baby carriers for plus size parents?

Hello! Thanks for taking time to read this question! Your input is greatly appreciated! I am 31 weeks pregnant with my second child and i have become facinated by the concept of baby wearing. I have looked at several sling and pouch style baby carriers but most of them seem to be made for average size parents. If anyone has a good reccomendation for a baby carrier made for plus size parents or maybe a pattern to make one i would appreciate it! Thanks again!

This one is called the Active Spirit baby sling and it fits EVERYONE, go to the website and take a look at the photos section. There is a picture of every shape and size of parent! It’s wonderful, and you personalize the fabrics you want! Take a look and read about them! Congratulations!!!

    Perhaps you could find a seamtress that does custom sewing in your area. Maybe he/she could design one for you. Those slings couldn’t be that hard to make.

    I never had a problem with the Baby Bjorn (SP) and I was heavy when my son was born (175). Also, when they are bigger (I think over 20 pounds) the hip carriers are good too.

    look on ebay. I think that they have some that you can tell them what color and size you want.

    they make one like a back pack but for a baby. the straps go over you shoulders and the baby sits in the little pouch. it works well for plus size people

    The Maya wrap comes in small, medium, large and x-large. I use to have one, never used it, but gave it to my sister and she loves it! Uses it all the time.

    Congratiulations on your baby! Yeah!

    I have heard that the Baby Bjorn work well…a good place to start would be motherhood maternity, they have all sorts of resources.

    I’ve added a link to a website that gives you a pattern for differnt slings. Good luck!

    Just wait until you get further in your pregnancy. Believe me, I got pretty heavy at the end of the first pregnancy, (200) and by the time I got that baby out, I didn’t want to wear him anymore! I was glad to get the heavy strain off of my back.

    have a look at any baby store - there are these amterial wrap things (like what is commonly used in African contries, and they absoultley suit all sizes.
