Melanie and other baby wearers of older babies

[EllieG]

I started out with a pouch sling thingy, and since then have been using a moby wrap. Freya now weighs about 21 pounds and can wriggle free of the moby, so sadly I can't wear her anymore . I have tried using the pushcair but she really doesnt like it and I miss wearing her. Can you suggest a wrap / sling that would be good from this satge? I'm not keen on wearing her on my back, but would like to wear her on my hip or front, she also likes to forward face. I have a bit of a tight budget, but will look out for used carriers, just any advice on which one would be really appriciated,
thank you

i would suggest either a mei tei or a woven wrap, as this will support babies weight better then a stretchy wrap. look on ebay for some bargains

I second Beanie's advice, woven wraps are the way to go. Mei tai's are great for older babies too as are soft structured carriers like the Ergo, Connecta, Jetpak etc.
