There Is A Baby Carrier For Every Body!

Plus size Babywearing Maya Wrap Ring Sling Sizing

My plus-sized customers often share with me that it can be hard to find slings and carriers that fit comfortably. I know how frustrating and discouraging it is to feel that your body type is limiting the options available to you!

Everyone wants to find a carrier that fits on their body, and is also comfortable, safe, and fashionable!  Fortunately, we are seeing more and more size-friendly options on the market.

I am often asked what is “the best” baby carrier for plus-size wearers.  It’s important to acknowledge that all body shapes are different and not all “plus-size” bodies are the same shape and size! 

Baby carrier fit is also a personal thing and everyone has their preferences.  So whether you are plus-size parents or not, you may need to try a few carriers to find the one you love.

 

The Four Basic Carrier Types

There are four basic types of carriers. All four can be comfortable for plus size wearers! Plus size wearers can choose from ANY of these categories – nothing is off limits!

The first step in choosing a carrier is to choose which type of carrier you want to focus on. Then, you can move on to the tips in the baby carrier category you are interested in!

There is a huge range of carriers on the market, but most of them fall into these four basic carrier types:

 

1.Wraps

Starry Nights of Salvador Moby Wrap Evolution Bamboo | Petunia Picklebottom Moby Wraps
Starry Nights of Salvador Moby Wrap Evolution Bamboo | Petunia Picklebottom Moby Wraps

Long pieces of fabric that get wrapped around the body. Versatile, stretchy & cuddly, but the highest learning curve.

2.Ring Slings

Fog Classic Sakura Bloom | Sakura Bloom Ring Slings | Sakura Bloom Ring Slings
Fog Classic Sakura Bloom | Sakura Bloom Ring Slings | Sakura Bloom Ring Slings

Long pieces of fabric that get looped over one shoulder and tightened with rings.  Fast and easy to use, great for newborn cuddles and as hip carriers for older babies.

3.Buckle Carriers

Feathers Beco Carrier | Beco Baby Carriers
Feathers Beco Carrier | Beco Baby Carriers

A catch-all category for carriers that fasten with buckles.  This includes soft structured carriers, which are the most widely recognized type of carrier.  These have a padded structured waistband and padded shoulder straps. This category also includes Onbuhimo carriers.

4.Meh Dai

A cross between a wrap and a buckle carrier, meh dais tie rather than buckle but are easier to learn than wraps.

 

What Carrier Types Should You Consider?

All of them! 

Being plus-sized does not mean you are limited to one type of carrier! 

The type of baby carrier you pick should be based on your budget and what you will be using the carriers for.

If you are looking for one single carrier, choose a two-shouldered option.  This means looking at a buckle carrier, wrap, or meh dai.

If your budget stretches to more than one carrier, definitely add a ring sling! They are a great complement to a two-shouldered carrier and are awesome for easy ups and hip carries (with older babies).

Features to consider when choosing baby carriers for plus size wearers

  • Straps

Comfortable straps are key.  The straps need to be long enough to fit, but they also should be either wide enough or sufficiently padded so that they comfortably distribute weight and don’t dig into your skin. Pay attention to the placement of any buckles as well, and whether there is a chance of the buckles digging.

  • Waistband

If the carrier has a waistband, it should be fully adjustable for the plus size wearer.

  • Breathable Fabrics

If you run hot, you’ll want to look for carriers in breathable fabrics.  100% cotton and linen fabrics are breathable and cool.  Many carriers also have mesh panels to increase airflow in and around the carrier.

  • Adjustability

To be comfortable, the baby carrier you choose should be adjustable to your needs.  Straps and waistbands usually adjust, but you also want to make sure that you can reach the pockets, easily put the hood on and off and reach any straps or buckles that you need to adjust.

 

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Buckle Carrier for Plus Size wearers:

Tula Carrier best baby carriers for plus size moms and dads

  1. Acknowledge upfront that there may be some trial and error in finding the right buckle carrier.  The most popular type of baby carrier can also be the most challenging one if your body type is different than the “standard” size.
  2. Don’t just look at the length of the arms straps and waist belt.  Also consider the padding on the carrier and whether it’s placed to be most comfortable for you.
  3. Look for carriers that have options for extra adjustability. For example buckles, you can open all the way to lengthen the padding or push them down to help move buckles to a comfortable spot that doesn’t rub.
  4. Look for dual adjust side buckles that allow you to move the buckle around to a more comfortable spot. These buckles also allow you to adjust the straps by pulling forward rather than back, which is easier for all wearers.

This is the baby carrier I always recommend when people ask me what is best baby carrier for plus sized people...

Plus Size Information:
Read More
The Hip Belt Measures 5" tall and 27" wide. Additional webbing extends approximately 30” (waistband total of ~ 57” long) which are long enough for plus size wearer.
Why we love it

The Tula Free-to-Grow knocks it out of the park in so many ways, including comfort for plus size bodies.  This is my top recommended carrier when asked about the best baby carriers for plus size wearing.

The Tula Free to Grow has a lightweight cotton body that is floppy and moldable so it hugs your baby to you.  It is reasonably cool to wear, and there’s an upgraded “Coast” version with a mesh center panel for additional airflow to baby’s back.

This carrier has three width adjustments and several height adjustments so your baby can be properly supported as she or he grows.  With shoulder straps that extend to 50″ and a waistband that extends to 57″, this carrier is a good fit for plus size wearers.  Comes in a wide range of colors and prints.

Keep in mind

The Tula Free to Grow does not face baby forward.  If this is important to you, you may want to consider another carrier.

Also, the pocket on the front is small and can be a bit hard to access as baby gets bigger.

Single adjust buckles are attached at the end of the shoulder straps, which means you have to have some arm flexibility/mobility to get the carrier on and off (for some suggestions on making it easier to get this or any buckle carrier on by yourself, go here.

The Hip Belt Measures 5" tall and 27" wide. Additional webbing extends approximately 30” (waistband total of ~ 57” long) which are long enough for plus size wearer.
Why we love it

Tula carriers are favorites of our plus-size customers, and this new Tula Explore offers the forward-facing carry at last!

The fabrics on this carrier are soft and the design of the seat means this carrier supports your child is an ergonomic position when facing forward, as well as in the standard front-facing and back carries.

Tula Explore carrier offers several adjustments so that it grows with your baby and can be used from birth to toddlerhood (7-45 bs). It is easy to switch between positions.

The shoulder straps (up to 54″) and waistband (up to 57″) on this carrier are generously sized.

Keep in mind

The light padding on the body makes this carrier warmer than some others (such as the Tula Free to Grow).

The pocket on the front is small and can be a bit hard to access as baby gets bigger.

Single adjust buckles are attached at the end of the shoulder straps, which means you have to have some arm flexibility/mobility to get the carrier on and off (for some suggestions on making it easier to get this or any buckle carrier on by yourself, go here.

What CMA Customers Say

“I love the simplicity of this carrier – it does all the carries with a minimum of fuss and not too many adjustments. And it’s so soft! “

“This carrier is so lightweight and easy to use. My little one gets to people watch and I get to enjoy having my hands free to play with my older child.”

“No buckles poking my underarms or breasts like other carriers do after a while.”

“It’s super adjustable and so comfortable for me and my baby, even when she is facing out, which is something I was worried about.  This is literally the only carrier you need, it’s perfect.”

Simple & Streamlined Baby Carrier

Beco Gemini

Our Rating
4.5/5
Best baby carrier for plus size Beco Gemini | Beco Gemini Carrier | Beco Baby Carriers
Beco Gemini

Easy to use, with straps that cross on your back or can be worn backpack style.

Why we love it

The Beco Gemini is simple but versatile. 

The wide shoulder straps are super comfortable and they offer the option to cross the straps on your back, which many people find way more comfortable.  Wide shoulder straps are less bulky and spread the weight nicely across your shoulders and back.

The Gemini buckles attach on the side of the carrier which makes it easier to buckle the straps if you have limited mobility in your arms or shoulders.  There is padding under the side buckle, which keeps buckle from digging in to your side as much.

This carrier has a generous 59″ waistband and the shoulder straps extend to 45.”

Keep in mind

The Gemini has a bit less adjustability than some of the newer forward-facing carriers on the market. 

The body of the carrier has two height settings: one with the headrest up and one with the headrest down.  There are also just two settings on the base.  This carrier doesn’t have an additional hood. 

Also, know that the padded body of the Gemini offers support but is also a bit warmer for baby. The “Cool Mesh” version is a lot cooler but has shorter straps and waistbelt (54″).

What CMA Customers Say

“I’m a big girl…like 3x-4x big.  I was worried the carrier wouldn’t fit me because of my size. I am in LOVE with this carrier! It’s a comfortable fit and easy to put on.”

“I’ve tried EVERY carrier out there and the Beco Gemini has by far been my favorite.”

“The weight is on your hips, not your shoulders or back, so I am able to wear this for an extended period of time. I love it and wish I got it sooner (instead of suffering through the Bjorn).”

Most popular buckle carrier for older babies

Tula Standard Carrier

Our Rating
4.5/5
Tula Carrier best baby carriers for plus size moms and dads
Tula Standard Carrier

This is an awesome carrier for babies 6 months and up (or younger with additional infant insert). A plus-size customer favorite for comfort and ease of use.

Why we love it

The Tula just fits!  This is our most popular buckle carrier for babies 6 months and up and it’s a great fit for wearers of all sizes.  The body of the carrier is a soft cotton twill that is soft and breathable.  The Tula has Coast versions with a center mesh panel for additional coolness.  The shoulder straps are well padded but not super bulky and the waistband is flexible while still offering support.  The Tula comes in so many cute prints, too. Perfect fit adjustor buckles at the shoulder make this a great buckle carrier for breastfeeding and also give your baby a little more room in the carrier if needed.  Waistband extends to 59″ and shoulder straps to 50.”

Keep in mind

This carrier requires an additional infant insert for use with small babies (under 15 lbs) so it’s best for use with babies 6-7 months or older.

Check Price of Tula Standard

What CMA Customers Say

“My son is now almost 10 months old and 22lbs. He loves being in the Tula, front or back, and he really seems almost weightless.”

“Tula- my golden carrier. I’m 5’8” and a size 18.  It fits my waist and wide shoulders with no issues. Easy to adjust while wearing. Was able to nurse in this carrier with a little practice. “

Budget-Friendly and Decent quality!

4/5
You+Me 4-in-1 Ergonomic Baby Carrier
You+Me 4-in-1 Ergonomic Baby Carrier

A great choice for wearers on a budget or who want a carrier that softer and less heavily padded. Best for babies 6 months and up

Why we love it

The perfect fit: YOU+ME baby carrier offers a perfect tailored fit for  plus size moms who wear up to a size 18 — the adjustable seat, padded shoulder straps and waist belt allow for a completely customized fit for you and baby.

Switch to the wide seat setting to continue to provide a variety of ergonomic carry positions as your child grows.

You +me baby carriers are less expensive than some comparable carriers on the market, but they are still great quality.  Perfect Fit Adjustors make breastfeeding easier and also offer an additional room in the carrier.

Keep in mind

This carrier is best for babies over 10 lbs or so, not suggest to newborns.

We do however recommend maybe a short sleeve when wearing the product and no tank tops, the straps rub against the skin a little rough,  but until then short sleeves should prevent it.

“really love this I can use it and so can my husband and with us being to different sizes it fits to both which is great”

“Right so at this price point were not expecting ultimate comfort. What we do get is a great carrier for the price.The kiddo seems to like it pretty well. I am a plus size mom (size 16-18) and it fits me with a little room to spare!”

Infantino Swift Classic Carrier

Our Rating
4/5
Infantino Swift Classic Carrier
Infantino Swift Classic Carrier

Quick and easy to use, the intantino swift is awesome for wearers with older babies who don't want anything wrapped around their waist

Why we love it

The Infantino Swift Classic Baby Carrier is an awesome option for when you want something for quick ups with your older baby or toddler. 

This carrier doesn’t have a waistband so there is no constricting fabric around your waist.

Onbuhimos are one of the best carriers for plus-size wearing if you don’t love having anything around your waist.

These carriers are a great price, too.

Keep in mind

Infantino baby carriers are not suitable for wearing newborns or smaller babies. The carrier does not provide head support and hip support for the baby. 

They are designed to be worn high on your back, which is a different feel than the average buckle carrier

What CMA Customers Say

“At first i was worried this carrier would be uncomfortable on me, i am a plus size mom (270lbs) but this fits wonderfully and is so much more comfortable than other carriers i have tried in the past”

“I’m plus sized and it’s hard to find carriers that fit me! I wear a 2x in tops and am 5’11. This carrier fits me so well!! It’s easy to use and my baby loves it!! “

“Great for the price. We just toss it in the car as we prepare to go somewhere. Light and comfortable for baby. We have used many wraps and this carrier has been the best fit for us. Good for plus size moms as well!”

Tips for Choosing a Meh Dai for Plus Size Moms and Dads:

Meh Dai carriers best baby carriers for plus size

If you love the ease of use of a buckle carrier, but find the buckles uncomfortable, a meh dai could be perfect for you. 

These all-cloth carriers offer a soft, natural-feeling carry with no buckles, but are easier to use than a wrap.

  1. Choose meh dai with at least 80″ straps (or longer)
  2. Consider wider straps which distribute the weight well over your shoulders.  Wrap-style straps are popular for their comfort and digging in less on the shoulders.

The ultra adjustable side and long panel fit plus size parents.
Why we love it

FULLY ADJUSTABLE for a perfect fit each time regardless of person’s shape or size especially for plus size Moms and Dads; One size fits all ages and baby stages, from newborn to pre-school age.

Meh-Dais / Mei Tais are a quick and simple alternative to people who wish the feel of a wrap but the structure of a buckle carrier without the buckles can be worn on the FRONT, HIP, and BACK.

Perfectly supports baby in an optimal secure position, and provides comfortable babywearing, even as baby grows.

Keep in mind

This carrier ties rather than buckles and has long straps which can drag on the ground when putting it on and off if you’re not careful. 

This carrier doesn’t have pockets although it comes packaged with a pouch that you can carry on the strap.

“eally comfy to wear and baby loves it too, bought it for the head support once asleep and it is perfect … Hands free again whilst baby is happily snoozin !

Bset for Tiny Babies and Preemie Babies

Boppy Newborn Baby Carrier

Our Rating
4/5

Easy to use. Gives the support of wraps but easier and simpler to use. No belts, buckles, rings, or ropes that might bother baby or wearer

Why we love it

Fully adjustable for a perfect fit each time regardless of person’s shape or size especially for plus-size Moms and Dads;  Coming from stretchy and blended wraps, the Tank top-style arm straps are a great compromise.

The stretchy fabric makes this combo style mei tai more comfortable than the other ones. 

The unique mesh screen panel provides support to the baby’s head if the baby falls asleep and also provides cover when breastfeeding in the carrier.

This Boppy Carrier is created with nice experts and parents of Preemie babies, so it is a great choice for preemies, newborns, and tiny babies.

Keep in mind

You may need some practice before carrying your little one. And it is for babies up to 20 pounds.

What CMA Customers Say

” Every time I use to people stop to ask where I got it. It works well on a plus size frame “

“I searched a long time for a new carrier and chanced on this one after using buckle carriers and wraps. I wanted something thinner and less hot than the moby, more supportive than my ring sling, and more comfortable than the SSCs I’d tried.”

Tips for Choosing a Wrap for Plus Size Wearers:

Wraps are a fabulously size friendly carrier. Because they are simply a long piece of fabric, they are infinitely adjustable around your curves.

  1. Wraps with some stretch in them are great for those new to babywearing – they stretch and conform around your body with ease. Many of these wraps are one-size and can easily fit bodies up to 2x.
  2. Woven wraps are sized, so it’s possible to find one that works for every wearer.
  3. If you re new to woven wraps, choose a 100% cotton, thin-to-medium weight wrap in a colorway that you love.

One size fits YOU -- Uniquely sized to the parent or caregiver (not the baby), available in sizes XXS to XL.
Why we love it

When asked why, most replied that it’s because it’s so easy to wear, just like putting on a t-shirt. There are no fussy buckles, rings or belts to worry about to hold the wrap in place.

It comes with a useful and matching carrying bag that you can conveniently carry around in your diaper bag. It’s made of 100% cotton and is perfect for newborns to toddlers weighing 35lbs.

Keep in mind

Have to pick the right size from XXS to XL

“I’m plus size (I wore a size 24 when my baby was born) as well as very busty (cup size DDD) and was concerned that the fit wouldn’t work for me but it not only worked but it wasn’t tight or uncomfortable like the strap type carries which we also have.”

Moby Wrap : Evolution (Bamboo)

Moby Wrap:Evolution

Wrap your baby in cocoon-like softness. Cotton with bamboo to keep you both cooler.

Plus Size Information:
Read More
The Classic wrap is slightly longer at 5.5 m and the Evolution is 5m. The Evolution is slightly stretchier so they both work for plus size.
Why we love it

There are a lot of stretchy wraps on the market, but the Moby Evolution stands out with its bamboo fabric content, which makes it thinner and cooler than the classic Moby and than other stretchy wraps out there. 

At 5.5m, this wrap is long enough for most plus-size wearers. We consider stretchy wraps to be one of the best carriers for plus size wearers with a newborn.

Keep in mind

This carrier has a lot of stretch to it which makes it lovely for wearing small babies but most people find that it is too stretchy to provide needed support once the baby hits 20 lbs or so, so it’s best as a newborn wrap.

This wrap is not recommended for forward-facing carries or for back carries.

What CMA Customers Say

“I am a size 26/28 and the Moby fits me great tied in the back! We love our Moby. “

The widthwise stretch, making these super supportive and comfy for a wide range of size.
Why we love it

This is my favorite stretch wrap – it has enough stretch in it to make it easy to use (and to pop baby in and out after it’s tied on) but is also supportive enough to wear in most positions that a woven wrap can be used in (including forward-facing and back carries). 

Unlike many stretchy wraps, the Wrapsody Hybrid can be used well into toddlerhood.  It is also reasonably thin and light. At 5.5m, this wrap is long enough for most plus size wearers.

Keep in mind

Like all wraps, there is a lot of fabric, which can be overwhelming at first. These are gorgeous, hand-dyed and batiked wraps, but the look is not for everyone.

What CMA Customers Say

“It is so lightweight, doesn’t take up space in my car/storage, and has some stretch for comfort but so far is quite supportive for my 18 lb 5 month old. I love it as much as my woven wraps and wish i had purchased it sooner.”

“This wrap is so soft but still sturdy enough for back carries. No need to break it in. I also love the design! As for the seller, I couldn’t be more pleased. “

Easy, breezy and beautiful, in lengths to fit most bodies!

Why we love it

This woven wrap is super lightweight and cool!  Suitable from birth through toddlerhood, this wrap could be the only carrier you need! 

Great price for a woven wrap.  The longest length is 6.0m which should fit up to size 28.

Keep in mind

Like most woven wraps, this wrap takes some breaking in to get soft and some practice to learn to use.

It is not as cushy as more expensive woven wraps. 

Some customers report that you have to wrap carefully to avoid pressure points with heavier kids.

What CMA Customers Say

“I was looking for an infant carrier that was both lightweight and simple to use. This wrap is absolutely beautiful & so comfortable in warmer weather.”

“It is super grippy and there are a million different ways you can baby wear it.”

“Because this wrap is made of gauze it is a bit more grabby than other wraps and my girlie feels nice and secure everytime we use it. It is also cool and airy in the hot summer months.”

Tips for Choosing a Ring Sling for Plus Size Moms & Dads:

Ring slings are another easy-to-use and adjustable carrier that can fit any babywearer.

Many wearers consider a ring sling to be one of the easiest and best carriers for plus size wearers.

When choosing a Ring Sling baby carrier, you should:

Consider Sling Length

Generally, longer is better in a ring sling because the additional length can just be wrapped around the rings if needed (or you can easily get it tailored to fit).  If you are sized 16 or under, a standard size sling (72-78″) may fit.  If you are over size 16 (or want a longer tail), look for a sling that is 80″ or longer.

Consider Shoulder Type

 If you have rounded or sloping shoulders, you may prefer a sling that spreads wide, such as a gathered shoulder.  If you have narrow shoulders, you may prefer a narrower shoulder such as the Maya Wrap Lightly Padded Sling.  Shoulder padding can also make these carriers more comfortable and the narrower shoulder is less restrictive of your arm movement.

Think About Pockets

If the ring sling has a pocket on it, this may reduce the usable length of the sling.

Woven cotton has a wrap conversion feel that other slings in the price range don’t.  The fabric is soft and moldable and supportive enough for toddler-wearing.  85″ prior to washing and 81″ after washing, so long enough to fit most plus-size wearers. 

For a budget price, this is one of the best baby carriers for plus size, as far as ring slings go!

Linen + cotton woven together to make a super supportive and beautiful wrap. Long length fits all!

Why we love it

A super supportive ring sling that will take you all the way through toddlerhood.  50/50 cotton-linen blend offers great support and is gorgeous besides. Option of ring colors is a fun touch.  This one-size carrier is very long at 90″ so should fit most plus size wearers with length to spare. Weight limit is 45 lbs which is higher than many ring slings – so this is definitely toddler-worthy!

Keep in mind

This fabric is stiff out of the box so will need washing and steaming to break in.  Like any ring sling, this carrier is one-shouldered so all your baby’s weight is on the one shoulder.

Easy to use sling in lengths to fit all bodies!

Why we love it

This classic sling has a lightly padded shoulder that makes it so easy to learn on and adds a little padding without being bulky. We appreciate the lightweight woven cotton in a ton of pretty colors. The size XL is 85″ (including a pocket on the tail) and is usable for most wearers.  The pocket on the tail is handy for stashing small items on the go

Keep in mind

The Maya Wrap sling’s pocket does limit the usability of the length.
