height restrictions for Ergo baby carrier I am 5'1". Will I be able to comfortably carry baby in this carrier or will it hang down too low on my frame?

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.

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.

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.

My husband is 6'1 and has never complained when using this stroller. I'm only 5'4 and don't have ant issues either.

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!

It is not adjustable like some of their other strollers. I use it and I am 5'4" and my husband also uses it and he is 6'1". It works for both of us.

My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'5" so we have a pretty good separation as well. My husband says that this stroller is the most comfortable we had tried and I haven't had any trouble with it being too high or uncomfortable for my hands either. I do not think you can adjust the handle height (or if you can, it's not obvious and we haven't tried) but neither myself, my husband, or any of our family members have been uncomfortable with it.

It is safe and comfortable for the baby to sleep on the bottom. I'm 5' tall and I just had a bit of a problem reaching the bottom...not much, but a little. My back is in pretty good shape so it didn't hurt my back, that will depend on you. Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope you love the pack n play!

I'm 6'2" and I can push it easily as long as nothing is hanging from the back like a diaper bag. My wife is 5'9" and she doesn't have problems either. There are no cross bars on the lower part of the back of this stroller so nothing to kick while you walk.

I would not think so. I used this carrier and I have a fairly large chest, especially when I was breastfeeding. The carrier has straps that are adjustable to make it comfortable for you and the baby no matter your size, breasts or otherwise. I tried a couple carriers and the ergo was the best one that I found. I even carried my baby in it when he was 3 months on an uphill hike in the mountains for multiple miles. And I was not even remotely in shape. So it was very comfortable for me and the baby and worked very well. I would say this is the carrier you'd need with a larger chest because it really is designed to be ergonomic and it's way easier on the back. I would not think so.

This would work great! It's seriously the most versatile carrier we have tried. I'm 5ft and my hubby is almost 6ft. We both use it fine. It's got a good wide bottom so it supports the baby properly instead of letting them dangle. Our son loves it and he's 15 months old and still has room to grow in it.

Just like my grown-up sized Ergo, this has a buckle for the waist and one on the back, between the shoulder blades. I guess that buckle that goes between the shoulder blades would be a chest strap if you wore the carrier backwards, but technically, you're not supposed to wear the Ergo that way. Of course, if you're carrying a babydoll, obviously this doesn't matter!

I love my Boba but I never tried the Beco. I am 5'7", 140 and the Boba fits my frame well. What I like about the Boba is how easy it is to get on and off, I can put the baby in the carrier in about 10 secs. and be on my way.

I think that you will have to hunch over. This stroller is not very tall. I am 5'5 and the height is good for me without hunching but anyone any taller may have a problem.

Great quality carrier. Great for infants 3 months & up. Great back support. Very comfortable for baby aswell as mom/dad. All day wear due to the paddings. Baby is seated in his/ her own pouch, instead of against ur clothes. Younger baby's need Somen like a wrap where it's more swaddling in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this Bjorne to moms under height 5.4 I'm selling mine for $65 on ebay as I'm too short for it so I didn't use mine for very long.

Yeah I am 5 ft 1 inch too and thinking of getting it, will it be ok for me? My husband is 6 ft will it be a hassle adjusting each time we want to use it?

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. :)
