Our baby is short (2nd percentile, 24") but almost 7mo. We want her facing out, but our current carrier seems too tall. Will this work better for her?

My daughter is 5mth old, and is ~24in tall. She's able to face front. The "bib" rests just under her chin. She'll be more comfortable at 25inches, but it's totally doable. For what it's worth, This is Fantastic. I'm a big dude, and can wear this just fine.

Hi, this carrier have a regulater, my baby have 2 months and it works very well for him.

Yes, I think she will be comfortable in the BabyBjorn. My son has been riding facing out since 3 months (I know, I know--but he HATED facing inward and insisted on being carried so I had little recourse). I think he's just hit 24" now and he's perfectly comfortable.

no- my older son was 22 months when our 2nd was born, we used this stroller for both of them for almost 2 yrs. My older son never had issues in the front seat with the infant carrier or when we switched our younger one to sit up in the 2nd seat.

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

That is a good question as I am 5'7". But I feel that it is low profile and would be easy for a petite woman to lean over to get little one out. I have to say it is much easier to get my son out of this crib than my other crib that was much taller. I would think this would be great for a petite mom. But I would also wait to see if someone gets back to you that is actually petite!

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

My 15 month old daughter, who is probably around 20-22 pounds, still fits in it. In fact I think she likes that she is getting bigger and can see around my shoulders now... when I wear her on my back. I am still glad I got the lillebaby carrier. (If we continue to use it, I'll get the stir-ups later for her legs/feet to rest in.)

I love my Boba but I never tried the Beco. I am 5'7", 140 and the Boba fits my frame well. What I like about the Boba is how easy it is to get on and off, I can put the baby in the carrier in about 10 secs. and be on my way.

I agree, I havent placed baby outward facing on the mei tai and I dont think it would work either.... I usually carry baby on my back.....

I am not sure what would work best for that particular brand, however I purchased mine for a Graco carrier. My daughter was a preemie and needed more support than her carrier provided. We have yet to try it out in a stroller since she's still too small.Side note: I would not recommend using this product in warm weather unless baby can move about freely. It's very warming!

No. Just inward. I believe Boba makes a side/hip carrier so that your baby has more of a view. I will say however that although your child cannot face outward, it does support your child's body appropriately and keeps her hips in proper alignment. My baby girl loved the boba and facing inward even at age 9 months.

No. I can get our Son, who is already growing out of his 2 year old clothes, easily in an out of this with no assistance. He will not ride in it facing me, so I don't know how hard or not it would be in that direction, but facing away is a cinch!

Most likely, no. If your baby is starting to sit up & pull up on things, I would be afraid that he or she would fall out of it. The cradle was ideal for my baby when he was first born until he started getting more mobile. Hope this helps.

Yes, this can work with any carrier. It snaps around the shoulder straps and baby's feet go into bottom. There are snaps on bottom to make the area smaller for younger babies and elastic on side for same purpose.

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....

my son is almost 18m and tall. i've done both front and hip carries with it. it is very comfy. we've only been using it for a bit over a month, and i love this thing. i prefer it to the ergo where comfort is concerned, and it won't dig into your neck on hip carries like the ergo straps do. someone else responded that their daughter outgrew the carrier at 7m, which is nuts. unless it was a type and she meant 27 or 37 months. my son still has plenty of room to grow in it.

I think it could be too big for you. I'm 5'5' and I tighten the straps almost as far as they can go in order for the baby to be high enough. They say the baby is supposed to be "kissing distance." It would depend on the size of the baby, too. My baby is 6 months.

The height and weight are correct for the baby carrier. However, I would always suggest that you ask your pediatrician if your child is ready. He has to be able to hold his head erect, wear a helmet, etc. Manufacturers rightly practice CYA in their recommendations, but each child is different. Enjoy!
