Plus Size Babywearing Carriers and Wraps
1. Baby K’tan
Plus Size Information
The Baby K’tan is sized to fit the wearer and we have sizes ranging all the way up to XL (Women’s size 18-22)
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• Baby K’tan is awesome! I’m size 24 fits great! Daughter loves it very comfortable not back breaking like some
• Doesn’t cut in or squeeze me where I don’t want it too. The cotton is a wonderful breathable material for longer wears, and Daddy can use the same size. Plus – it’s only an XL.
• I really love my Baby K’tan. It’s soft and flexible, very easy to put on and get baby into and easy to adjust with a baby in it if you need to. I am carrying my one month old regularly but I have put my 18 lb 7-month-old nephew in it as well as my 40 lb 4-year-old daughter. It’s worked for everyone!
2. Boba Wrap
Plus Size Information
The Boba carrier comes only in one size. It is designed to fit most parents between 5 and 6’3 feet tall.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• I LOVE LOVE my Boba!!! I love that it’s stretchy and breaths, unlike the moby.
• Boba Organic is comfortable. It has long straps to accommodate larger body sizes without extenders. It’s nice to be able to front or back carry comfortably.
• I loved our Boba, mostly because it was the only one I could find that both fit AND was slightly stretchy. I loved the t-shirt like material and that it fit dad, too. I’m 5’9″ and 450lbs, daddy is 6’4″ and 450lbs, and it was plenty big and comfy.
3. Didymos
Plus Size Information
Sizing goes up to XXXL.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• I don’t leave home without my Didymos.
• Didymos come in all ranges of greatness. Lots of love for a great range of options in terms of weave and colors.
• Didymos, the first wrap brand. Pretty much anyone can find a Didy to love as they come in all varieties. No one thing can describe all Didys; there are just two variables! I own several Didys and have owned several that have since found new homes.
4. ElleVill Wrap Baby Carrier
Plus Size Information
Tails 50cm long.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• Great for beginners, thin and soft! A wonderful option for plus size moms.
• Love my Ellevill wrap and my daughter does too.
5. Ergobaby
Plus Size Information
Ergobaby carriers fit parents of most sizes!
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• Ergo is easy to use and the weight limits are high.
• I love the Ergo because my baby calms instantly when I wear him in it and I love that I can wear it front or back depending on the need. It’s so comfy, too, and doesn’t squish my large breasts!
• Ergo is perfect for plus-sized mamas and actually feels stable and supportive. It’s just a few clicks before you’re ready to go and is very user-friendly.
6. Gracie and Sam Handcrafted Carriers
Plus Size Information
The Tween Tot carrier fits up to a size 26 and additional length can be added to the waist strap for no additional charge. The mei tai style carrier’s size limit can vary from size 18 – 26.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
As a larger mom, it was such a relief to not only feel like a carrier would fit but that I would feel comfortable wearing it for an extended period of time.
7. Infantino Carrier
Plus Size Information
The straps can be adjusted to allow for different size parents.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• I love our Infantino because it has really grown with our baby, plus my husband and I can both wear it. We take our baby on errands, hiking, chores around the house, everywhere in it!
• We love our Infantino it keeps baby close, fits me well, and versatile enough dad can wear her too!
• I love our Infantino! I’m a size 18 and have plenty of room left in the straps. My little man loves this carrier too. My only complaint is I wish the shoulder straps were wider.
8. Maya Wrap
Plus Size Information
The XL should fit people of most sizes.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• The Maya wrap is great for plus size mamas because it’s adjustable, comes in different sizes, and is comfortable!
• The Maya wrap is inexpensive and the xl gives me plenty of tail left over.
• Maya wrap all the way! Super comfy and convenient. Small and portable. Pocket makes taking off nearly empty-handed totally possible. Daddy friendly and good for newborn thru the duration of toddlerhood.
9. Mei Tai Baby
Plus Size Information
The optional snap tab extender is available for those who would like incremental adjustability.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• Love my Mei Tei. But as a plus sized mommy with large breasts, I have a tough time double wrapping the straps like they were designed to.
• I loved my Mei Tai for my babies. It was a great wrap because I’m a big girl and hubby is not so big but it is easy for both of us to use and very secure for baby to be in.
• Mei Tei is simple and easy to use and adjust. Not very comfortable for heavier babies. Easy to nurse in. Not having padded straps makes for long-wearing uncomfortable
10. Moby Wrap
Plus Size Information
The Moby Wrap is 5.5 meters long and will fit larger parents. When wrapping, you would simply tie a knot at your back. For our customers who prefer extra length, an extra long Moby Wrap (6 meters) can be purchased.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• We loved the Moby when our son was younger! It had a nice stretch for maximum comfort but was also secure. Great alternative to carrying a bucket seat everywhere!
• Moby Wrap takes the pressure off and evenly distributes baby’s weight on your body. It has many positions.
• I loved my Moby Wrap when my son was a sleepy newborn. I was worried that it wouldn’t fit at first (I am a size ~26), but it fit with some extra fabric even!
11. Tula Baby Carriers
Plus Size Information
There is a lot of adjustment in the straps to allow for different size parents. Be sure to review the measurements for the type of carrier you’re interested in purchasing.
Plus Size Babywearing Reviews
• I’m a size 22/24 and LOVE my Tula. I even have extra room with the straps.
• Tula is the most comfortable carrier I own.
• I own many carriers but my Tula is my go-to!

I’m due in April with my first and I’ve been looking forward to babywearing! I can’t wait!!!! Thanks for the great resources– this makes registering so much easier 🙂
Due in May with my first. not really sure which direction we are going in baby wearing.
By the way, your blog is extremely awkward to navigate on a mobile device. I can hardly see to enter the contest and had to reply to someone in order to comment. for some reason my android won’t let me enlarge the screen any and the article runs off the side.
My favorite wraps are Kokadi and Oscha definitely. I love something cushy but supportive for my toddler and hopefully a new rainbow baby soon here!
thanks for this fantastic post! I am digging the Moby and the Boba carriers!
I love my Moby
Thanks for this awesome post! I have found it difficult to find babywearing options for plus size people so this will help tremendously in my search for the perfect carrier(s). Do you know of any plus size wrapping tutorials?
Wrapsody Breeze!
Thanks for the wonderful guide. I’ll post this helpful link to more baby wearing sites!
It would be such a blessing to win one of these carriers or wraps! I have only ever tried an infantino but my dream is a Kindercarry or Boba!
I love my Boba and my eing sling. 🙂
Im a plus size and so is my husband our little guy weighs 24lbs is there a ring esling that would be comfortable carring him in i would prefer facing out or on my side or back
My favorite wraps are Didymos wraps, but all have great qualities and are good for different families. 🙂
I am looking forward to trying my Moby wrap when my baby arrives in March!
My first is due in May and I can’t wait 🙂 We definitely are going to babywear, but it’s tough knowing which one to pick.
The ergo has been the perfect carrier for my husband and I. Now that we have baby #2 on the way we need 2!!!!
I’ve tried different carriers, and so far I like the Moby, but I’d love to try the Kindercarry carrier!!!!
I am very interested in the Moby and the ergo
I LOVE babywearing my twins! I currently use the moby at the moment…I am looking into purchasing a Beco as I have never tried an SSC and would love the ease of use.
Thank you so much for all that you do! It takes a world of love to create this safe space for us plus size mommas online and you have done a beautiful job 🙂
How awesome! What great info!
I loved my Moby when I first had my little girl, now she’s a hefty 2yr old and I find myself always reaching for my Storchenwiege. I love it! It’s sturdy but soft, comfortable and so versatile!
Love the boba and my homemade stretchy wrap
I’m currently using a ring sling made by Jan at Sleeping Baby Productions. She does AMAZING and is very size friendly.

My favorite plus size baby carrier would have to be my size 7 storch wrap. 🙂 Good for so much!
Love our ring sling but I feel like I NEED a Kinderpack!! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!!!
I love the babyhawk mai tei!!
I love my bloo kangaroo mei tai! It was one of my first carriers. It had really long straps and goes around me and the little one with plenty of strap left. I’ve just started learning about wovens and can see how great they would be for plus size moms. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great carrier!!
Moby Wrap is my favorite so far!
So excited!!
Sorry hit enter too soon. I have only had a chance to try a Moby.
I love my toddler sized bloo kangaroo! It fits both me (size 16) and dh (280 and 6’2″) comfortably!
loved my beco gemini!
Probably my favorite plus size babywearing item is a standard ring sling with unpadded rails (as the vast majority have now). They are easy to adjust, go between different sized wearers easily, and commercially available models will fit most women up to 24 easily.
My Kinderpack is by far my favorite carrier for my almost three year old!
love my maya wrap ring sling
Kinderpacks are awesome!
i love my sbp RS! I have an 8 week old and it’s working great for us. I also Love my half buckle by two mommas designs. My first carrier and I can’t wait for my little guy to fit it.
Using a sbp RS right now with my almost two month old but I also love my two mommas designs half buckle. I’d love to try a wrap. <3
Awesome and totally helpful!!! Thanks so much!!
I haven’t had the chance to try any wraps yet… can’t wait to try 🙂
I am loving the Moby wrap and I can’t wait to use one with my future child! Thank you for this post as I definitely want to baby wear!
I’m new to babywearing, so I don’t have a favorite yet! I’m hoping I’ll get to try a new carrier out!
I love woven wraps and kinderpacks!
My favorite carrier would be my didymos wraps!!
My favorite carrier is my Infantino Sync Wrap, though my WCMT is slowly taking its place as my favorite!
I’m a wrap freak… Love the longer varieties that are becoming available thanks didy and elleville
I absolutely LOVE WCMT carriers and woven wraps. They are beautiful, versatile and can fit pretty much any size!
Love this article and site! As a plus size mother it has been so insightful, inspiring and helpful!
I would love to try either one of the carriers I’m excited to win didy or elleville
We love our ergo sport!
Would love a bigger tie wrap. My ergo is awesome though, never leave home without it!
I love my sling for most every day uses 🙂 My favorite is maya wraps
Gosh…I would love to try a woven
I loved this post!!
Well so far i’ve only used my DIY mei tai and ring slings.. love them both equally!
I love this webpage its so helpful. Now I just have to decide which one is best for me (:
I love your website, such a great resource for fluffy mamas!!! and hey who doesn’t love a giveaway?
I love my wraps and my Tula!
I love my Beco-allowed me to easily strap on my big boy and walk for hours 🙂
I’m using a sbp RS right now but am limited to one carry that I feel comfortable with. I’m looking forward to trying more once LO grows a bit. 🙂
Love the update and all of the options presented! I’m so thrilled to be one of the models, too!
Posted too soon, my current favorite carrier is my Kinderpack 🙂
I have the beco butterfly but was looking to add another wrap. Thanks for the great resource and giveaway!
I wish i had something like this with my daughter!
So excited to read these reviews! I tried a homemade Moby wrap with my first baby and it just didn’t work. Expecting Baby #2 in March and would love to win a great new carrier for her! 🙂
I have a Baby Hawk custom mei tai which I love for around the house or a quick trip to the market. I have tried several carriers from the lending library at my local babywearing group, and have found the Kinderpack to be the most comfy for extended periods. I would love to win one! 🙂
I love my Beco Gemini for plus size babywearing.
I like my Beco Gemini.
I used a Boba SSC with my younger son. I loved it!
I am pictured here for both Didymos and Oscha wraps, woven wraps are by far my favorite carriers! They have a bit of a learning curve but are completely portable, adjustable, and comfortable for any size!
I’m due with my first in Feb, and I hear lots of great things about Ergo and Mei Tai. Can’t wait to try one out myself and wear my baby! 🙂 Thanks for all the great reviews.
I haven’t been able to find a carrier that works for us. I have a ring sling but H is 11 months old and is very interestedinterested in our surroundings and not being stuck to momma. I wonder if he just doesn’t like it, period? Even as a noob he wasn’t interested. Anyway – I’m looking forward to trying any and all carriers.
LOOOOve kinderpack!
Thank you SO much!!
I didn’t baby wear with my first, who is almost 20 months old – but I really hope to with my second – we plan on TTC by Spring 2014!!! 🙂
I like the Maya wrap
I like the Boba carrier and baby hawk but would like to try others
I love my moby and ergo!
This is an excellent review – I especially love the personal testimony! I have been baby wearing using a K’Tan and I LOVE it! I recommend baby wearing to everyone 🙂
I am due with #2 in December. With my daughter, I used the Moby. I had no idea all of these other options were available (I’m a size 4x). I would love to try out some of these other carriers!
I love my Moby Wrap. It was great when my little guy was smaller. I just got a Boba Organic ssc and I like it. I tried on a Baby Hawk and it was nice. My little guy went from fussy in the umbrella stroller to happy in the carrier as soon as I put it on. I can see myself becomming a baby carrie/wrap collector because of all the choices in colors and styles.
I really like the mei tai that I made myself but would love to try wrap.
I am in love with the ergo!
The Tula is my favorite or so I thought!
Our first it’s due in April and I’m just starting to research what kind of carrier or wrap to get. Definitely looking forward to babywearing!
I haven’t used any wraps yet, but I love my evenflo carrier!
I’m due with my first son in February so I don’t have any experience baby wearing yet…but I can’t wait! I do have a sister who just had a baby in August though and she LOVES her Moby wrap, so that is what I am going to try first
I’m not a mom yet, but we’re TTC at the moment. So I don’t have a favourite carrier yet, but I’m hoping I will soon be a mom and have a chance to find out which one I like best!
I made my own wrap carrier for my son, and I loved it but now he’s getting so big, it uncomfortable to carry him. I’ve been lusting after an ergo or a babyhawk. I’m dying for one!
My favorite has to be the Ergo. It’s so versatile and easy to switch between users 🙂 A close 2nd is the Maya Wrap RS-great for those newbie days!
My favorite two carriers are my Ergo performance and my size 7 cotton/linen Didymos Vogels! 🙂
We are trying to prepare ahead of time for a baby. We will be starting to TTC at the end of the year.
My favourite is my natibaby turquoise and pink dandelions but I don’t have many carriers or much experience.
I lovvee my Oscha RS and my Ergo!! 🙂
I love woven wraps but I’d really like to try a kinderpack especially because I’ve heard great things about them for carrying heavy toddlers and my 3 month old is already 16 lbs and 26 inches long!
My favorite plus sized baby carrier (so far) is the Ergo Performance. The waist extends quite far and the curved shoulder area makes for less underarm rub.
My favorite is my babyhawk mei tai. I just got an oh snap but I’m still getting the hang of the fit.
My favorite of these is just a general wrap- most versatile. That, and my Kinderpack!
We have alot of plus size mamas in my local group, and I have gotten feedback that wraps are so nice for plus sized because they are customizable and don’t create a big belly bulge. (My sister in law is plus sized and I’m excited to show her that she doesn’t have to be thin to have a baby and to wear it! Thank you for this post!)
My favorites are my Oscha wrap and my Boba SSC!
Love babywearing, but cant afford most wraps. This would help us so much!
I’ve only tried the Moby and some structured carriers. I am looking forward to trying new types with my second son!
I LOVE my Babyhawk!
I love my ergo and I’m getting into wovens too. I like the versatility of the wovens, once I learn more that is! Haha
I love the Moby Wrap for my 7 month old twins… I’d love to find a wrap or two that I could use for both of them 🙂
Fingers crossed I.win! Hendrix would love these
So excited about this giveaway!
I love how there is resources like these for plus size moms. This is great
I teach a babywearing class and will be using this blog as a reference for all the plus size mamas that attend!
I have a moby wrap. I have had my eye on the Mei Tai though!
I have never tried any plus size wraps or carriers and I’m really excited to try one. I will let you know which is my favorite when I know 🙂
Im not sure what my favorite baby carrier is! Didnt get to try any with my daughter. I am now due in January and am looking at all my baby wearing options!
I have seen so many women with the Moby so its something im looking to invest in.
I have not tried one yet but would love to
I think the k’tan or the moby would work best for me– they seem flexible.
I was so excited to buy an Ergo with the waist extender only to discover that they’ve stopped making them. Which for this plus sized mama (24) means I’ve gotta take my business elsewhere.
I want to try baby wearing but I’m worried I will be to hot?
Kimberly it can get a little warm but not as sweaty as you’d imagine.
I’m a size 26/28 before baby, about 385 lbs. wondering if there is a baby carrier big enough for me? Registering on amazon.
Tula might be a great fit for you! Here’s a plus size mom’s story about babywearing and why she loves Tula. The benefit of purchasing on Amazon is their return policy if it doesn’t fit – https://plussizebirth.com/embrace-babywearing/
