Can anyone recommend a infant carrier…..?
For a larger man. I am a very petite mom, but my husband is almost 6 foot 5 and weighs about 280 lbs. I tried a hip hammock for our older daughter but it didnt get around him. I had tried a regular used Bjorn and it didnt work either
Our new baby won’t be born til September but I want to get a infant carrier that can fit him also. I know he feels bad about it and want him too be able to carry the baby around and be comfortable
I have heard of a Bjorn XL. I am not sure if that means its for bigger guys. Does anyone have experience with this and have a carrier that has worked for their big and tall man?
Thanks
He did try some one. Most were not working. The hip hammock was not available to try on in the store. The Bjorn was used and given to us by a friend. I would never spend that kind of money on a infant carrier and not try it on. I buy most of my stuff resale
Wraps work well for any size though there is a bit of a learning curve. Though you may need one that is a 1/2 foot to a foot longer than the one for you. 
I’m 5′2″ and my hubby is big though not as tall as yours.
Also you can sew your own asian baby carrier or mei tei (basically the same thing) and make the straps longer. Which I have done as well. ABCs are very easy to use and very safe. Most moms worry about the knots coming ondone but trust me even if the knots come undone you have plenty of time to catch the baby! Sometimes I would untied it to try and loosen it a bit and I would end up jumping up and down for a few minutes trying to get it to budge and I would finally give up or have to take it off completely.
