DS is 18 months and 31 lbs and still lets me wear him in the Ergo, even though he gets pretty antsy at times. The weight limit for the Ergo is 45 lbs, but it seems unlikely I'll be physically able to wear him when he's that big! At what weight did you stop wearing your LO?
-
19m 29lb and regularly wear him in the toddler Tula. Boba/ergo was too ouchy once he hit 25lbs. Don't plan on stopping anytime soon!
-
When my hip hurt every time I wore him which was around the 30lb mark or 2 years. Plus, he wasn't liking as much then anyway.
-
I have been wearing LO every night for a walk lately and we both love it! It really connects us and mellows her out. She is 13 months and I plan to keep wearing her as long as I can.
-
She's 25 months and 24lbs and I still wear her often!
-
Right around 11 months. He really started to hate it and fought me constantly, so we stopped. I missed it for a bit, but he certainly didn't.
-
@erwoo: I'm sorry your hip hurt. I'm going to definitely stop wearing him if I feel any pain, but so far, so good. It's also nearly impossible to wear DS when he isn't in the mood, so if he stops liking it, we'll have to quit.
@scg00387: Is the toddler tula more comfortable? I checked out their website; they have some really cool designs!
@yoursilverlining: At 25 months does your DD still enjoy being worn?
@greentea: I cherish that connection DS and I have when I wear him. I'm glad you two have been enjoying your walks!
-
@Katrocap: wayyyyyyy more comfortable! Well worth if. I actually wear him more now that he can run faster than me! Easier to keep track of him ha!
-
I'm about to wear her in her Tula toddler carrier. She is 2y3m and 27lbs. Sometimes she doesn't like it and sometimes she loves it. Today she seems to love the idea and it will make my life easier since we have to take more than one train.
I think I'll be able to wear her for a long time, this carrier is super comfortable in a back carry for LO. Sometimes I'm afraid I'm going to bump her into things because I'll forget she's there.
-
I wore Ellie yesterday at the zoo for about 20 minutes-- she is 7.5 years old and 55 pounds.
She likes it more than Lorelei sometimes. It's a goooood workout for me! I'll have to get some pictures next time.
-
@Katrocap: Itsy Bitsy Bums was just having an awesome 20% off sale. Not sure if it's over or still going on. I contemplated snagging one to start a BW lending library for our area because they were so reasonable!
-
@Katrocap: she does enjoy it! She has a very cautious and snuggly personality, so she prefers when I hold her 24/7! When she gets tired or nervous she will ask for the wrap though / to go up in the wrap.
-
@Mrs. Twine: the toddler tula's are 10% off. Is that about the best deal available? I'm thinking that's what I'll need soon, I've got an ergo but he's 22lb and the back is getting too short.
@Katrocap: The sale is through the 25th. I'm debating one as well
-
13 months, 26 lbs, still gong! In fact, DH just put him to sleep for his nap in the carrier! Love that thing.
-
@jetsa: Bummer-- they were 20% off. It's cheaper than used ones go for on the swap, though, even with just the 10%. It's not a bad deal if you know you need/want one.
Maybe you could start a separate thread just to verify that no one else is seeing them around any cheaper?
-
@Mrs. Twine: darnit! Luckily our ergo is still good for the time being so I'll just keep an eye out
-
I wore my DD (21 months) in the ergo this past week for flying. It's definitely a lot harder!
-
still wearing my 18 month old at 26 lbs. looking into a toddler tula!
-
@jetsa: I looked foreverrr and waited and never saw below 10% - that 20% from IBB must've been a smokin deal. my local babywearing group mentioned being able to call tula directly and ask about seconds.
-
I regularly wear my 20 month old in the Ergo sport, beco gemini, or mei tai. He is about 22-23 pounds i think. When he hits the 25 pound mark, I plan to look into the toddler tula.
-
@scg00387: good to know, I'll start keeping an eye out now. The ergo is still comfortable but the back is getting a little short.
-
I wear my 20 month old at least twice daily. She loves it so much. She's only about 23lb though so it's not too difficult. I have no plans to stop anytime soon although I wouldn't mind getting her into a back carry. I do worry how much she'd pull my hair though
-
@travelgirl1: i sooo want to master the back carry. The couple of times i have tried it, it was so liberating! we should totally just have a back carry practice session.
-
@californiadreams: ha, yes we should! DH tried to put her in a back carry at the zoo last week and she went mental, because she wanted me to wear her instead. I've not really tried it with her.
-
@travelgirl1: I've only been able to do it when someone else has put him on my back for me. He wiggles so much when I've tried by myself.
-
@Katrocap: have you seen that you can rent a tula? It looks like a pretty decent deal $30 for 2 weeks with a $50 security deposit. http://www.tulababycarriers.com/collections/renttula
ETA: nvm they're all unavailable
She likes it more than Lorelei sometimes. It's a goooood workout for me! I'll have to get some pictures next time.
