My question is more about ME than my baby :) I'm a big girl, 5;8" and about 240 lbs. Would this carrier fit ME?

this is for a PET not a baby but i measured the straps if they were completely open at 38in max- the straps are sewn only 5in across top of carrier. can you crisscross 38in across your back from that starting point?

a medium carrier might be a little tight, depending how long your pup is. the heighth should be ok.

Absolutely. My daughter is 18 lbs and there is plenty of room. Have a good trip!

My poodle is 4lbs and about 7 inches tall at the shoulder, and although she is fully grown, she fits comfortably. However, it may be a little short should your pup like to stand up while riding. For now, it would work beautifully for the pup, but as he grows it might be a little low. For the price, I would definitely recommend it though. It is a beautiful, airy, light and comfortable carrier.

I believe so. My husband and I go back and forth with this carrier and we've had no issues. When he's carrying our 2.5 year old there's still a lot of strap left over on all the adjustments. It really is a great carrier.

Well my pomarian fits in it. An she's about 5lbs. I think you should try something else.

I am 5'2 and weigh about 175 (currently) I got a large because I'm carrying so large and it's still pretty big on me. The under belly part is pretty stretchy. I don't know if that helps at all. :-/

I wouldn't see why not. I am 5'5" and have no problems wearing it. The shoulder straps are adjustable so you can just cinch it up nice and tight if you need to. There is a chest strap you can use too if you are doing a back carry. I find that helps the shoulder straps from sliding off the shoulders. For front carry I always crossed the straps across the back and it fit awesome that way. I guess depending on how big your baby/child is as well will help fill it out more or not. If it is for an small baby they do have an infant insert that works really well. I can wear it with my 33lb 3 year old on the back but also used it for my newborn on the front. Both very comfortably. Depending where you are located it might be helpful to see if you can try it on first. There are tons of retailers in the U.S. and Canada that carry the Onya (just check their website for a listing). Hope this helps.

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.

My 4 pound Morkie fits perfect..really no extra room. So I think your 8 pounder would be to big for it... I'd go up one size. It's well made and comfortable to wear.

No. I'm a bigger guy and it fits me just right. You can not move the pouches on it. Depending on the size of your child it may fit but it will wrap around them.

The Baby Bjorn will be too small. I recommend the Ergo original carrier (not the sport or performance) which has straps that easily extend to fit most people. Plus you can use it till your child is 40 lbs, vs the Baby Bjorn that only can be used till age one (20 lbs) as it becomes very uncomfortable.

There are tons of great carriers out there that will work well for petite women. Check out thebabywearer.com for lots of info but some good choices include the Anglepack and The Kinderpack with petite straps.

I am a bigger gal (size 16 -18) and it fits around me with slack to spare. There is also a little elastic band that keeps the slack coiled up nicely so it doesn't dangle. I am not sure of the exact measurement on the waist or arms but my husband is tall an lanky and he can carry our 20mo toddler with no problem, while I can carry our 2 week old with ease. I had these same concerns and I absolutely LOVE this carrier. Wish I hadn't wasted money on all the others I bought previously! Hope this info helps :) good luck!

I would say yes it would probably even better than how it fits me. The straps are adjustable so you should be good.

I'm 5'8" 230 and it fits me perfectly. Depends on your torso, but it should fit. If there's a longer one, I'd go for that if I were you.

I believe it would fit. It's extremely large for my 2T daughter. dragging on the ground and wrapped 2 times.
