Sling Type

Best type of sling for a 2 almost 3 year old?

I was wondering does anyone have any adivice for a sling that is for a 2 almost 3 year old that is 22 pounds and is not walking yet. She is getting to heavy to carry.
She has Cerebral Palsy. She was born at 24 weeks. She has a wheelchair and goes to therapy but sometimes I don’t want to use her wheelchair like when shopping.

Hi there! I absolutely LOVE my Ergo carrier. Every friend I have that has tried mine goes and gets one. They are on the pricier side, (Maybe $90) but they last for years! My daughter is 18 months, has been in it since 3 months–and will be in it for a long time! (she’s over 22 lbs) I think it may even go to 60 lbs? or something crazy like that…It is a soft shell backpack (or frontpack for an infant…) that is VERY comfortable, and ergonomically correct for you, and your child. You may even be able to get one on ebay, but check out the directions on the “ergo” site. They even have video.

Good luck! I promise you’ll love it!
