RE: Baby Bjorn question!
The pound limit on the Bjorn is only 25 pounds. My 26 pound son will not fit so I have to use the sling or stroller. Nevertheless we loved the Bjorn when our son was smaller- especially my husband. With the Bjorn it is a what you see is what you get situation. If you like the Bjorn idea for a bigger child try the sutami carrier. Most babies are gaining in length as fast or fast as the gain girth so it would be unlikely that a 20-25 pounder would be too round to fit. I do know parents who stopped using the carrier at 18 or so pounds but the babies are still fit into it- the parents just found it uncomfortable or a tight fit. Adjusting the straps correctly really helps- I see lots of parents with the straps crossed too hign on their back to be comfortable for longer periods.
