  I like a mei tai, but that still has the long straps to tie. If you like the moby once it's on, the k'tan is similar but without the length. Or you could go for an Ergo and an infant insert; you'll use that for up to a couple years and it's very comfy, but pretty hot with the insert.

  My pick is an infantino wrap-and-tie (aka sash) for newborn, ergo and ring sling for later.

  Would it be crazy to get two? I've been looking at the infintino mei tie and I think I would like it for here at home. But I also like the ergo. The mei tie is so inexpensive that I can't see the harm in getting both.

  I have the Beco Butterfly II.  I also have the Gemini for DS2.  I would be happy to lend you the Butterfly for as long as you need it.  We don't use it.  And it has the newborn insert.

  To my boys:  I will love you for you Not for what you have done or what you will become I will love you for you I will give you the love The love that you never knew

  I have a Baby Bjorn and love the ease of putting it on and taking it off. I haven't figured out how to nurse in it yet though.

  I love my ring sling! It's perfect for around the house and for quick trips in and out of the car because it folds up small and is quick and easy to put on. They're not super speedy either, so, IMHO a RS and an Ergo would be a perfect combo.

  Well Drea beat me to suggesting my siggy link to learn about options  But I'd also add it's worth seeing if you have a group near you to try stuff on before you buy.  Mei tai would be my first choice for quick and suitable for a young baby.
