How big is this for the parent? I'm a big girl 250 when I found out I was pregnant. Is this going to fit around my waist comfortably too?

Hi Melissa, not a big fan altogether but I think best thing to do is to stop by a store and try it. Congrats on your baby!

There seems to be a lot of room to adjust the waist strap and would probably be okay. I've seen these at Babies R Us and Target but purchased mine from Amazon. You could look at the carrier in the store and try it on and then order from Amazon.

i think it would still be fine. i am a 6'1" woman and wear an xl often before being pregnant and then gained 60 lbs. i was wearing the bjorn soon after my munchkin was born. the carrier has adjustable straps. on a side note i am now using the ergo sport much more. it is for tall and bigger frames and works well :)

i recently purchased a large --I am a 36 waist ---fits good ---it is a good back brace ---good support -but flexible enough to wear during a workout or playing golf -----good luck

I purchased this and my waist is about 31" also...there's no issue with it fitting me. the Velcro can cling to the entire back surface so there really isn't a minimum waist circumference limit...depending on how tight I wrap it, it overlaps itself by quite a bit, but this is by design I believe. it does offer back support...I notice it when I'm on an excercise bike...I don't slouch as much. I think it is primarily designed to create a heat seal that reduces water weight around the abdomen, I'd describe "back support" as secondary benefit. but I do notice it helps for that.

You should wear this as soon as u have your baby..uncomfortable a bit but worth it.

Hi there congrats on new baby!!! My baby was born a month earlier and her we has to work on her weight due to her early birth but I put her in the cangaroo bag when she was a month and a half . I had a cheaper one but it didn't offered a solid back support but this one is perfect. I am not going to lie I have tries several and they are all kinda complicated to put on and then of but I like this one. Hope I could help :)

I'm 5'5" and a size 16/18 and it fits me well. I know there is a belt extender you can get. My husband is bigger than me and he was able to wear it w/o the belt extender. Although he only tried it once and we didn't really get it on him exactly right. He wore the belt under his tummy if that makes sense. If anything you could probably get the belt extender and be fine.

Ha! Been there. Get a small. I'm around the same size. Congrats on the baby!

It is adjustable in three ways however you would probably have to order the large size to be comfortable. I ordered the size up to 50 waist and I wear a size 36 waist with a gut and I am right at the point where if I gain anymore weight I would have to go to a bigger size. So my advise is if you order large you can always adjust down. Don't go by your waist size, measure your belly size as that is where you will be wearing it. I am real happy with mine.

I'm a 36 waist too and this is a bit snug. It's comfortable for an hour or two, then my back begins to hurt, so you may want to go a size up, depending on your intended use. It will likely become more comfortable with use, though.

Not sure how large of a waist can be accommodated but the straps that go across the back are adjustable. I have a 40 waist and there is still about 5 inches of additional waist adjustment left.

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.

I'm 5'4", with an average-proportioned torso, and this fit perfectly fine on my back...all the pieces were a bit big for me, but I didn't notice the back feeling too tall. I found it very easy to adjust, though, and I was just so grateful for the support in the last month of pregnancy that I'm not sure I would've really noticed if it was uncomfortable!

It fits across my body without a problem. You can also cinch the strap to fit around your waist.

It was loose on me but I'm short and petite and I don't remember what my waist is, but I would say it will probably fit a 36 inch waist pretty well. I did have to take it in. It worked well, just make sure that it doesn't ride up.. Mine rode up the back at one point, because I was doing a lot of movements (dancing).. I hope that helps a little.

If you will be using it after you have your baby, then yes it will fit you. If you are using it for other reasons, backache, etc., I don't think a medium would fit...

I don't believe the waist band would be comfortable for pregnancy. The waist band has no give...I'm 5'6 120 lbs and should have ordered the large, as a perspective on sizing.
