I'm currently using a Close carrier with dd but as she's getting bigger, I don't think it will last us much longer.

DD is 9 months old and long in the back (hence I've already discounted the ergo). I am 5ft 6 and a size 8 so need something that will adjust fairly small on me.

I'd like a SSC that will last us for at least a year, preferably longer. Does anyone have experience of which out of the connecta, rose and rebellion or pikkolo might be best for a long baby or have any other recommendations?

(NB, I think the manduca might be even better, but I want something pretty...)

Thanks

I have a Babyhawk oh snap I tried both a Connecta and Rose and Rebellion but the oh Snap was much more padded and adjusts down in size really well - DH is 6.ft4 and bulky and he can carry DD2 10mo or DD1 2.7yrs in it and my friend who is a size 6 borrowed it for her LO and she wore it comfortably too. Most places will order in the colour choices you want but do shop around as I found the one I loved online without having to special order.

Thanks Blueberry. Is the Oh Snap longer in the back than the Connecta and the R&R then?

Yes it is my 10mo can't see over the top yet in the facing me/on my back positions. Not that she is fussed, she instantly goes to sleep in it.
