Favorite newborn carrier?

I have a Beco Butterfly and Boba G3 carrier. I didn't get the Beco until DS1 was older and I probably only used the Boba G3 a handful of times with a newborn. I like both carriers for infants, but I was wondering if there's something better to wear newborns. With getting my older 2 off of the bus during maternity leave and also taking them to various activities, I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot more baby wearing early on.

I was considering either the k'tan or Moby wrap. Does anyone have experiences with any of these carriers? What did you think was best for wearing newborns?

I have both. I liked the k'tan because I didn't have to "wrap" and felt the baby was secure, however once I lost the baby weight it was too big since they come in sizes, and it was slow and steady weight loss so it really didn't fit well. The moby is great because it's stretchy and fits to your body. I liked it to wrap my twins and 1 baby, however, never felt like a pro and usually needed to readjust. I would love to continue to baby wear but the twins are 7 months so clearly I can't wrap and wear both without someone getting hurt at this point so I don't use it much anymore

I like the K'tan for the newborn stage, too. I don't know how good I'd be at figuring out an actual wrap, but this was similar, inexpensive, and baby felt secure.

I, unfortunately, didn't have the weight loss issue. Chat Icon But once baby got bigger, I used the ergo.

I liked the Moby for the first two or three months. It had a little learning curve just to get it not to loose or too tight but once I had a little practice it was quick and easy.
