I still wear my tall 2 yr old he wears 3T clothing. He's 35lbs. I wear him in a Merry Carry Wrap.

I have also worn my 46lb 5yr old in the same wrap a few times in the house not for long though. It made her feel pretty light wearing her a few times on my back

i'm like 120lbs

LOL, good one

I think that a SSC (soft structured carrier) will help distribute her weight! You are tiny, but carriers like the Pikkolo or the Beco Butterfly are designed with small moms in mind

I just had to switch on a SSC carrier after using the Kozy for the past year and a half. I loved he Kozy, but I have a weird body and it's not working out so well for me anymore. I bought the Beco Butterfly 2 and the Patapum toddler and I'm trying to decide which I like best. But I have already noticed an improvement over the MT.

DD is 2, about 28lbs and i am 5ft tall and about 130lbs and i was wearing my dd with mts, but i have switched to SSCs and they really are much more comfortable. I love my aplx, and my O&A....and i am hopefully going to try to get a BBB FBT, and a Kanga XT, and possibly a Petite Dream Carrier too.

Oh my goodness. Kudos to you for being able to wear your LO for that long! I had to stop when my DS was 17 months - he was getting way too heavy for me to wear any longer and I used a mei tai. Plus, he's very tall for his age and it wasn't comfortable for both of us any more.

DS is 3, 35 lbs, and H and I can still do a back carry with him in the Ergo.
