CARES harness question

She's too big to wear.

Have you tried an Ergo or Boba using a back carry? I am able to comfortably carry my HUGE 3 year old (probably about 42lbs and 43") using the Boba. You could get one on loan from your local babywearing/API chapter.

I have a Boba. I'm not sure she'll tolerate being in it. Maybe I'll try it out around the house and see how that goes.

I was going to sell it soon. Maybe I should give it a whirl before I do. I've never used it to back carry, though. Is that a tough age to use it front carrying? My carry on is a backpack... :)

The way I get my 3yr old to get in the Boba when he's resisting is to offer him a "horsey ride" and I gallop around a few times after I get him in there. You can repeat if LO gets fussy. :)

I would just wear the backpack on the front of your body. Or if you have a cross body bag that would be ideal.

With my son's size I don't like doing a front carry because he's in the way! I can barely see around him. Plus he likes being able to see too, and with the back carry he can look around more freely.

I think you will love using the Boba in the airport. It's a breeze going through security - I've never even had to take LO out of the Boba, I just walk through while wearing him. The sights and sounds of the airport will hold LO's attention and keep her from getting too antsy.
