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.

Great stroller but there is no arm adjustment. I am 6' 1" and it works for me. My wife is 5' 2", and her arms get tired when pushing it for a period of time. It was my one reservation when I purchased the stroller.

Cheryl,I think you should go up. I'm 5'6" and I have the smallest frame available. Good luck in your choice!

I am 5' 5" and no problems.. this is fabulous. I wanted to drive less and walk more, so I walk to the Supermarket, fill up the Versa Cart(I don't use a supermarket cart anymore) and I can pull it up my stairs in my Apartment. This is the best thing Cart, I LOVE it!!!!

Hi, I think the stroller handle is long enough for your height. My husband is 5'10" and his elbows are bent when holding the handle. The stroller maneuvers well and is comfortable to push.

I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier. Also depending on how old your baby is it may be very big. Its a toddler sized carrier. I got ours when my son began to out grow the Ergo around 18mo. He's 2 yes and 32lbs now and I can carry him all day in it if needed. All that being said I do love our Moby Go but if your baby doesn't like the Ergo they probably won't like this either. I will also say though that sometimes being in a carrier (of any type) takes an adjustment period for baby. I would keep trying with what you have (for short times and when baby is happiest) or possibly try a ring sling. Hope this helps. I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier.

The height and weight are correct for the baby carrier. However, I would always suggest that you ask your pediatrician if your child is ready. He has to be able to hold his head erect, wear a helmet, etc. Manufacturers rightly practice CYA in their recommendations, but each child is different. Enjoy!

I'm 5'4 and my husband is 6 foot. We both use it without a problem. The handle is adjustable so he puts it where it works for him and I lower it for me and we even lower it far enough for our 2 year old to push the stroller. Also since the stroller is so small width wise it works great in crowded cities. We use it in Amman Jordan and have used it all over Europe without any problems.

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 think it could be too big for you. I'm 5'5' and I tighten the straps almost as far as they can go in order for the baby to be high enough. They say the baby is supposed to be "kissing distance." It would depend on the size of the baby, too. My baby is 6 months.

Ergo has a very small waist band compared to other similar carriers. The waist extends to 43 inches (51 with the extender that you can purchase). The Beco Butterfly Beco Gemini and Boba 3G both extend to 57 inches. The Pikkolo extends to 54. The Pattapum to 55. The Action Baby Carrier to 53. The Anglepack to 50. The Babyhawk Oh Snap to 66. The Olives and Applesauce to 60. Check out thebabywearer.com for tons of helpful information on babywearing and different carriers (there are tons of great carriers out there, way more than what you see in stores or even on Amazon).

I have an organic ergo and have to use a waist extender. I am an XL woman. It fits very comfortable, but you do get a little pudge/muffin top effect over the wasteband, if I'm being honest. It's not the most flattering thing in the world if you have any excess in the middle area. My husband is not able to use the ergo carrier, even with the extender, because it's way too tight around the waste. He prefers the baby bjorn for younger baby because it has no waste strap. Good luck to you.

Yes, she would be comfortable because her legs will wrap around you, unlike in some other carriers like the bjorn, where the legs hang down. My son is around 35 inches and fits perfectly. Though at 28 pounds is getting too heavy for me for the front position! 19.5 pounds though - no prob!

HI Jason, I bought this about 3 months ago and love it. I'm 5' 11". If you notice the small strap up top, that will align under your chest and waist fits accordingly. I have twin daughters - both about 22 Pounds - they love it, doesn't impact my back negatively in any way. One feature I like is underneath the babies seat are tightening straps which raise and lower the level of the baby to sit up higher or lower. Definitely recommend. Let me know if you need anything else. Joe jhargett@graebel.com

my son is almost 18m and tall. i've done both front and hip carries with it. it is very comfy. we've only been using it for a bit over a month, and i love this thing. i prefer it to the ergo where comfort is concerned, and it won't dig into your neck on hip carries like the ergo straps do. someone else responded that their daughter outgrew the carrier at 7m, which is nuts. unless it was a type and she meant 27 or 37 months. my son still has plenty of room to grow in it.

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.

I'm 5'7" and my husband is 6'. We've had no problem with getting our son out and he's heavy. We love it so much we bought it for grandmother to use at her house. She has no complaints bending over - our son is 21 months and 30lbs now...no issues.
