Diaper Swappers

I need recs for an SSC for a heavy 11 month old (29lbs) with a wide seat where the straps can cross in the back, a la Beco Gemini, which he is almost outgrown. So far I'm leaning towards a Manduca or Onya. Any other suggestions? TIA

Beco 4g? I use that for my 2 1/2 yr old... It goes over 40 lbs I think. I haven't tried the ones you mention. I have crossed straps in a kanga as well

I loved our Babies Beyond Borders SSC. So much so that I ended up buying three of them actually! It has been a few years.Not sure if they are still made but those were the best fitting and most comfortable of all we tried.

Babies Beyond Borders is still made, and cheap as anything too. Very popular in our babywearing group! Seconds are less than $50.

Action Baby Carrier! I have 2 and LOVE them! They now have a toddler size too. I plan to order one very soon

My baby is 17 months and 32 pounds. I can still wear him in the standard but the toddler size will support him knee-to-knee better
