recommend me a good sling for daddy

[Celesse]

DS as decided that he likes being held upright on someone's chest all the time. He especially likes being on daddy's chest. I've had him in my mei tai during the day and he's been a very happy baby.

Can anyone recommend a good sling for OH to wear. He is very large (xxl-xxxl t-shirt size) and is very self conscious and worried about a sling making him look girly.

There's nothing sexier than a man wearing babywearing I think men look great in wraps but maybe a more structured carrier would be more to his taste, something like an Ergo or Manduca. I'm not sure about the sizes on them but I know you can buy waist extenders for the Ergo. You'd have to measure his waist size and then check the website though. I think the Ergo Sport is bigger than the normal one.

My DH is eyeing an ergo for when Xanthe's about four-five months. I think they look really cool on daddies. For earlier on, I'd get a mei tai if both of you are to wear bubs.

My OH loves our boba 3g which goes from birth to toddler, DS is 16 months and sits in it comfortably They have lovely patterns too!

He shouldn't worry about that but he should expect a lot of attention from women when wearing a baby.

I think an Ergo or something like that would appeal to your manly man hehe. They are like reverse backpacks almost? Straps are adjustable so size shouldn't be a problem.

Hubby had a skull print Baby Hawk for when Emma was smaller. I love our Boba but found it super annoying that I was always having to re-adjust the straps after DH used it so it was just as well he liked the BH better

OH uses a connecta, it's reversible so you can pick a pretty patten and your OH can use the plain black side. OH is an XL and it fits him with room to spare.
