I am a larger mom and am wondering if this will span around my hips? I had to buy an extender strap for our Ergo. Will this one fit me?

I'm about a size 14-16 post baby and it fits fine with plenty of room to spare. My husband is tall and stalky and he's able to wear it as well. He's about a 38 waist. I find it fits below the belly. Has a back support that's fabulous for support as well. Hope this helps :)

I measured belly part of carrier. It is 118cm with am extended part. I hope this is helpful. If you spend more you can buy stokke carrier. I think that one is more suitable for large person. You also try all carrier at store.

On the large splint, the strap reaches reaches about 18", but at least on me it doesn't hit on the widest part of my calf. My calf is 20" at the widest point and it juuust fits me.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!

Hello. The strap is a one size fits all. I am 5'9, 170 lbs and I had to shorten the strap so it fit correctly. One would have to unusally large or small for the standard strap not to be able to be adjusted to fit you. Also, Amazon is very cooperative regarding returns. If it does not, they will arrange for its return, although under some circumstances the buyer is responsible for return shipping.

I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long! She's so much taller than me, she can see over my shoulder when I use our BOBA. She loves being able to see! Like the other commenter Lisa mentioned, a bigger kid can have their arms up and over the shoulder straps and it works fine! I am sooooo happy I bought this devise. So much better than the Ergo. FYI. I bought it in the brown color and it is really dark at night when we stroll. I have attached reflector tape and those LED light up orbs that are sold for dog collars. Its made me feel safer walking in the dark. I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long!

Hi pastor, The groin hip brace comes with 1 size fits all. This brace wouldn't fit you due to the size it comes in. but I suggest to you, base on the price of this item, you can buy 2 and splice them to the length you will need in order for it to fit you. What i suggested to you will benefit you in the long run.

I am a 2X and the straps may be long enough but they dig in and irritate the skin. You'll either need to put something between your skin and the strap, or look for another brace. Works well except for the irritation.

No Way! The strap is way short and they won't eplace it with a longer one. I called an suggested that they send me a proper length strap and they said no.

I am 5'4" and have an ergo baby carrier. This is a great question to ask. The carrier fits my husband who is 5'8" much better than it fits me. At my height, it sits very low on the hips, which I like because it helps equally distribute baby weight over the entire back. This is the reason I bought the carrier. It does a fantastic job of distributing weight across mom or dad's body. I also find it very safe as I am very clumsy and worry about falling with baby. I would def try it out before investing the $$$. For me, I regret this purchase. 1. My baby is very hot natured and gets too hot being next to me. 2. The newborn insert makes the carrier way too bulky for me. 3. This is designed for average or thin adults. This is not designed for large busted women or overweight women. There is not enough room for all of mom and a baby too. 4. My baby is small and not yet able to completely straddle me, so he does not sit comfortably. At 7 months, I am getting a frame backpack carrier for general toting around. I had one with his brother and he loved it. Plus it solves all of the above issues. I knew better but I wanted the closeness the Ergo provided. Good luck!

In my opinion, the strap should be a little longer. I would prefer it to go down to closer to hip area.

No, strap is not adjustable. I am about 5'1 and the top of it is on my hip. When my dog is in it the bottom is lower on my leg. Like in the picture. I am thinking about getting it shortened. My dogs love it though.

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)

I haven't done a complete analysis other than the reason I chose the Ergo 360 over the Bjorn, was that the ergo keeps my daughter's bottom cradled in a natural frog position in her hips & thighs and doesn't cause the hip & thigh dangle that the Bjorn does. I was also told for boys in a Bjorn it would be the equivalent of straddling an arm of a couch for a long period of time with gravity & walking I can't see how that would be comfortable.

I have A 22 inch thigh at the top and I have to tighten it up. It is adjustable. I use the strap when I have a groin problem when doing an activity.

I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier. Also depending on how old your baby is it may be very big. Its a toddler sized carrier. I got ours when my son began to out grow the Ergo around 18mo. He's 2 yes and 32lbs now and I can carry him all day in it if needed. All that being said I do love our Moby Go but if your baby doesn't like the Ergo they probably won't like this either. I will also say though that sometimes being in a carrier (of any type) takes an adjustment period for baby. I would keep trying with what you have (for short times and when baby is happiest) or possibly try a ring sling. Hope this helps. I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier.

This doesn't fit around the waist. It's a sling...like a hammock...the patient sits on it & is supported/lifted with it. The item I ordered did not come with any straps so be careful and read the fine print when you order one if you do not already have straps.

Hi, it fits both my husband and I, I am 5'2 120lb., and my husband is 5'9 140 lb. my husband has a 30 inch waist, and the straps have plenty more room for adjustments, the waist straps are very long, the shoulder straps are long too. I hope this helps, I love this carrier, I still use it with my 3 1/2 year old. Love it! Great support for this type of carrier, sturdy material too.
