best slings?

[crissy]

I have the moby wrap and like it and used it alot when Matthew was an infant and smaller, I also used the baby bjorn alot but now at 8mo he is 25 pounds and the baby bjorn is out and the moby takes to long to turn into a sling when you have a ....demanding...child waiting.  Any comments on good, easy to use slings for the larger child?  Thanks

I HIGHLY recommend the Ergo (www.ergobabycarrier.com). Things I love about it:


-comfortable for both mom and baby
-supports baby in a more natural, sitting position
-super high weight limit (I'm not sure what the official limit is, but I was able to carry my 3.5 year old daughter a short distance in it!)
-option of putting baby toddler on your front or back, or hip
-excellent resale value (I bought mine for around $100, used it for a couple of years, and sold it for $75)


Things I don't like about it:

-The price - usually around $90-$110
-That the baby can't face outward.  The company says they do this intentionally, as experts don't recommend babies face outward due to too much stimulation (they say babies should always have a way to turn away from stimulation). I can totally understand that. But, sometimes I wished I had the option to put Sammy facing out.

Hope this helps!
