wrap/sling suggestions?

I have decided I officially hate strollers, and I would love to get something besides the cheesy infantino carrier I have (that is quite a snug fit for DS, who is 14.5 lbs). I am plus sized, also, so I don't know if there is a specific brand/type I should look for? I have been looking on etsy, but I thought I would ask the experts first. Thanks, ladies!

I got a cotton gauze wrap on etsy from lilpeeperkeepers and LOVE it.

I've mainly looked at ring slings and wraps, because they're so versatile. I'm really not big on the infantino one because DS does not like to face me anymore (boohoo) but I'm not super comfortable with him just facing out - I like the side carrying option. I might have just answered my own questions, lol.

I love slings! I think that might be a good choice for you if you looking for something quick.

We have  Moby but shes slowly hating it and I just ordered my first wrap and am so excited to try it out. I hear wraps are great, too.

I also have a Mei Tai on the way as well, Im curious how that one will work our for us.

I would suggest something that allows a back carry as well since your kiddo is getting bigger - a soft structured carrier (like the ergo or beco) is good if you like buckles, a mei tai (like the baby hawk is good if you want something that ties on) and woven wraps (not stretches like the moby) are great as well.  It's really personal preference as to what style works best.
