LargeFrame ok? We are setting up our registry now, and my husband is very barrel-chested. We are both over 6 foot and large framed, and wonder if this carrier will let out enough to fit us, especially him, close to 300 lbs. Any large parents out there with some feedback? LargeFrame ok?

I have an organic ergo and have to use a waist extender. I am an XL woman. It fits very comfortable, but you do get a little pudge/muffin top effect over the wasteband, if I'm being honest. It's not the most flattering thing in the world if you have any excess in the middle area. My husband is not able to use the ergo carrier, even with the extender, because it's way too tight around the waste. He prefers the baby bjorn for younger baby because it has no waste strap. Good luck to you.

You can purchase a waist extender for about $10. You can use more then one together if needed. I am a very large gal and find that the regular belt is a very tight fit but with the waist extender it fits much more comfortably...

Ergo has a very small waist band compared to other similar carriers. The waist extends to 43 inches (51 with the extender that you can purchase). The Beco Butterfly Beco Gemini and Boba 3G both extend to 57 inches. The Pikkolo extends to 54. The Pattapum to 55. The Action Baby Carrier to 53. The Anglepack to 50. The Babyhawk Oh Snap to 66. The Olives and Applesauce to 60. Check out thebabywearer.com for tons of helpful information on babywearing and different carriers (there are tons of great carriers out there, way more than what you see in stores or even on Amazon).

My husband is 5'11" and 220lbs and he cannot fit the Ergo around his waist :(

I had to trade in the regular ergo for something with a larger waste strap. The Ergo Performance has about 5" longer strap than the regular one. Go to a store and try them on to see if they're comfortable. Ergo is a big investment but well worth it if it fits right. They also offer a waste strap extension but I feel it should be comfortable as is.

Hello - I too was concerned about the wide gap when I purchased the frame. I have a 14 inch NovaFoam mattress and have checked it a few times and so far, it has not gone down between the support bars. I was tempted to put a thin sheet of plywood over the frame just in case, but so far, so good. The Nova foam mattress is very dense, so if your foam mattress has some give to it, I would put down the piece of wood - at least at the top 2/3 of the bed where most of the weight is. The frame itself is quite strong and I am happy with it, except for the stupid design of the adjustable platform - that definitely requires 2 people to adjust. Hope this helps...

260lbs is recommended but we have had people who are 300+lbs and have had no issues.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

Chest size is up to 52". I am 6'4" 325lb and it fits me. I question if the 24 gram Co2 is enough to hold me up. There is also 30 & 38 gram out there so I assume that is more bouyant. Anybody know about this?

Oh yes - we have a "big" one too! it is very study...we(they) love it so far - our big guy even gets himself on the top and curls up to fit on the top platform - if I had to fix something it would be to make to two top platforms bigger - but like i said he fits himself up there no problem. He may be big and fat but he can get himself into small places! Good luck!

I typically ride a 62, but this bike maxed at 58 if I remember. Riding a smallerish frame has worked out just fine so far. However given the option if rather ride a bike a little bigger for me than small.

Dave - how fat are you? I have a fat friend and he fits in it quite nicely. Snug. I think he's about 5'11" and weighs around 280lbs. Much more than that and you might need to upgrade! Good luck. Rich

I looked at the tags on the chair, and it says not recommended for over 225 lbs. I sit in it and I weigh about 115 lbs. My grandson who is 7 and 60 lbs, loves it, and it is comfy... I think it would be a good comfy chair for your husband.

My oldest is 7yrs and approx 60lbs. It's fine for him now, but another 15-20lbs and I may start to be mindful.

This carrier is for DOLLS, not for living babies. It fits 15-18 inch dolls only and although it is designed very similarly to the mommy size one for a real baby it is not authorized or safe for living babies, it is only designed for toys. As for the weight limit of the child WEARING the doll carrier, we have one and my daughter began using at at her 3rd birthday and still wears her dolls in this carrier and has just turned 6. If waist measurement is an issue, I would say that it is pretty expandable and that given its straps and buckles a pretty hefty child could still wear this to carry their doll. The Ergo Baby carriers for baby that a mom would wear usually cost $100 or more. Hope this helps! This carrier is for DOLLS, not for living babies.

The chest is perfect but I've got a barrel chest... However the gut area seems to be huge... I'm 5'9" 210 and had to return my XL for an L. It still feels like i can fit a small midget in there, makes putting gear in the pockets or a vest underneath very comfortable.

My son is 3 and he fits just fine. He was 31lbs and 37 1/2 inches at his checkup a couple months ago. I think if you think he will like it, it should be fine. Kids will squeeze into whatever makes them happy!

Our girl is a 6 yr old 122 lb flat coated retriever. We got the XL and it fits well, with plenty of room for adjustment. I guess we could have gone to a lg but then it may have been too snug in the chest. Ck the listing I thought there was a size/measurement chart.

my son is 41 inches tall and 32 pounds. obviously very slender and yes i feed him LOL - wish i had his metabolism... anyway, i ordered him the small and it fits well, tho is a bit roomy - i;d say he could still wear it if he was up to 43 inches or so - my GUESS is you would be fine with a medium as your son sounds slender, as well... i know if you google rubies size chart you can pull up their specs and make a better informed decision. a couple things to note - mine came with a pull/run in it - kind of flimsy, but it's for halloween, so it;s not like it s supposed to get a lot of wear. the other is the headpiece (attached to the cowl) is strange looking and not well fitting, i am removing mine and using a mask that goes on like glasses that we got in a happy meal! the mask looks way better and will be safer b/c it fits properly and eye holes are wide - i/, afraid if i use the costume mask he won't see properly. hope this helps! my husband and i are going as catwoman and bane, so if you have any questions on those sizes, let me know

Not a bit, this thing is solid! I have even slept with the kids and I am 230+. So it is a stout frame.But I will warn you it is big. I did not realize it would take up so much more room, than just the old double bed.
