I tried a Manduca from the sling library and loved it, except that the wide waistband kept digging into my hipbones in the wrong way and I got very sore. I tried adjusting it to be higher, but the waist couldn't get quite tight enough to stay that way.
Now I'm trying a Connecta (Solarweave, as that's what the library has rather than the Integra), since it has a much smaller waist, which helps. But its shoulder straps don't adjust small enough for me to carry without the straps crossed, and I'd really like to be able to back carry rucksack-style. The person running the sling library thought the Beco Gemini would have this same problem for me.
I'm not all that short (5'5"), but am pretty skinny, especially since I haven't had time to eat enough cake since DS was born. DS is 6mo and tall.
Any ideas of other buckle carriers that work for small mums? Or do I need to head to the land of mei tais and woven wraps?
