Just curious really as I'm about to sell ours. DS is now 15 months and we stopped using it when he was about 7/8 months. Can you really carry on much longer than that or do they just get too heavy?

Until 2.5years in an ergo then in a backpack carrier until around 3.5years.
I’m currently regularly carrying my 10 month old in a Boba carrier

About 3.5. Only really stopped with both DC once they stopped napping in the day so they didn't need to do so on my back occasionally.

Had a brilliant one that did from about 8 weeks to 3.5 years for two children.

Around 3 and a half for for both of them.

Never bothered with a pram or pushchair.

I still use my Connecta for my just turned 2 year old. She prefers to be in the back carrying position now and I don't find that as comfortable, but I generally just use it for short stints in shops etc.

We also have a proper Osprey hiking backpack which my husband uses to carry her in if we go on longer walks. It's too heavy for me to wear but the toddler loves it up there.
