What do you use to carry your LO? I'm leaning towards a ring-sling.....but I don't want to make another mistake. I love babywearing, so I want something that will be comfortable and easy to use. I love the moby, but have a hard time wrapping by myself.
Hoping to order this afternoon.
Thanks!
Re: kinda hate the moby.....what to try next
DD hates the Moby and any other sling-like carrier. She's a big, long girl, and I think she just doesn't feel secure.
We adore our Ergo. I really had wanted something less bulky for around the house, but it's the only carrier she likes and it works well. If she's in a drowsy but wants to be held mood, I can put her in it and she drops right off.
We never used the infant insert, btw. Just froggied her legs (still do, she prefers it) and made sure the whole thing was snug enough to support her head. I just check her breathing to make sure it sounds normal and that I can kiss the top of her head without bending down. Works great.
I have only seen a good deal on them once when they were on the baby steals website but that was just a one time thing. Amazon has them so not sure if they are ever on sale there. If you haven't ordered from diapers.com before, they have them and your first purchase is 20% off.
After two losses, third time was a charm.

There was one on Spots Corner on Hyena Cart under stuff for Mama's
I hated the Moby. I couldn't get it figured out! I do love the Ergo and the Beco Butterfly.
In case you are interested, I did a review including my hared for the Moby:

One thing to note is that there has been a huge influx of fake Ergos and other carriers on the market. Please be careful. The knock-offs are likely not made with the same level of quality which could cause safety issues. Not worth it.
Babysteals did have a great deal on them a few weeks ago. Babysteals has a website called Kidcrawl.com where Babysteals customers can re-sell items and their classifieds often include an Ergo or two.
Etsy has some great ringslings or pouches for cheap... I have the Beco and Moby but LO doesn't seem to like them very much. I put her Kangaroo carry (facing out) in a ringsling pouch and she loves it. I guess she prefers to look outwards ... hopefully she'll eventually like the Beco when I am comfortable with her on my back.
Ringsling/pouch is super quick to put LO in which makes it really convenient for short trips/errands
