I would say I carry her about 75% of the time when we are out? She hates the stroller and hasn't agreed to be carried in the Ergo since she turned 1.5, so for long outings, we have no choice... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry/page/2#post-1975039 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 09:55:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1975039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: yup!

Just in the past couple weeks I get tired of carrying her long distances or have to switch hips. She is a really solid, compact kid though so I think that adds to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1974468 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 16:41:55 +0000 blackbird 1974468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 months and about 26 lbs and getting kinda uncomfortable since I'm pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1974467 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 16:36:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1974467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: lo1 is 4.5 years old and 28 lbs.

He's getting heavy to carry around. He mostly walks everywhere though, unless papa or halbeh are around ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1973956 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 22:05:41 +0000 photojane 1973956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess that Sadie is around 25lbs at 22 months. Still carry her pretty frequently. She's tall and her weight is evenly distributed, so I find it pretty easy to carry her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1973950 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 22:01:28 +0000 MamaChin 1973950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and 31 pounds, he doesn't get carried a lot since he thinks he is a grown man now. I can probably do no more than a few blocks with him. DD is 8.5 months and almost 22 pounds, carrying her is a breeze since her brother was big too so I'm used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1973895 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 21:02:23 +0000 808love 1973895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is tiny. Almost 4 and 27 lbs. we can still carry her but I am sad that she will outgrow us soon. She is eating a ton today and recently grew 2 inches so I am expecting long and lanky. She is all arms and legs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1973293 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 00:55:23 +0000 QBbride 1973293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 18 months and 22 lbs. he loves being picked up and carried so I carry him a lot! I wear him a lot in my Tula too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1973290 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 00:52:10 +0000 FannyMae 1973290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 2.5 year old is about 20kg (44lbs) and is 105cm tall (41 inches) Both my husband and I are over 6 foot tall, so she's a big one too, about the size of a 4 year old at the moment. Its pretty hard to grapple her when I need to, and picking her up is definitely a strain on my back. that being said, she's been quite independent lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972933 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 17:37:22 +0000 mauxie 1972933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2 and 25 lbs. DS is 8 months and 19 lbs. It's easier to carry DD though because she is calm and will hold onto you. DS squirms around a lot so even though he is lighter, it's way more tiring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972707 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 15:01:24 +0000 PinkElephant 1972707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24.5 lbs at 2.5 years and 16 lbs at 6 months. I think the heavier one is easier to carry (when she wants to be) because she holds on. I can carry both (just over 40 lbs) at the same time when I really need to - ie to get the older one somewhere quickly or when everyone is really tired and we need to do stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972695 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:57:23 +0000 HLK208 1972695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 40 lbs at 5.5 and I still sometimes carry him up to bed. He doesn't feel heavy but his long legs get in the way of mine when I walk lol.</p> <p>DD is 31 lbs at 2.5 and she feels heavier than DS...maybe because she's shorter and leans on me when I hold her. </p> <p>DD2 is almost 13 lbs and she's obviously easy to carry but I do get tired if it's been a few hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972655 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:26:24 +0000 Mrs. J 1972655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is just under 23lbs at almost 13 months and wants up ALL THE TIME. I wear him when I can because making dinner is tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972641 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:17:29 +0000 Purpledaisy 1972641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's just under 20 pounds at 21 months so she's still pretty easy to carry. Which is good because she recently decided that she doesn't like the stroller or riding in shopping carts and prefers a combination of walking and being carried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972076 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 08:40:37 +0000 Bubbles 1972076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 25lbs and I struggle to carry him far, I'm such a weakling compared to lots of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-heavy-are-your-kids-and-are-they-getting-too-big-to-carry#post-1972008 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 06:55:26 +0000 PrincessBaby 1972008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just turned 2 and is around 30 lbs. I'm 5 months pregnant and not supposed to carry anything over 25 lbs, but my daughter totally does not care! She always wants me to hold her. Especially if I'm carrying tons of other things, like when going through an airport with luggage and carryons. Whenever I look my most weighed-down and my hands are the most full, that is usually when a temper tantrum to be held ensues and results in her laying on the floor screaming until I put everything down, pick her up, and then try to also carry all of the things I was already dealing with. At home, I'd let her scream her face off on the floor, not playing into that. But in an airport with people walking all around her - or the PARKING LOT to the airport with cars everywhere, I have to still pick her up just to get her Terrible Two self out of the way. Toddlers :bummed: </p>
