Around 13/14lbs I started switching between the solly and boba 3G (old style, not a wrap) because it started getting uncomfortable carrying the weight without the hip strap to disperse the weight. From 15lbs+ I've only used the structured carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488750 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 13:25:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2488750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is about 13 lbs and it's very comfortable and supportive still. I don't find it stretches out much yet. But I'm not sure if want to use it ten pounds from now. But, once babies are a little bigger I prefer my beco Gemini (at 12 weeks I've started going back and forth between the two). I do love that it fits in the diaper bag so much easier than any other carrier I've used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488680 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:31:37 +0000 CRGmama 2488680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no help with the weight concern, but I've been using mine for my newborn and so far I really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488649 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:13:04 +0000 birdofafeather 2488649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: the moby was a stretchy beast in a bad way. with the solly, i tie it overtight and then stuff baby in. it feels tight, but it keeps it really comfortable for longer term. if you do get it, i recommend putting it on before you go somewhere (if you're driving) then you can pop baby in.... BUT! if the sling is comfy for you, that's probably a lot easier and faster. my neck/shoulder gets jacked up if i have the sling on too long because of the distribution of weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488639 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:09:21 +0000 snowjewelz 2488639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I'm gonna try out the Boba which is up to 35lb on K who is probably 21 or 22... I'm 99% sure it's not gonna feel sturdy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488633 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 12:06:47 +0000 futuremama 2488633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys suck. I've been debating this purchase and just pulled the trigger because of the coupon code. </p> <p>I'm no help with your original question though :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488591 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:36:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2488591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Canoli: this thread is brought to you by that email. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488586 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:33:51 +0000 Canoli 2488586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I've been on the fence about whether I wanted to give it a try with baby #3 coming soon. But......I did order today because they have 15% (code is SPRING). Not that I am trying to enable you though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488561 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:21:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2488561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: I've read the shoulder straps are diggy..<br /> Probably going to stick with a linen ring sling.<br /> DH will be happy you guys didn't enable me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488556 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:20:36 +0000 ShootingStar 2488556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: If you like SSCs, I've heard good things about the Boba Air being really compact and packable, and would definitely be usable for longer than a stretchy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488555 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:19:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2488555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah Moby says 35 which is basically a lie. You CAN carry up to 35 pounds but it's uncomfortable AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488550 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:16:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2488550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I soooo want to order one! But I recently got a Boba for $20 at Target and saving that one for next baby... </p> <p>I too feel like it wouldn't be as supportive for over 20lbs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488547 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:13:28 +0000 ShootingStar 2488547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Solly says their wraps are good for up to 25 pounds/one year. No experience yet, though I did pre-order one today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solly-baby-mamas#post-2488542 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:12:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2488542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they stretch out with big babies like Moby?</p> <p>Baby sister is a tank (15 lbs at seven weeks) and I'm looking ahead to summer.<br /> I like how light Solly looks and how compact they fold up for my already over stuffed diaper bag. I'm worried that it'll be useless over 20 pounds. </p>
