Versatile sling for a tall mamma

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I had a ring sling with DD which didn't really suit me, and so this time around I"m looking for something else to try. I'm 6'0'' so some slings just don't work.

Any recs? Can the moby work? The Mei Tei?

Woven wraps are so versatile if you can get past the learning curve. There are so many different carries and lots of great you tube videos with instructions. Lots of people love mobys. When I have another newborn I want a baby Bali stretch. Mei Tei's are great too. I ended up preferring a wrap for young babies and my Angel Pack for older babies and toddlers.

ETA: not sure about lengths of the moby, but wraps generally can be ordered in different lengths depending on height and type of carries you may want to do. My husband is 6' and uses my Kozy mei tai with regular length straps with no problem.

Wraps and mei tais work well for taller parents -- there are MT brands that have extra-long straps, too. I would choose a taller-bodied MT like a Kozy or a ToddlerHawk by Babyhawk, since you're going to be proportionally longer in the torso than a shorter mama.
