Need a breathable baby carrier- suggestions?

I'm just back from a trip to the zoo and I wore DS in my Boba wrap. Holy sweatballs batman. It's only about 70 here and LO and I were really overheated after just 20 minutes. I have the original Ergo, but I'm thinking that may even be too warm come summer. Can anyone recommend a carrier they like that's lightweight? TIA

    Loking forward to answers on this! I have a k'tan which I LOVE but the other day was around 70 degrees and although he was still happy, I was a sweaty mess! Is love something for summer so we can be outside to play with dd! Although maybe my current one will help me sweat out some remaining pregnancy weight!!

  • Moby is very hot! If you like the idea of wrapping I would suggest a woven wrap. They don't run as hot as jersey material. If I had to pick one wrap it would be a Didymos Hemp Indio. They come in a bunch of different colors. The other suggestion I would make is a linen ring sling. Like from Sleeping Baby Productions. Or you can get a Mai Tei if budget is an issue. I personally love my woven wraps.

    Thanks! I have a sakura bloom sling that I love and used when my DD was about a year old but I can't seem to figure out how to get the newborn in it comfortably despite the many You Tube videos.
