rec your sling/carrier

gobigblue

i'm imagining #2 will spend a lot of time in one of these.  i have a carrier i used w/ DD, but it's not very comfortable.  what's your fav?

I have about 8 different carriers...but plan to use my stretchy wrap (Gypsy Mama) the most when baby is newborn, and then a SSC (soft structured carrier, either my Patapum or AngelPack) the most when he/she is a little bigger.

We also have a couple mei tais and one pouch sling.

just on gathering other baby wearing mama's advice we decided to go with a Moby to start (which sounds like a Gypsy mama mrstice mentioned as it is a stretchy wrap) and something like a BabyHawk after that - we're just trying to find a pattern in the Hawk that DH and I would both wear. We had a BabyBjorn last time but it was not comfortable and DS outgrew it by like 4 months or something ridiculous...

I mostly use soft structured carriers and sometimes Mei Tais (but not as often anymore since DS wants up and down too often to fuss with the straps).  And I have one ring sling for the newborn stage.

I love it.  Plus when I e-mailed them with a question they gave me a discount on my purchase - tremendous coustmer service.

And, a Beco Butterfly:

OK customer service... I had to return my original because they had a issue with some of the straps.  It took a while to get the new one.  Now that there is no issue I love it...

We love the Ergo carrier  -- so much DH and I used to fight about who would carry DS in it when we went out   We had the Bjorn -- which is fine  up to 4 months...then DS got heavy and it was killing our backs!!  The Ergo is wonderful!

We LOVE our Ergo! I plan on making a moby-like wrap for the newborn stage

I already have an Ergo, Bjorn & hotsling for DS.  I plan on also getting a Moby for this LO.  I hated the hotsling.

Ok, this is going to sound like an incredibly dumb question but, I am interested in buying a sling this time around (2u2) but I'm scared...how does the baby not fall out?
