I will definitely be investing in both carriers. I'll get the moby first... and not buy the ergo if I don't find that I use it a lot. A gf of mine used both all the time. She and her husband LOVED "wearing" their lil girl and she did so often around the house and outside the home as well.

I plan to get an ergo baby as well as wrap and will wear it around the house. My husband is west african and they wear their babies a lot and are able to do every chore imaginable whilst doing so. So I plan to so the same

I thought I would do a lot more babywearing than I actually did. I think that's mainly because I didn't really like the Moby (I probably just didn't put in enough time fiddling/practicing with it to get comfortable with it), and I hated our "hotsling," and while I liked the Baby Bjorn, we didn't inherit it from a friend till DS was a couple months old. So I didn't have any carrier that I liked for that early period.
Now we use the Ergo a lot (DS is 8 months). DH will wear DS while he does chores (vacuuming, raking leaves, etc.), we use it a lot at restaurants (it seems to often calm DS down and/or put him to sleep), and I use it all the time when I go shopping (I can't wrangle a stroller and a shopping cart, so I love being hands-free with the Ergo). And when we're out and about (on a hike, at the farmer's market, at a museum, running errands...) we probably favor the Ergo more than a stroller too.

I don't have those, I have an Infantino. I wear her everytime we go out of the house. Just easier than that damn carrier. Quicker too.

I don't wear her in the house though. For dishes and stuff, if Papa Bear doesn't have her, she's in a swing or bouncy seat.

I too have the Ergo but mostly use it out of the house. It stays in my car!

We don't have a LO yet, but I just wanted to jump in here to say that DH constantly talks about how much he's going to carry our baby around in a baby carrier. He wants them facing out so they can see everything, and just the other day he mentioned that he's going to have to start eating a bunch of jelly so when it plops onto baby's head and can lick it off. lol *shaking my head* silly DH...

If I had the moby when DS was newborn, I would have worn him all the time. As it was, he slept alright and I didn't mind chilling in the recliner watching netflix or sleeping while he slept on me. That made up a good chunk of my maternity leave and it was wonderful.

Now I have a Boba, and use it mainly when we are out and about, or when DS is fussy due to being sick or teething and won't sleep. He's 8 months and 22-23 pounds, so holding him for a long time gets my arms burning.

I'm planning on getting the baby k'tan. It's not a lot of fabric lot the moby and I've heard that it's a great carrier. Good for if you want to breastfeed as well.

I tried it on the other day and liked the way it felt... now just to find a baby to try it with. lol

The owner of a boutique here had the k'tan until baby was older and then moved to the ergo... she didn't like the ergo for baby when baby was little.

We have a Bjorn that we have mostly used when travelling. LO really likes it now that they are facing outwards and can see everything. I keep meaning to do more babywearing but I never quite manage it. I also have a sling ( can't remember the brand ) that I hope to use more now that LO is a little older and I can kind of carry him on my hip in the sling.

I was given an ergo this weekend from my friend. Momma's with an ergo, did you get the infant carrier or did you use it more when your LO got older?

I plan to get the infant insert so I can use my ergo sport from the begninng

I only used my front pack with DS a couple times. It was a pain because of all the clips and stuff. I hated my wrap. He looked uncomfortable and I felt like he was going to fall out. I also didn't want to carry him around the house all the time because when I worked at a daycare, one mom did this, and we could never set her son down without him screaming. I didn't want that to be my child!

I wanted to baby wear & used the Moby a little bit when DD was first born but hated trying to mess with putting it on! To be fair, after doing it a few times, it is actually pretty easy, but with a newborn I just couldn't get into it! At around 4 months I started using our Ergo a LOT & I just love it! I use it in the late afternoons/early evenings just before I put her down for the night...it's usually before DH is home & I am trying to clean up & make dinner. It did take awhile for my daughter to warm up to being in it, but now she loves it & it soothes her
