rec needed: carrier (ssc or mt) for tall toddler

[luckygreen713]

My dd2 is 2yo and is tall for her age. She has a long torso. I currently have an Ergo and Babyhawk MT but both of those are much too short for her, so I'm selling them to get something that fits her. I need something made for a toddler. I'm considering the Boba, the Oh Snap, and a Toddlerhawk. I also read that the Kozy has a very tall body, so I'll consider that as well. I'm trying to find something that will be tall enough for my dd, but that will work on my small frame as well. I need some recommendations from people who have experience with these carriers. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

If you want something easy to find, look for the Patapum, Mei favorite Toddler Carrier by Babies Beyond Borders, or an Oh Snap(though those aren't that tall).

If you want to wait a bit, you can try to get on one of the customs lists for an 18 inch Olives & Applesauce, Kinderpack, Bamberoo, Kanga XT, Dream carrier, which are all made by WAHM's. You can google all these names for info. The customs ones also will make petite straps for you.
HTH!

I have a mei favorite toddler deluxe from babies beyond borders and I LOVE it. I would totally recommend one! http://babiesbeyondborders.com/

I still wear DD, almost 3, in mine with no trouble.

Either a ToddlerHawk or a Kozy would likely work, although IME the TH tends to fit petite mamas better because the angle of the shoulder straps is smaller than that on the Kozy.

But I'm a bigger fan of buckle carriers for toddlers for the convenience and comfort of the hip belt/weight transfer thing. Of the Boba and Oh Snap, I think either could work for your frame, but the Oh Snap does have more adjustability for a custom fit in terms of the hip belt and shoulder belt adjusters.

Thanks for all of your replies, I appreciate it!
I had the chance to try on a Boba over the weekend and I liked it so I bought it. It still isn't perfect, but it's sure better than our Ergo. My 2yo dd has a really long torso, so the top still barely makes it to her shoulder blades, but the Ergo was barely making it past her waist, so it's an improvement. I'm going to hang on to the Boba for now, but I will also check out all of the WAHM ones listed above. I've always been fascinated by Dream Carriers. But I am soooooo impatient...
Thanks again
