    We love our Becco Gemini. It fits 5'1" me and 6'4" hubby comfortably and baby loves it!

    @Mrs.M57: At a meeting I was at last week, 3 moms were carrying bigger babies and one was carrying a toddler in a ring sling! Worked better for the less squirmy babies.
    @kjn: 5'1" to 6'4" wow.
    @Habesbabe: I can work with that. You want a sleeping hood or a nursing hood? We could start with a light fabric like muslin (nursing privacy) that had elastic loops. The loops would go around the snaps on the sides or around buttons you sew under the headrest (so it works with headrest up or down. Or you could use diaper safety pins (easy).

    At the top of the fabric square, you just need something to easily clip onto the shoulder straps, no? A button on each shoulder + elastic loops on top = easy.

    So... Let's say you buy a fabric quarter from the quilting section and use iron on hemming tape (in a pretty color). All you need is some elastic, and two buttons (or 4 if you unclip the headrest). Easy peasy.

    AND practically no-sew (just the buttons and the edge of the elastic.).

    If you don't want to use buttons you could use this fastener (cute) http://www.joann.com/rayon-braid-frog-closure-black-3-x1-3-4-/prd34733/

    We have a K'tan, a Moby and a Boba Carrier. We both use the Boba carrier the most. My husband loves it - and often uses it while he's grilling or even playing his guitar I use it when I go to the grocery store and walk around our neighborhood. We love the fact that our newborn fits in it without having to buy any extras, and we also love the little sun shade that comes with it.
    I'd highly recommend it!
