Carrier/Wrap/Sling Roccommendations for Hip Carrying

I used a K'tan when DD was tiny, and now we love our ERGO when we are out and about, but I feel that she is too little to wear on my back in the ERGO (she is only 13.5lbs at 7 months.) Anyway, she is a high need/velcro kid that demands to be held/carried around. I would love to have a carrier that would position her on my hip so that I can get things done around the house. It is just too difficult to work around her when she is in the ERGO.

So, I am looking for suggestions/recommendations for a carrier that wouldprovide a comforatble and secure hip carry. 

Thanks.

    I've used a ring sling for DD on my hip ever since she was about 7 months. She's 18 months now and I'm 36w pregnant and still use it.

    If you're looking for something more like the ergo you could get a scootababy https://www.scootababy.com I've heard good things about it but haven't ever tried it myself.

    Thanks for the response. I have wondered about using a ring sling, but wasn't sure if I would be able to use it long term or if it provides enough back support for younger babies in this type of position. Sounds like it could be the answer.

    I'd agree that a RS is a great option!  I still will pop DS into one occasionally and he will be 3 in May.  He doesn't like to be worn for long anymore...and I don't think I would be physically up for wearing him in the RS for  a long time anymore- but was great when he was younger and is still useful at times now :)
