Slings for Babywearing

I really want to get a sling of some sort for this baby but have no idea where to start! I have an ergo that I love but I was looking for a sling type carrier for when the baby is little and then to use on my hip as he gets bigger. I have a 2 year old so I'm assuming I will be unable to hold him as much as I did her but I don't want him sitting in a swing or bouncy all the time either. 

I'm sorry if there have been previous posts like this one! Any help is appreciated!

    I bought a baby k'tan, which is kind of a hybrid between a sling and a wrap, since you can wear it in multiple ways.

    I'd recommend a ring sling.  I had a Maya wrap RS and it was fine, but now I have a WCRS (wrap conversion ring sling) from Sleeping Baby Productions and it is super supportive.  I can wear my toddler comfortably and I know it will be great for a newbie.  Not sure if you're going to be BFing, but I found the RS to be the easiest to nurse in.

    I came across this do it yourself sling. It looks like it grows with the baby.

    I failed wraps but I have a Rockin Baby Pouch that is great.  It's like a Hotsling but the shoulder has zippers to change the size/tightness.

    I have a ton of different wraps, but my favorite and IMO most versatile one is my ring sling.

    Go to one of SouthSideDrea's posts and look at her blog - she is the babywearing whisperer and has a lot of info!
