how long are the adjustable straps? we have a Ergo but with our 23lb daughter in it, it's rather snug for my husband who has a wide upper body.

I don't have a measurement, but my husband is quite a bit larger than me and a larger build - closer to 190lbs and only 5'9. He can wear a jacket or hoodie and still wear our toddler when he was in the 30lb range. This is compared to my 5'5 and 105lb frame - significant size difference, and there was still slack on my husband with the straps.

My DH is 6'2" and I'm 5'4" and we are both able to easily babywear with this or our Beco Soleil.The straps are very adjustable. The reason we love this brand is because you can cross the straps when front carrying.

Not only do the straps adjust; but the belly band can be adjusted as well. I am 5'3" and my fiancée is 6"3; and he can adjust it to fit him as well as me using it. Love it!

The strap is adjustable. I shortened my strap quite a bit to fit my 40 inch chest snuggly. I'm sure it will adjust to 44 or 47 inches quite easily.

I'd say yes. Our baby is more than 22 lbs and still rides comfortably in the Ergo (don't recall how long he is) - you may find that as your daughter gets heavier, *you* are more comfortable with her on your back instead of in front (and the side-carry option is nice to switch things out, though I never do that for long periods of time). We still use the Ergo in all three holds with our little guy. :)

The straps that fit over the shoulders are elastic and adjust in length, like suspenders. I would think this would adjust for most people. Possibly someone with very heavy shoulders and upper back could have a problem, but surely they could be extended with a little effort.

Buffalo Belle, I purchased this model for my 10 month old who is already at 30" of length. Yes it is true that the strap is higher. It makes getting my daughter in and out of her car seat so much better now we don't have to struggle. She also thoroughly enjoys riding in the car as the seat also sits her up higher for her to turn her head and see out the windows. It has been a God send to our family. Hope that this helps you in your decision making.

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.

There is plenty of extra straps...too much straps in my opinion. The adjustable strap is about 28 inches long. I'm 5'6 and it is about the right size for me, but I'm replacing it with one that can hold a tri-pod when hiking.

Yes the straps are adjustable. My daughter had it too tight the first few times she wore it and it gave her a headache but once she loosened it all was well.

Go with Ergo or Boba. It will be more comfortable for both baby and wearer. Those two are very adjustable and also have extenders for bigger wearers.

Yes, your daughter would fit. The Ergo Baby Carrier Original holds children up to 40 pounds. The neck support on the Ergo carriers is, by my standards, not as good as it is on some other wearers, but the Ergo has a sun hood that snaps over baby's head. When baby needs more neck support while sleeping, the hood works fine. My daughter is 3 years old and 35 pounds, and still fits comfortably in an Ergo.

I don't have a tape measurer handy, but I would guess including the clips 2 inches on one side and 5 inches on the other. The longer side strap is probably 3 inches that can be shortened. My 3 1/2 year old is 35lbs and I think she will be able to use it at least another year. It says it goes up to 50 lbs. My only worry next year could be if the arms will be comfortable.

I can tell you that the seat part is fairly wide, which I was surprised of as another Graco model we have for our daughter is not. My daughter is 6 years old and tall, average build. I agree with the other comment, the locking straps are GREAT. It's a good seat.

The strap is adjustable. I think it should work, but can't say for sure on someone that small.

I would try a small. Our pup is on the border too & it worked for him. The straps can adjust to pretty generous proportions & it's better if its a bit snug so that it doesn't slip around/chafe anyhow. It really has been a good purchase.
