now but never mind...

Dee - knowing how big your other half is - you might want to look into getting the sport ergo - I need the sport one cos DH can't wear the normal one (he's 6 foot 7) because the straps aren't long enough over the shoulders.

Plus its like, black, so very fashionable for men.. LOL

dee- we still carry lewis in the ergo now and you've seen the size of him. dh did the 1000 steps a few weeks back with lewis in the ergo on his back. it's fantastic, worth every dollar in my opinion.
