Recommend me a SSC for back carries

Jul 15, 2011 21:34

I'm specifically looking for something that DH (6 foot 2 and skinny) can wear DD (8 months) in for long walks and possibly even a hiking holiday. He's keen on our framed carrier but DD is NOT comfortable in it (it's a crotch dangler) so I'm hoping to convince him an SSC is better and sell on the framed carrier since we bought it second hand from ebay.

I'd like something which can fit tall 'n' skinny husband, short me, and be used into toddlerhood (but if getting a baby carrier now and a toddler carrier later is a better idea I'm open to it!). Mostly for back carries, but versatile.

I've been loaned an Ergo which I like, but I find it less comfortable than a wrap for front carries and only marginally more comfortable than a wrap for back carries, though obviously easier to get on and off for DH.

Suggestions? Anything I can pick up second hand at a discount is muchly appreciated!
