of the moment at our house is baby wearing and what style is best. Im jsut looking for a bit of experienced opinion for a first timer 
I want a Baby K'tan! I love them! Hubs says they are to risky and would prefer we invest the money in a "real" carrier... snugli or the like with structure...
What do the ladies out there think? preferences and personal opinions?
Thank you

Thank you
Moby: loved and used frequently until it became a bit warm.in the summer Also, they are only safe up to 15 lbs. Front Carries only.
Ergo: used the hell outta this. Fast, easy, comfortable, DS still likes it! Good to 35 lbs, I think. Front, hip, and back Carries.
Sling: very convenient for NIP, but hurt my neck, previous injury. I used it for going into restaurants to nurse while i waited for my food.
Bjorn: DH loved it, bit not terribly comfortable for anyone, and is a bit controversial.
Didymos: love, love, love! Cooler than anything else, versatile, and beautiful!

The ktan and moby.... I have no idea if I could get that on with a baby.... I'd be afraid that I would mess it up and baby would slide down my legs!
i got the Ergo.
Excellent, I didnt think my question was too confusing! Thank you! Ive not heard of the Didymos but will be checking it out now!
That is exactly what Hubby is worried about!
I have a Moby for when LO is small and an Ergo for when baby is a little older. I had a basic baby pack with my other LO's and really never used or liked any of them. Since moving to a new area and meeting many mothers that baby-wear, I have been told Moby and Ergo are the favorites around here.
Good luck!
I have a K'tan that I got for this baby for more hands free snuggling. I don't see myself using it for walks or that sort of thing. While I don't think it is unsafe at all, I do feel much more secure with the Ergo thus that was all I used last time. If you are only going to get one carrier, definitely go for the Ergo. For snuggles and nursing and newborn time, I think a K'tan is perfect. I know plenty of people love their Mobys but that thing scares me. I am too terrified I would do it wrong.
Clearly I definitely see your husband's side of things a bit more than others. At first the idea of wearing DD and expecting the carrier to keep her from falling was terrifying but the more I did it the better I got at it. This time I expect to love having my hands to juggle both kids.
We can be those people together! I have a moby, ergo, and ring sling. I'd have a k'tan except that It doesn't seem like my build is ideal for it (huge boobs, really really short torso). But I really want something in between. Thinking about trying a mei tai.
They're all good for different situations!
It was nice to read you have both the k'tan and the moby. I really wanted the k'tan and that is what I registered for, but someone gave me a moby. I didn't remove the k'tan from my registry when I got the moby, and now based on my registry stalking it looks like I'm getting the k'tan too. I was feeling guilty about getting both, so it's nice to hear that they have different benefits and are good for different stages.
