You might have to start with short stretches and work your way up time wise though.<br /> Plus, they hold their value better for eventual resale. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865422 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:05:56 +0000 lamariniere 1865422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! I didn't really start using the Ergo with DD until she was around 5-6 months. Before, I could never get the infant insert to work well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865092 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:17:26 +0000 artsyfartsy 1865092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not too late at all! I didn't get my ergo until T was 3 months. He has just now really started enjoying it at 7 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865089 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:15:58 +0000 teawithpaloma 1865089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! I actually think it's the age where we started to get our groove it and still works for us for naps on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865086 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:13:19 +0000 avivoca 1865086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! The Ergo was a lifesaver when I was walking the dog this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865079 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:09:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1865079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not too late. I found it harder to baby wear and walk the dog though, DD didn't tolerate me bending down to pick up after the dog and would be very vocal about it for a long time after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865077 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:06:50 +0000 Arden 1865077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all, go for it! We started wrapping at nine months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865044 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:38:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 1865044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started early, but I just wanted to chime in that it is SO much easier to walk the dog with the carrier than the stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865012 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:58:50 +0000 Boheme 1865012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since he's already 6 months old, you might look into a Tula. They have a higher weight/height limit than an Ergo, so you could use it longer. They tend to re-sell for close to retail price too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1865009 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:54:52 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1865009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864946 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:17:26 +0000 .twist. 1864946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Ditto! We didn't really start using it until he was about 7 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864932 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:09:47 +0000 blackbird 1864932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864928 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:07:07 +0000 birdofafeather 1864928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not too late! i still wear my 20 month old in a similar carrier! i'm looking to upgrade to a toddler size too. so much easier in many situations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864927 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:07:03 +0000 Beebug 1864927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! I think DD likes it more and more still since we started back carrying her 7/8m or so to now at 23m! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864921 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:04:27 +0000 Boheme 1864921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not too late at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864916 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:02:15 +0000 loveisstrange 1864916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didnt really start doing it more until C was 5-6 months. She HAAAATED it when she was tiny. She still doesnt mind it now at 2.5. We used an Ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-late-to-start-using-a-carrier#post-1864914 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:01:04 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1864914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babe is six months old today. I've been thinking about getting an Ergo. Is it too late? He's not a snugly boy but he likes most things and doesn't complain, so I think he'd like it. I think it would be easier to use when I walk the dogs then the stroller! </p> <p>Anyone else start carrying later? </p>
