PeterPan Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ds is 19 months, pretty average in size, but he's just plain heavy in a sling. Any other carriers you recommend for when we're out walking a lot and can't use a stroller? Would a backpack thing be good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I still carry around my almost-3-yo in a Mei Tai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I still use my Ergo for my 4 yo dd. She's tiny, but my sister uses it for her 35 pound 4 yo too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemongoose Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ergo all the way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarao Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I loved my Ergo and they really are worth the price! I know you can get one use, but if you can afford it I'd get a new one because you can use them for so long. A backpack is nice to have too though. We used both depending on what was going on. My dh didn't like using the Ergo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktog29 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 MT...a toddlerhawk from http://www.babyhawk.com is our go-to toddler carrier. I had an ergo and while it was comfortable, the body on it was too short for my tall boys...when they fell asleep, they felt like they were falling out. The body just seemed really short to me (if I remember right, it came to below their armpits) compared to other carriers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Can you wear the Ergo carries on your back? I just can't picture carrying a 3 year old on my front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Y'all are awesome! I didn't even know about this one, and it looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 If he's a long little guy, take a look at the Beco too. I loved the Ergo... until around 20 months, give or take, when ds started arching his back. ugh! We bought a Beco and it's lovely. YOu can still find used non-Butterfly ones around, too, iirc.

PentecostalMom Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ergo all the way! I kept my 3yo dd in it until she met the weight limit. I carried her on my back and they have lots of wonderful accessories! Well worth the price, and they resale very easily. I could put her on my back with no help. It is fabulous! I will get a new one for my new dd at about a year. Until then, she is in a Bjorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
