I am a size 20, have a big chest & belly. I am trying to figure out what kind of baby carrier to get. I hear ring slings are good, but I am just wondering what other plus size women have used that they like.
Thanks for all the help!
I am talking about the backpacks versus the slings. Any specific brand work for you? Thanks!

Slings are so much easier. Those carriers are not designed for us, and with the boobs and belly in the way I always felt like I was suffocating my daughter. There was just no room. Not to mention it was embarrasing to wear because it was tight and chub stuck out all over from it. Stick with the sling, its much more comfortable for everyone
Baby carriers…. Do you mean like the car seat carrier or just the slings and backpacks and such?
I’m plus size as well. Varied between an 18 and 20 just after my babies were born. I’m also a DD in the chest. If you are referring to the slings and backpacks, a normal backpack style carrier worked well for me. You could carry baby on your back or in the front. I never had any issues since the straps are so easily adjustable. My sister got me a sling that was made for different sizes (could get small, medium, etc). It also worked well. You could use it for much longer too, so I really enjoyed it. I can still use it on my 18 month old son. You can position it so that they can sit on your hip and still be supported by the sling. Takes the load off my back. I suggest a sling. You’ll just have to shop around and see which one works best for you.
The moby wrap is a really long piece of stretchy fabric. It works great.
The mei tai carrier is also very versatile. It has very long straps that fit just about anyone.
I’m not plus size but my husband is and likes the Ergo carrier we have. We got the waist extension for it and it works great.
ETA: I am very heavy chested, H cup, and it’s comfortable in that area as well.
I am a plus size woman 16W, and I used just the regular baby carrier, where the handle is very plush. Sears, Walmart, and even ToysRUs, Just due to it being on my forearm alot, I wanted something that was thick and soft. Good luck.
