Those of you who have one...
Do you have just the regular one, with the criss-cross back, or the one with the additional lumbar support thing? I'm thinking the one with the lumbar support is the one we want, but it seems like it could be cumbersome. This is one thing we didn't get as a shower gift, that I think we'll want to get.
Any other carriers come highly recommended? (The Moby wrap or sling style ones aren't really for me, I don't think... probably just a "regular" carrier)

If $ isn't a factor for you then I say go for the bjorn. But we have the Jeep Carrier and I couldn't be happier. It was great for me to use and easy enough to adjust for DH to use too. Have fun picking it out. I miss picking out baby stuff.
Thanks! I've never seen one of these in person before..
If you wear it on your front, can the baby face out or towards you? I couldn't quite figure that out from the pics I found.
Also, I'm not sure how much I'd wear her on my back.. How hard is that to manuever? Do you put the baby in it, then strap it on your back?
Yeah, I just couldn't tell if, in the Ergo, if you wear it on the front, if the baby can face both forwards and backwards, or if they can only face your chest?
So the Ergo carrier seems pretty good. It can be used as a back, hip or front carrier. I was confused about the infant insert, but the woman at the store said it wasn't necessary and some do without or put a receiving blanket around the baby.?
It feels sturdy & is comfy on, but it has a strap that hooks at the top & bottom of your back. My friend was the one who modeled it for me, and she had trouble getting it on after strapped; And she couldn't strap it herself once on. Anyway I'm not entirely sold on it, I think I'll bring DH back to look. ?
