Hi. I've had every carrier out there and for toddler up boba has been the best for us. The 2.0 will carry him up to 45 pounds and it's cut with wider higher fabric to feel more secure with a bigger baby. I have two and really, could not live without them. I like the carriers like Gemini etc that you can hip carry but after 14 months or so it hurt my back. My back never hurts with the boba. We walk on the beach daily with it. I think you will be happy with it. The colors are not the best but I like tweet the best. Hope this helps!!!
