5: k'tan, moby, ring sling, ergo, onya.
Thinking about getting a tula.
we picked the k'tan and the onya, moby and ergo were hand me downs, ring sling was a gift. we've used all of them a lot except for the ring sling - I just can't get it to feel comfortable and secure.

Two ergos (one for DH, one for me)
A mesh bjorn (for before my kids fit in the Ergo, and for the nanny, who preferred it)
A really nice Osprey backpack carrier for hiking
If you have the finances and storage space, it's nice to have a carrier adjusted for each primary caregiver (and useful if you have a second baby close in age)
We used to have a Moby and a pocket sling, but I never got the hang of either with either child beyond the first few weeks, so I sold those.

3 - Maya ring sling, a Beco Gemini, and a Babyhawk mei tei. I LOVED my ring sling, but I haven't been able to use it in months because he's too curious and was constantly twisting around to see things and was killing my back. Along the same lines, he doesn't like to be FFI with the Gemini, FFO isn't comfortable for me, and I have yet to master the back carry. So he either goes in the stroller or he hoofs it.

(1) k'tan for when LO was an infant, he didn't like it
(2) ergo that we used for a long time
(3) boba air we bought for travel and hot weather, probably not worth it
(4) tula toddler for when LO got bigger
(5) ring sling (cotton) for 30 lb LO (easy up and down)
(6) another ring sling (linen) in preparation for LO coming this summer
we probably could have done without the k'tan and boba air. and honestly, even the tula--at that point LO was getting big enough that the quicker in and out ring sling is probably a better option.

just a beco Gemini, but for both kids I wore it considerably less than I thought I would. we are stroller people!

Way too many! It's an addiction. I have 5 woven wraps: a size 2, 3, two 4's, and a 6. I also have a ring sling, a mei tai, and a tula. But in my defense, I babywear everyday. I'm also working on becoming a volunteer babywearing educator. You have to take a written test and a practical test. Then you can teach others how to babywear. We have a great local babywearing group that I volunteer for now. So, it's something that's really important to us. I usually use my wraps and wear LO on my back.

Technically 5.
I have 2 SSC's - a tula and an olives and applesauce
1 woven wrap in a 6 ( a girasol )
1 WCRS but I've never used it as I can't get it comfortable so just waiting on going to a babywearing meetup
I also have a mei tai that I've never used. Doesn't really appeal to me, I should donate it or something.
If I keep practicing at wrapping I might try a shorter wrap. The 6 is so long I get it so dirty trying to use it right now as the snow is melting!
