I've been using an ellaroo sling for DD and loved it, but just this week my close carrier arrived - and I'm hooked! It is so easy to use and really comfortable to wear, and DD seems really relaxed in it and snoozes away. Best of all it feels really secure. I do think it could get quite hot to wear in warmer weather though. Not sure.
The new close carriers have flowers on the band too, but reversible so your DH doesn't have to wear it with flowers...several people have commented on it
