I have a 9 month old and we are going to Disney after Thanksgiving. I have an Ergo that I really like. I have only worn her on the front, not the back yet. I was wondering about the rides. Should I look into getting a carrier that can do front facing, so she can still be in the carrier and ride the rides with me facing out?
What carrier would work for this situation? She's probably 18ish pounds. I would need it to accommodate a hefty body (I'm about 250 and 5'7"). I am the only one that wears the carrier. Comfort is the most important factor.

I think the Pikkolo faces out and is comfortable. I have no idea of this, but is it really safe to wear a baby on rides?

I meant the ones babies were allowed to go on (I think the ones without height restrictions). Like the It's a Small World ride, etc.

I prefer facing in or back carry, but think she would like to see facing foward on the rides (that I can take her on).

I'm sure it is fine, I don't mean to be judgy Originally Posted by lhafer

I think a pikkolo would be great then because you could face her out on the rides but then switch her to face in or back carry when you are walking around (so much comfier). I am thinking about getting one for DSIL and they look awesome. I'm not sure how they fit for larger mamas. I have an Ergo (and am a larger mama) and love it, but defintiely no outfacing option.

Unless your my neighbor. She wears her LO in an Ergo facing outward. Originally Posted by BabyBearsMom

We're going to WDW in Feb with our almost 7 month old and we plan to bring either our Ergo or Beco and just take him out and put him in our lap while we ride the rides, the ones without height restrictions.

My SIL did that when she borrowed my Ergo. I was looking at pictures going "Um....what are you doing?" She only had a bjorn so assumed everything was like that Originally Posted by kaharris83

DUDE, how did she not strain that baby's poor groin muscles?!?! Originally Posted by kaharris83

Yeah, I think I just want a new carrier!!
I've had the Ergo for 3 years, and love it. But I was thinking about a Plikkolo just to be able to face her forward on the rides. THought it would be a little easier to have her secured in my lap while facing forward in case I needed to take a hand off of her for some reason. Walking around she would be facing in or on my back. But I don't want to spend the money. I know I could sell it. I rarely see Ergos for sale, much less Becos or Plikkolos.
