Realistically 34lbs is going to feel heavy in most carriers. I would have recommended the ergo but I see thats what you already have.

Maybe once shes running around she'll change shape a bit and you might find it more confortable again.

My eldest was a complete bruiser, then he got moving and slimmed down. He never actually lost weight but he kept growing upwards and just never seemed to put on weight. As he got longer the ergo became more comfortable again

Isn't there a patapum toddler carrier for bigger babies? but might also mean older/longer as much as heavier suppose. Wow! Are the rucksac carriers better for heavy ones?


Dunno how you are managing...C is 25lb and it's killing me carrying him about. Am hopefully getting a hip seat to spread the load tmrw.


Edit to add - I had a mai tai and found it harder to fasten well enough and keep comfy once baby got bigger. Am not great at knots though...

Hi Minder,


I thinm the upper weight limit is usually around 40lb? To be honest, it's easier and more comfortable than lugging her around on my hip the whole time, and I tend to only wear her for short amounts of time (although could carry her on my back for longer if I needed to, no way could I handle front carry anymore though).

Ruth, we have a Beco Gemini for Baby Knomester. I've no idea how much he weighs now but I would guess at around the same as Lex or a few pounds more. At 23 months, I still carry him on my front in the Beco, but I find it hard work (party because I don't do it very often now, so out of practice, but also because of my by rubbish back). It's fine for up to an hour or so, but after that it gets too much. You can back carry with the Beco too, but I'm not coordinated enought to get him in it on my own! I like the look of bluesuperted's Manduka which E always looks very comfortable in.


They're all pretty pricey though and probably not THAT different to your Ergo?

Have you thought about getting a hip seat as well? It's brilliant for around the house or at play grounds, etc. You will need to hold the baby with one arm so only one hand free but so easy to wear the belt around the house all the time to pick them up when they want to be picked up. I use it with my nearly 3 year old as well as 6.5m old.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
