Will this backpack fit a big fat person? Seriously. It's for my mother-in-law - 270 pounds! Are the straps long enough? Thanks!

I think the straps should be long enough to work for you. There is about 1 1/2 feet of padded strap and then about the same on the adjustable web strap as well. She should have no problem in using this bag.

I am 6' 3 252 with wide shoulders. I wear a 3x t shirt and it fits me fine. The only problem I see if she puts more weight in it than she can carry.

I have bought this backpack as a gift for a woman who weighs 260 pounds, and she seems to be doing fine with it. I ahve walked with her to many photo site and she has not struggled with it, and she has never said it's uncomfortable. Having said that, everyone's body build is unique and there is no real way to determine if their arms and back will be comfortable. If you know someone else who could also be gifted the backpack if your mother-in-law doesn't like it, I would say it is worth the risk.

Yes, it's very versatile and good quality and it should fit you fine. The straps are adjustable and padded.

Can't answer directly, but I'll do my best - I have a 34" waist. With the strap loosened all the way, there is about a 6" gap between the buckle and my belly. This is the same frame and kidney pack I used in the Army and in my platoon in basic there was a guy that was about 6'3" tall and nearly 350 pounds and he had no problems.

Hi A220. You may find the Ergo a little large. There are quite a few adjustment options. The height of the connection between the shoulder straps can be adjusted (up and down the middle upper back). I found that I wished this would actually slide down lower. In terms of strap length - you could definitely tighten all around to suit your smaller frame. FYI I am 5'7" and around 145lbs. I would still recommend. I have read from other reviews of plenty of women 5'0" wearing them. Even after a long walk, I can feel tired carrying my little one. I think it's just the nature of carriers. Still far less if I had carried her for same distance &#128512;

We just put the top strap attached to the back pack w/o using the belt. The belt is about 48 inches at most, so I don't think it would fit around a hefty guy.

So im adult female. 5'3 and 100 pounds. My backpack weighed over fifty pounds.. it really did its job and it was great. I can see it working for any adult.. you would just have a much much much easier time carrying it.. the straps are very adjustable

This bag would definitely be comfortable for a larger person. The straps have a significant range of adjustment. It woukd be best to order in the large size, though the medium is still fairly spacious.

There is a lot of adjustment, but I'm 5'9" and 160 and u had to adjust it a good much to fit me. I think it would fit you with the straps all the way tightened. Its a good setup and I don't think you'll be dissapointed with the quality. I know I wasn't! I love it!

I put the backpack on my girlfriend (5'2" and small-medium build) and she mentioned that it fit like a normal backpack to her (which she liked - considering she normally wears smaller backpacks. She also mentioned that the bottom strap fit perfectly to her waist. So I am sure it would be better for someone a little taller. For me, as a 6'2" man of broader shoulders, I can say this backpack was a little small for me. It fit a lot into it, but it looked small on my body type. Hope that helps!

It's not a big pack compared to others. I'm 5'9" and find it comfortable. Can't really guess how it would work for you. I will say I love this backpack!

This carrier seems to fit larger people better. I'm 5'10" and 200 and I have the straps most of the way adjusted. I'd suggest trying on the Cotton Carrier in your local photo shop before considering this one.

It'll be too big. I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs and I'm going to need to cut and re-rivet the straps to have to make it fit right. There's simply too much material here for someone my size.

How much does your Doberman weigh? I have a young Swiss Mountain Dog mix that is very skinny and is built a bit like a Doberman. He weighs about 70lbs but he is very tall and lanky. We got him an Extra Large and we were able to adjust the straps down to fit him, though if he were too much smaller I don't think it would have worked. The straps have a lot of adjustability though and they would have supported a MUCH larger dog. Honestly, the Large size probably would have been a better fit for my dog and I would guess for yours as well. The straps allow for quite a bit of adjustment though, so you should probably be fine as long as you don't get small. Haha. I definitely recommend getting this backpack though, it really is great.

The straps are very adjustable. They have lots of room for lengthening. I personally think it would fit just fine.

Caitlin, The straps are pretty short. I do not believe it would work as an over the shoulder bag. Sorry I could not give a more positive response. It is still a really neat bag!!! Wanda

i think it would still be fine. i am a 6'1" woman and wear an xl often before being pregnant and then gained 60 lbs. i was wearing the bjorn soon after my munchkin was born. the carrier has adjustable straps. on a side note i am now using the ergo sport much more. it is for tall and bigger frames and works well :)

Definitely. It's all about the weight you're wanting to carry. The straps are long enough to fit pretty much anyone.
