With DD#1 we didnt use our Bjorn or hotsling all that much, but now with 2 girls I def need a carrier for DD#2 I gave our Bjorn away b/c I never really liked it and my newborn doesnt seem comfortable in the sling yet. Ive heard the ergo carrier is good - anyone use that and how does it compare to the Bjorn?
Re: Best infant carriers?
I read this girls blog and she raves about her Moby Wrap and her BabyHawk.

I never used a carrier with DS either but know I'll need one with #2.
Liam is 5!
I would keep trying the sling. Kate and I took a while to master the Hotsling, but once I did she LOVED being in there. She was crunched up tight and would nap in there, hang out while I vacuumed, etc.
We also had a Bjorn (only liked it for a little while, then she was too heavy) and an Ergo. I loved the Ergo, but you'll need the newborn insert for a tiny one. I started using it when Kate was 7 months old.
A lot of people love wraps, and I might get one for this baby since they seem more secure than the sling, but they look pretty complicated to me!
