Tried it on in a store with an SA and they did put it around my hips and adjusted it the same way for DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-507018 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:32:18 +0000 lemondrop 507018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'0" and cinch the Ergo around my hips- I love it! I can wear him for hours at a time without problems and he is 22 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-507012 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:22:04 +0000 T-Mom 507012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I think there is a website that lets you try on, and if you end up buying it there is no charge.. If you send back, there is some smallish charge. It I find the link I will post!</p> <p>Eta: <a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_91/Baby-Carrier-Rental.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_91/Baby-Carrier-Rental.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-507003 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:17:23 +0000 immabeetoo 507003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I might be investigating that! I feel less guilty since I didn't buy any but the ktan and moby and can resell both... Wish I could try it on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-507001 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:16:07 +0000 MusicaV 507001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS squirms a lot in the Ergo, so it's hard to tell if it's a height problem for me or a baby problem. DH has had more success with it than I have. I'm hoping that when DS calms down a little, I'll be able to wear him. Right now he hits me in the chin with his head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-507000 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:16:06 +0000 immabeetoo 507000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I was unclear- it's below my hip bones practically where the crotch of my jeans is. @hilsy85: I wish! No baby carriers locally :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506993 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:11:46 +0000 littlecasita1122 506993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear my Ergo around my hips...it's more comfortable for my back that way. I thought that's how they were supposed to be worn? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506982 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:03:56 +0000 Weagle 506982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm average torsoed, but I put the waistband around my hips with both my Ergo and Beco. It's much more comfortable for me that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506228 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:42:13 +0000 Alivoo01 506228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know since I'm debating between the Ergo and the Beco. I have a short torso also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506184 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:31:57 +0000 T-Mom 506184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if you are in the market for a new carrier since it sounds like you have a few already, but the Beco Gemini is definitely better for shorter torsos than the Ergo. I have a Beco and am long torso'd and find that I prefer the Ergo. But Ergo is definitely a better choice for dads. Hope you get it straightened out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506174 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:29:33 +0000 Rescuemom10 506174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an inch taller than you and also have a short torso and I tried my SIL Ergo and I just didnt like how it fit me at all.<br /> I have not had my LO yet and so far just have a moby, but was looking at the Beco also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506171 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:28:33 +0000 hilsy85 506171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the waistband is actually supposed to be around your hips--or at least that's where I put it and I have a longish torso. Do you have a baby boutique you could bring it to where they could show you how to properly position it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-with-petiteshort-torso#post-506166 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:25:58 +0000 immabeetoo 506166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were given a Snugli and Ergo carrier, which is awesome, but I don't have a manual, etc. After reading rave Ergo reviews on here I tried it on and even after adjusting, etc. The "waist"band is around my hips. I am 5'2 with a short torso- is this unavoidable??</p> <p>I want to babywear!! The K'tan I bought while pregnant was way too small with my BFing chest and I'm having fit problems with keeping the Boba soft carrier tight (waiting to hear back from the company). Moby wrap was tolerated briefly by LO but he wasn't in love.</p> <p>UGH! Am I doomed to not use the Ergo and just let DH try it out? Or is there a fix? </p>
