Hi everyone,

I am in search for a carrier that can be used FF (for an infant, currently 2.5 months old). My friend, who is no more than 5 ft tall, will be using it. I would love any recommendations that you might have for what could work for her.

TIA!

I really, really thought the lack of ff would be a deal breaker for me b/c I used the Bjorn with ds1 and he loved socializing with the world. But I got a Beco with ds2 and he didn't mind being faced into me one single bit. He just socialized over my shoulder. I am 5'2" so pretty short. :) No problems with it. It fit me better than an Ergo.

A lillebaby Everywear can forward face. We love ours. Now that she's older I usually wear her on my back.

Pikkolo! It's very adjustable.

Or you can wait for the Beco Gemini, which I think is supposed to be out this month.

Yup! Although ff usually doesn't last for too long, but can be very nice for when you need it.

Pikkolo! My mom is only 4'10ish and she can wear it without a problem... even switching it off to my dad who's about 5'8 (we're Asians so we're short :p ).
