I live in NC where we have hot humid summers, so am looking for a carrier we can use that won't be so hot.
My DS is 5 months old. I have a Moby, a Beco Butterfly II, and a SBP Ring Sling. By far, my favorite and the one that DS tolerates the most is the Moby. So thinking that I want another wrap, as the Moby is too hot to wear in the summer. I am looking at the Wrapsody Bali Breeze. Anyone have that who can let me know the pros and cons?..especially with regards to use in hot weather with a baby who will be between 6-11 months old. Also, is it's comfort level comparable to a Moby?
I have also thought about a Mei Tai, but since neither DS or I are loving the Beco Butterfly yet, I'm thinking maybe we should stick to wraps. Also, it's 50/50 whether DS will tolerate being in a carrier at any given time, so another reason I'd like to stick with a wrap is because they are generally less expensive. Don't want to put a lot of money into something DS won't use too often.
Any other options you'd recommend?
ETA: Also considering a Vatanai, but they seem to be significantly pricier than a Bali Breeze, and harder to find for sale. However, if a Vatanai is significantly better than the Bali Breeze, I would feel better about the price. But, like I said earlier, DS is not always up for being worn, so the price of the Bali Breeze looks better to me for that reason.

Where in NC are you? Lots of babywearing groups around (I'm in the Triangle) for you to try stuff on!
The Bali Baby Breeze is great and definitely cooler. It's very thin so you have to wrap carefully. Vats are about my favorite
