Ring Carrier Baby
Baby carrier for short waisted Mama, long waisted baby?
My son is 9 months, about 22 pounds, and over 26 inches, with a long body (we have to wear 18 month footed pjs, and they're maybe 1 inch too long, on his feet. The body is almost too short)
I'm 5'3" with a short waist. Every carrier I've tried has made his top of the head and my chin hit each other, the back doesn't cross in the right spot, etc etc. He doesn't care for a Moby wrap anymore, and a ring sling with him on my hip doesn't work on my shoulders thanks to two car wrecks.
Any suggestions?? (I don't have a lot of money either!)
Have you ever tried a Mei Tai? I have used one with my daughter since she was 3 months(now 9 months). I carry her on my back and I'm 5'4", she's almost 22lbs and is 28 1/2 inches. Here's a couple patterns:
