Chunei- Talk to me!

[alexsam]

My ds2 is 6 months and 21 lbs . He's killing my shoulders. I am not a newbie to baby carriers and have used and tried a whole bunch, but I need something really easy to suit-up in a parking lot or whatever by myself and comfortable in a backcarry and I hate the ergo. I had a meitai for a while and I could live with that again, but I think I'd really prefer a chunei.

So... Hosa? i-phyeonhae (Baby Comfort)? Woori?

Any oppinions on the i-phyeonhae (Baby Comfort) "wrapper" vs the older one with the velcro?

Does the woori velcro in the front?

Who has what and what do you think about them?

I am 5'2" and about a size 8 with a fairly large bust. What size?

Pictures anybody?

the wrapper chunei is very much similiar to the ergo. it's an ergo hidden in a chunei "shell"...so it looks like a chunei BUT feels like an ergo so if you hated the ergo then maybe it won't work for you... if you are looking for real chuneis, you should look into the regular chunei which is the velcro kind. both woori and i-phyeonhae velcro on the front/back (depending on which side you carry)... the i-phyeonhae has more features like sleep hood while the woori has a much softer feel and is more lightweight.

i would think the i-phyeonhae noblesse in XL size will be a better choice. HTH.

Will the XL be snug enough? Would it be snug enough if I continue to loose weight (I'm in the process of shedding baby pounds and it is going well - I expect to be about a size 6 or so by the fall...)? And peeking the "real life pics" on your site... most women have the regular... Why do you recommend the XL? Curious!

And just for knowing... My husband is a big guy (fit, not fat- 6'2" and 200 lbs). Would HE fit into it (he really loves the Ultimate Baby Wrap, but if you say he's got a shot, maybe I won't buy a pink one with flowers on it ? Its OK if you say "no way" . I'm getting one anyway!

I'm leaning toward the Noblesse. Anything else I should know about it in design, comfort or feel?
