I have a few. My favorite is my Maya Wrap ring sling. It's easy to use once your used to it and quick in and out. I also have a K'tan and DH has an Ergo with the insert. I wasn't a fan of the Ergo with the insert, and the K'tan was uncomfortable for me. I am also looking at getting a Beco Butterfly II cuz I love a soft structured carrier for later on. I would really consider the Beco for you as well or a ring sling.
I have a Boba carrier set to the infant hold and a K'tan. The K'tan is okay, but I feel like I can't get it tight enough (because they are loops of fabric). My sister is bringing her used Moby wrap over tomorrow and I'll try that. She swears by the Moby and the Boba.

I wore DS all.the.time starting at 1 week in the Ergo with the infant insert. (I have the sport version.) I now wear DD in the same carrier with the insert. If you have a baby store near you, I encourage you to go and try out the carriers they have. Most smaller boutique type stores will help you figure out how the different carriers and slings work (i.e. tying the moby, adjusting carrier straps, etc.). GL!
Im enjoying my snugglie i found it at a second hand childrens store. I woud suggest going t a childres store second hand or new and trying a bunch out. See what you like and what you dont. Im looking frward to receiving my ergo but i read it takes time to get the insert down
I've been wearing DD in the infant insert in my ergo carrier for the past two weeks walking to the mailbox and out at the playground with the toddlers... She loves it so far and it's super comfy to me. With my other kids I had a bjorn and definitely notice a huge difference with the ergo.
I have a bunch of carriers, mostly hand me downs. My faves are the Maya Wrap ring sling and moby wrap. The moby makes me feel pregnant again-LO is like part of me and I don't even notice the weight, I find it great for doing housework. The ring sling is soo easy to use and just slip her in, great for shopping trips or visits where you don't want people touching the baby. I find it hard on my back to do any bending or twisting with it, so i dont use it much in the house. I'm flying with LO later this month and I plan to use the ring sling in the airport. I also have a hotsling that I find too snug, a k'tan that I'm not comfortable with yet, and an ergo. The ergo is amazing compared to the bjorn (I used a bjorn with my friends son and it was uncomfortable for me and baby after an hour). I'm not fond of the newborn insert though, so I'll get more use from it when LO is a bit older.
