    I loved my ring sling. I know people who love the ergo and the hug a bub also. There are lots of good ones depending on what you want.

    Close Carrier!!!!!!

    Without a doubt. And I've tried a LOT of carriers.. LOL

    After that - I have only two other carriers, a half buckle Beetlebum, and a full buckle Beetlebum - everything else has been sold off

    I have an Ergo, and it is great!!! The weight sits on your hips not your waist which is awesome cause I have a really bad back and it doesn't hurt me to wear it!! You do need to have an insert to use it for newborns, which I find is totally fine.

    There is a sport version too which is lighter material!

    I'm another ERGO lover.....DD is always super happy in it and both DH and I are happy to wear it for long periods of time. It's very comfortable. I am not sure I will use it as my newborn sling and will probably get something else for when the baby is really little but after 3 months - ERGO all the way!

    I have a Close and I do love it, but it's a bit unbearable on some of these hot Brissy days.
    DH loves the Ergo, we use the insert with no problems.

    But my absolute favourite is the mei tai. As cool as the Ergo, as comfy as the close, and far and away the easiest one to go out for dinner with.

    I used my close carrier from newborn until just under 4 months. Then we moved into the Ergo Classic.

    Love them both (so much so that I bought a black close carrier to go with my winter baby!)

    I had a bubzilla for DD as a newborn but didn't like it that much, so for DS I went a Hug a bub and loved it. Very comfy, could wear it for ages, he slept really well in there, and DH liked to wear it too. As both of them got to around 4months old, I got a Catbird baby piccolo which I love too. Its a mei tei but with buckles. Very comfy, I can still wear DS on my front and he is coming up to 1year old. DH still wears DD in it on his back occasionally and she's a 15kg 2.5yr old.
