Looks like we'll be getting the Tula.</p> <p>@babypugs: I didn't mind the Britax when he was younger and facing in, but now that he's older and facing out, he dangles in a way that looks unnatural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392983 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 00:16:22 +0000 Arden 1392983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried a Tula but I've heard only good things! My DH uses the Ergo most of the time, but he'll use the wrap when it gets here too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392950 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 23:19:21 +0000 Boheme 1392950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tula, hands down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392904 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 22:18:07 +0000 rattles 1392904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote Tula. I love our Beco, but now that DD is older and heavier (20-22 lbs, 14 months), I do find it less comfortable. I don't NEED the Tula, but I think it might be better in your situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392895 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 22:07:05 +0000 babypugs 1392895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about the Britax? I was eying that one and don't want to get it if it's bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392889 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 22:00:46 +0000 Ra 1392889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I third the Tula! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392877 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:49:05 +0000 mrsbookworm 1392877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just got the OK from DH to order a new carrier and get rid of the Britax. It sounds like we should go with the Tula or the Beco. He's 5'9" but a little hefty and I'm 5'5" and also a little on the chunky side :wink: Neither of us is in plus-size territory but we're close enough.</p> <p>Do you think one would be better than the other? I was looking at the chart that @mrsbird referenced and it looks like the Boba could be a good option too. </p> <p>I'm hoping this will be the last carrier I buy for a while. It will be the 4th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392864 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:36:28 +0000 mrsjyw 1392864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is 6*1 210 and uses our beco! (More than I do!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392862 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:35:32 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1392862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree about the Tula. They are really comfortable for both the kid and the adult, and there are lots of neutral options that anyone would feel comfortable using. And they are a great option for people who prefer a buckle carrier and aren't into the aesthetics of wraps or don't want to mess with the higher learning curve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392831 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:18:25 +0000 betsyboop 1392831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is 6' with broad shoulders and had no problems with our beco gemini. But we stopped baby wearing when LO was around 1 year old and I'm not sure whether the beco can be used with older babies/toddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392821 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:11:02 +0000 mrsbookworm 1392821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all your help!<br /> @weagle: The Tula looks great! Maybe we'll look into getting the toddler one if he continues to enjoy being worn.</p> <p>@scg00387: I had no idea they made extenders! That's a great option!</p> <p>@mrsbird: Awesome chart! I wish I had known about that before I bought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392809 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:03:32 +0000 mrs. bird 1392809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this page has a great comparison of different carriers and includes waist sizes. :) <a href="http://theportablebaby.com/carrierfeatures.html" rel="nofollow">http://theportablebaby.com/carrierfeatures.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392806 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:02:26 +0000 immabeetoo 1392806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: they have an ergo waist extender! I'd get one of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392800 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:58:40 +0000 Weagle 1392800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tula! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-for-dads#post-1392795 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 20:55:52 +0000 mrsbookworm 1392795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH likes to wear LO in a Britax carrier that I'm not fond of. I use the Ergo, but DH is a little hefty and the waist strap doesn't fit him. LO is 9 months and about 20lbs. Is there a carrier that you could recommend that would fit a bigger guy? He does not want to wear a wrap :happy: </p>
