Please recommend your carrier

Hi ladies, I'm a lurker who is very confused about baby wearing so I thought I'd ask before spending more $ for no reason.

My baby is 2 months old and 10lbs 8oz. I have a bjorn original which she likes for just about 10 minutes and only with me. Daddy can't carry her cos she will scream. It is also too hot for Florida (which could be fixed by buying the air version)

I also have a k'tan which she hates and I honestly find it too constricting (may have gotten the wrong size) and also too hot.

Please recommend a sling or carrier that is comfortable, safe and cool for the FL weather.

 TIA

    Check out NCBelle's babywearing guide here: https://www.becomingmamas.com/babywearing-2/   She does a great job of explaining the pros and cons of each carrier type as well as recommending specific brands.

    Thanks, great info on that site.

    I'm leaning toward a Mei Tai, anyone knows if it's too hot for summer?

    I just used my Mei Tai last weekend outside when it was 90 degrees...it was hot, but carrying your baby in anything in 90-degree weather is going to be hot!  I like Mei Tais when it's hot because your back isn't really covered, so at least part of your skin gets to breathe.  :)
