My back would hurt if I was carrying her with my arms. These carriers distribute the weight across your body. She's pretty weightless in this.
Kinderpack makes a toddler sized soft structured carrier that is pretty readily available..I have a couple of them. They are great!
Lefey, I use a ring sling occasionally with my 3 year old...but it's not a long term wear carrier for heavier kids. Great for quick in and outs...but if your wanting something to wear outside of that, invest in a woven wrap or a good toddler sized soft structured carrier like a Kinderpack.
Would a ring sling be a good investment for a toddler or no? My daughter is only 17 months but is 28 lbs and 33 inches. I'm thinking of getting one from Babyette off Etsy and she said an oversized one would work well for her. Do you agree or is there a better toddler carrier? I have the ergo but feel like she's a little cramped. Thanks! Cute pic!
Ashza....because she sometimes wants to be. Not very often but on occasion she wants some snuggles. I wear my 3 year old regularly..this was made for him. She was just a more willing participant for a photo OP.
Briana...mine are also pilfered from the husband ;)
Bazinga...no she doesn't. She's just easier to convince at home then the 3 year old is (plus this actually fits her REALLY well). He just runs from me unless we are at the store lol. Aga, Claudia and Justyna are AMAZEBALLS I love them. I'm going to get a slot for a half buckle wrap conversion.
Only if I use certain carriers Renee. It depends. There are carriers made specifically for older/heavier kids. This one for example is a 19x19, so the base where she sits is 19 inches and the body is 19 inches tall. As opposed to let's say an Ergo which is something like a 14x14ish
Does she stay in the carrier a lot. Like when ur cleaning and stuff is she fine hanging out? Just curious. I've been talking with the person who makes this, Madame goo goo to plan one for me. I just can't decide on the fabric bc it is kind of expensive and I want it to work for boys and girls for future children. She's amazing though, so nice and always responds to my emails.
She's more then a toddler lol she's almost 6 ;)
It's Star Trek with a uniform hood and communicator patch
What occasions do you wear her like this?
