We?ve used the Ergo daily and my 21 month old daughter seems to be growing out of it slightly. I realise you can use them for older toddlers, and although she?s on the light side, she?s not short either and the edges aren?t meeting the crook of her knee, so it?s not as comfortable as it once was. It?s also quite a short carrier and something longer might be good. She has also said she's squashed, even with me loosening it.
Are there any soft structured carriers that are taller and wider? Would a mei tai fit the bill? Maybe a Toddlerhawk?
I can use a Girasol thick woven (like a Didymos) because you can wrap it so it meets the crook of the knee, and have also got a Calin Bleu gauze but my husband (who looks after her three days a week) doesn?t like using a wrap. Plus I think it's harder to wrap on a triangular man's body shape as the knot rides up.
She naps in it every day and I back carry her in it when I can?t dawdle about on public transport.
It seems pointless to buy a pram at this stage. Husband will not countenance a stroller, he absolutely loathes them.
