patapum baby carrier sale
Wallypop is selling off the rest of her patapum inventory for super cheap! We have this carrier and it's awesome for new babywearers (my mom always used it when babysitting) and for people who like the soft structured carriers. I find it much easier to adjust than an ergo.
Shea has converted from ergo to patapum. 
Go check it out - it's a super deal.

Finn's probably around 21 pounds? 22? I am still wearing him, mostly on my back. And I wore Oliver in the patapum the other day, actually!
(it's super easy for back carries, too)
Girl you must look amazing in a swimsuit. I bet your back is sculpted!

Girl, with a good SSC you can carry even the heaviest of babies on your back! I back-carried Neena's nearly 30 lb. cousin on my back and he felt light.
Neena is a peanut (18 lbs) but I still front and back carry her for long periods of time and I have no problems, and I'm not a strong person. :-)

what carrier do you have? if he's too heavy you probably need a different carrier or need to adjust how you use it.
I don't use anything right now. I have a mei tai that a friend has now (not sure how much weight that can hold anyway) and a baby bjorn that I only used a few times facing outward when he was smaller.
LJ is over 25 lbs. I wasn't sure any carriers were able to hold that. I know I can, I just want him to be 'safe'.
