I planned on baby carrying most of the time. My child is a giant. Age 3 I can't even strap him in the stroller now because he is too big for the straps. I didn't get to carry him around because he has always been huge (He is 3 years and 8 months and 45 inches tall, the size of your average 6 year old boy).

My first kid was normal sized and I used a baby carrier quite often. I will say, I always woke him up getting him from car seat into carrier. It was easier to snap the carrier into the stroller of he was asleep and I didn't want to wake him up.

I am hoping to use a carrier for #3. #1 and #2 have different dad's though. I totally expect her to be an Amazon super model height. I will have a stroller to pop the baby carrier seat into when I don't want to wake her up.
