Best Baby Carriers for a Bad Back

Julie from Atlanta recently contacted us for help finding a baby carrier. She has a bad back. With her baby at 3 months old and 16 lbs, she already has a hard time carrying him. She currently has a Baby Bjorn baby carrier, but finds that it is really uncomfortable. So what should she choose?
There are a couple of baby carriers that would probably work for Julie, but our first choice is a woven baby wrap, such as those by Ellaroo. Baby wraps are very versatile and can be worn on your front, back, or hip. Stretchy wraps are more affordable, but for back carrying or using past 6 months a woven wrap is more supportive. They are a great choice for bad backs, and will provide the most comfort while babywearing. You can even tie your wrap around the area where your back aches for extra support.
