Figuring out what I want to move to...

Discuss

Baby is 11 months old, a bit over 18lbs, 27ish inches.

I have a ring sling and love it, but my girl pops her seat haha. She first tried at 2 weeks old. She doesn't even dislike the ring sling, she just wants to move.

An ergo something, I dislike the thick waist.

I also have a catbird baby pikkolo, which I wear as an H back and i think waterfall style. We're both fairly comfortable in it. But as she's gotten taller I've had to let the waistband sit a bit lower. I also suspect that the waistband is slowly loosening while wearing it, but minimally.

But, so, the point is that I have an issue with my back and the carrier is starting to sit just low enough that after an hour or so I can feel that area of my back starting to hurt.

At my natural waist, or even slightly above, no pain but dropping it a few inches becomes an issue. Thick waistbands like the ergo doesn't help either.

I'm considering an onbuhimo but she LOVES to pull my hair lol.

What type of carrier has the highest seated waistband? Apron? Waterfall? She's not a patient baby so while a wrap might be nicest for comfort I suspect she'd be wiggling the whole time.
