I don't want to quit, but my hips are screwed up and she's too heavy for a front carry and is not happy in a back carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1610460 Sat, 03 May 2014 07:06:36 +0000 Arden 1610460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see us stopping anytime soon. I imagine we'll still be wearing her through toddlerhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1610363 Sat, 03 May 2014 00:27:12 +0000 brownie 1610363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: I just got my tula toddler and still regularly wear my 3 year old (29 lb). It is so nice. I was even able to put him back on my front which he prefers.</p> <p>I must admit though he does a lot of walking. Almost all the way through ikea today and throughout dland. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1610315 Fri, 02 May 2014 23:36:32 +0000 pinkcupcake 1610315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She didn't want to be worn anymore once she turned one. So sad :( today I tried to put her in the ergo (she's 26 months) and she got really mad and just wanted to be carried instead :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1491725 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:24:40 +0000 MoonMoon 1491725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had stopped wearing LO for a while, other than short stints here and there, but then we found a MAGIC carrier that hits the sweet spot, he loves it as much as both DH and I do, even falls asleep in it often, and it makes his almost 25 pounds feel like nothing. Magic, I tell you! I'm imagining we'll use this carrier until he surpasses the weight limit (45 lbs) or LO stops wanting to be worn. He's 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1491690 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:14:36 +0000 birdofafeather 1491690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: i haven't, but i'm gonna try to find a place locally that sells them! i've seen a couple toddlers recently in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1491110 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:03:09 +0000 Alivoo01 1491110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C loved being carried as baby baby because he preferred being upright vs laying in his infant bucket seat. I also wore him when we traveled or went to places that weren't stroller friendly. </p> <p>I live in the suburbs and him being able to sit up on his own now makes grocery shopping easier, and I don't need to wear him anymore. It's been 3 months since I last wore him, and I kind of miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490646 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 07:45:47 +0000 Beyond2 1490646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Haha yes, back carry! People always look at me funny when they see it ;-) honestly though it makes pregnancy more comfortable because it evens out the weight distribution! (well for a little while anyways, it is a lot of weight combined). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490625 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 07:17:03 +0000 mediagirl 1490625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to ever stop wearing her. :-( We still do!! (21 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490615 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 06:57:43 +0000 pelikila 1490615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just before he turned 3 is when he wanted to walk most of the time himself so I stopped wearing C around that time. I use a Boba 3G. At his 3 year appointment he was 32 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490593 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 06:26:24 +0000 edelweiss 1490593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: wow, that's amazing! i'm assuming you have LO in the back carry position? i bet people do a double-take when they see you, supermom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490590 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 06:25:06 +0000 edelweiss 1490590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm still wearing LO in the ergo--he's almost 14 months old and about 22 pounds. i use it almost daily because it's the easiest way i can walk our 2 dogs with LO by myself. i also use it on the weekends close to dinnertime when his energy starts to run out but i need him to stay awake a bit longer. </p> <p>@birdofafeather: @rattles: @californiadreams: i've also thought about getting the tula toddler carrier! have you guys tried one? i think we're still okay in the ergo for now, but if we continue to baby wear for a while and the seat becomes too narrow for him, tula here i come! (i'm not advanced enough for a wrap) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490580 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 06:08:33 +0000 Running Elley 1490580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped around the 1 year mark for DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490565 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:22:51 +0000 SAHM0811 1490565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD 1 we stopped a few months after she turned 1 yo. Can't remember exactly anymore!</p> <p>DD2, we did stop around 15-18 months, but then started up again all the way til she was around 2 years, 3 months! I only stopped because I was 16 weeks pg at the time, so my belly was starting to pop and she didn't like back carries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490562 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 04:53:48 +0000 Beyond2 1490562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 18 months and I still put him in the ergo, even at 33 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490554 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 02:45:06 +0000 loveisstrange 1490554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C will be 2 in 3 weeks and I just wore her in our Ergo last weekend.

I would still wear him though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490408 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 21:54:44 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1490408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly stopped around the time he could sit in a shopping cart...prob around 10 or 11<br /> Months. It's still out and I think there might come a time one day...but he prefers to be on his own unless he's really sleepy or upset. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-carrier#post-1490404 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 21:51:15 +0000 birdofafeather 1490404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still wear her in the boba.
