I have a Sakura bloom sling and I love it! But I would like one of these can't decide. Which one is most comfortable from baby to toddler?

It all depends on you. I don't find any of these options comfortable, many people do though. I will say the Gemini is very small bodied and won't last. The Soliel and Ergo are very similar. So really it all depends on fit. I'd try to find a Babywearing International near you to try them on.

I've used the Ergo in the past (once DD hit about 15lbs, it hurt my back), and now use a Soleil almost exclusively, because I like that I can cross the straps, and adjust how close in she is. I also lile it for the back carry. However, I think it's a really personal preference, so I second PP re: trying them on.

How big/old is your baby?  There are some companies that allow rentals out there if you want to try before committing to buy.

If you are under 5'2, you may want to rule out the Ergo. As a babywearing educator, I get that feedback from moms regularly and I find it true for myself, too. I like the Gemini and I do think it has a long-life. Baby won't have fabric spread knee-to-knee as long with the Gemini as with the other options, but the knee-to-knee thing is more important for younger babies anyway, since they lack muscle tone. I prefer woven wraps to other kinds of carriers, but if I must use an SSC with my kids in a pinch (and for teaching SSC use), I use a Beco Gemini.

When you look at a stock photo, you'll see the fabric folded at the top of the body. That unfolds to be a head support for a newborn or a nursing/sleep half-cover. I found this via Google images:

Thanks everybody for your opinions, I'm leaning torwards getting Gemini. Another curve I read babies grow out of them 6-12. Is this true??
