Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
I have the bjorn from DS#1 but I think I would prefer a wrap or sling this time around. Any suggestions for an easy to use one?

Re: Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
I have a moby, a bejorn, and an ergo.
The moby was great for when the twins were little. I really didnt use it much once I was not wrapping both of the twins. I just moved one of the carriers.
I really like the ergo!!!!

Someone from the boards suggested the baby k'tan its awesome. Its like the moby but without the wraping. We also have an Ergo but I use the K'tan more often. It gets easier with practice.

DD is 7 months and I still love the moby-although she's still only 16 pounds. I like it much better than the bjorn. I do have ergo envy though!

We used the Moby wrap. Never even touched the Bjorn. Once you get a handle on doing the wrap it's great.

Re: Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
we have a moby which I'm not a fan of (because of how hot i got while wearing it) but I do adore the Ergo (comfy,easy to wear, quick to put on). I picked up a used Jeep carrier for my husband and he really likes that as well.

Re: Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
I have the basic bjorn. It's great for newborns.
After a certain age... I think the ergo is GREAT. The only negative is that they face towards you. DD is a year old (almost) and loves it. Even DS at 2.5 fits easily into it. I've seen lot of dads use it backpack style (maybe if I had a calmer kid).

I used a Moby until he was about 5 months old and now we use the Boba 3G. I love it and I can carry either my 1 year old or my almost 3 year old. If you really enjoy baby wearing and want to do it often I say invest in a Moby and something like the Ergo, Boba, or Becko. FB has some babywearing pages also. Things like the Bijorn are really bad for babies hips and forward facing isn't good for them either. I believe the Gemini is the only carrier that does that beside the other cheaper ones. I also suggest looking at a b/s/t sight for a used carrier. You can get an Ergo or Boba for about the price of a Bijorn plus they are already broken in. I much prefer a carrier already broken in lol

Re: Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
Thanks so much for the tips everyone! I'd really love to try it on before purchasing. If I got to BBB do they let you try them or do I just need to buy and return? And I will def check out used once I figure it out! This is the last baby for me and I'd hate to spend alot!

Re: Sling/wrap/baby carrier suggestions
I've used moby, bjorn and ergo. Ergo is by far the best! Slings don't look comfy to me for some reasob
