Recom'd your carrier for 6 month old

CA_EAM

There are so many choices out there, please help me (sorry if this is asked a lot).  DS is nearly 6 months old and we have been enjoying our Moby a lot.  We also have a Bjorn but its just not comfy. (he's 16 lbs now, if that helps, but I would like a carrier that I can use for awhile)

Since I work full+ time I just love to wear DS as much as possible at home and out and about. 

Is the Moby enough, or are there better options for us?  The only draw back I see about the Moby is that even though I am effecient in using it, it can be tricky and because of its size I feel like it gets dirty more taking it on/off and storing it.

The moby is great for newborns, but not so much for older babies.  If you like the idea of wrapping, woven wraps are the way to go - they will allow you to back carry as well which is really nice with heavier babies/toddlers.  I have lots of info in my siggy.

Other good options would be a mei tai or a buckle carrier (like the beco or ergo).  Either of those will also allow you to do both front and back carries.

My dd is only 2 weeks old, but I did wear my ds until he got heavy and uncomfortable. We jsut got our beco and it is a wonderful carrier - very comfy for both of us. However, it does not have a forward-facing front option, which might be an issue for a 6 mo.

I highly recommend the beco.  I think it would be perfect for you.  If you like the idea of a wrap, that would be much better than the moby (more supportive), but if you aren't into the whole tying thing, then I would get a beco if I were you!
