Carrier recommendation for someone who’s 5’1?

[sameasyoulastsawme]

Was thinking of the ergobaby 360 cuz it has good reviews, but not too sure if it would suit someone who’s short like me or if height matters much in this case?

What is a carrier that you would recommend for someone like me?

@sameasyoulastsawme I’m 5’0” and have had great success personally with the Tula Free to Grow and BeSafe Haven. Never tried the Ergobaby sadly!

@sameasyoulastsawme I’m 158 cm with a short torso and am enjoying the Ergobaby omni breeze! My husband is 6’2 and it works for him too.

@sameasyoulastsawme I have a LilleBaby AirFlow, and a woven wrap (base 5). I'm 5'. My husband is 5'7", but he's not had to wear the LilleBaby yet, though just by looking it appears it would fit him ok. The wrap would not be long enough for him.

As long as the carrier is sitting in the right place, most of them should work.

@sameasyoulastsawme I’m 5’2 and I have an original Ergo and a Tula. Both are fine, although with the Ergo the straps sometimes fell off my shoulders. But I still used it for years.

@sameasyoulastsawme I’m 5’0 and I love the ergo baby Omni breeze. Used it since my baby was 6 weeks old m.

@sameasyoulastsawme I'm 5'1" and the Happy Baby OG is perfect for me! I haven't tried the Ergobaby 360 but the Ergobaby Omni Breeze is too big/long for my height.

@sameasyoulastsawme I’m 5’2 and regularly use the ergo Omni 360 and I’m split on it. I get the best front carry fit when I cross the straps in the back, otherwise they’ll fall off my shoulders or I feel I have to tighten so much that LO loses the c-shape. Still figuring out back carry settings but it often has him a little too low for my liking.
I also have a Tula free to grow which feels a bit more appropriate for my frame. When LO was smaller (and lighter!) the Baby K’Tan was my go to!

@sameasyoulastsawme 5’2ish and a big fan of the Ergobaby Omni 360! I feel like the weight is well distributed- it does hurt my lower back after a while but I think that’s more that my kid is just heavy.
