5: Ergo, Sleepy Wrap, woven wrap, WCMT, WCRS.
I really want to sell the woven. We just don't wrap like I had hoped. After this LO I'll probably try to sell most of the others but the WCMT (probably the Ergo also) I'm planning to keep forever to pass down because it was such an investment and custom.

@anbanan15: what kind of woven is it?
1 - Moby
2 - Ergo
3 - Woven Wrap (Girasol, Northern Lights, size 6)
I use the woven wrap the most, DH uses the Ergo.
I would really love a shorter woven wrap for hip carries without a super long tail and a Beco Soleil. I can't justify either at the moment WAH!

We have an Ergo and 2 K'tans...next time around I would love to get a Beco!

@mamabear57: mini thread jack, but how do you like the solly wrap? We just bought the gray stripe one, and I'm excited to use it!

I have three:
1) infantino swift (registered for it before I knew about the hip issues with this kind of carrier) he hated it
2) mei tai - I really liked this one, but it was too time consuming to get on and off for the short trips I needed it for
3) The snugli seated carrier. http://www.diapers.com/p/evenflo-snugli-seated-military-baby-carrier-161324 ergo-esque without the price tag. I really like it, but E gets so hot in all the carriers I've used that I can't use it for long periods of time.

we bought an ergo, got the 7s sling for "free"
and were gifted a podaegi and a moby wrap
used the moby wrap once or twice, ergo we use and expect to be our main carrier, and podaegi we'll use when he's a lil bit older.

2, for now. A Moby knock-off that I love for the newborn stage and a BabyHawk mei tai that I also really love for when they're older. But carriers are addictive like cloth diapers and you're always wanting to try MOOOOOAR, lol. The next on my wish list is the Beco Butterfly II.

Actually own would be 3 - Infantino, Bjorn (both of which I'm trying to sell for a little pocket change since I'm not using them), and a Beco Gemini

4 - bjorn, ergo, k'tan & maya sling.
Little dude is still too small for bjorn and k'tan but loves the ergo and maya sling!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: I have it the stripes and also in black. I prefer the fabric on the stripes carrier, it's lightweight and very soft, perfect for the summers in SoCal.

I have 5 but only use 2 right now ... 1) a hand me down Bjorn that I only used twice before learning of the hip issues ~ 2) an ergo, dh uses it all the time 3) a borrowed moby, which I loved while dd was under 10ish lbs, 4) a zolo ring sling ... people love it but I just can't get the hang of it and 5) a babyhawk mei tai, which is my carrier of choice right now!
@pastemoo: @mrsjazz: I want a Tula so badly! They're made locally {in San Diego} so I see them everywhere. I the chevron pattern. DH loves our Ergo though and I can't really see having both ... for now ...

Four. Bjorn, K'tan, pouch sling and Ergo. Wish I would have introduced the K'tan earlier - she didn't like it by the time I did. Pouch sling is a hand me down and I like it. She's getting to big for the baby position but not ready for no head support. We tried out the Ergo today - she dug it.! Very excited. It's going to get hot this summer though, so we'll see.

3. Mr Hedgie has an Infantino, I have a sling and a Bjorn. I got the Bjorn and Infantino for $10 each practically brand new at a consignment sale and the sling was "free".

2 - ergo and k'tan... the kids quickly grew out of the k'tan, so we use primarily the ergo.

@rrachael: If you continue to babywear you can get the toddler carrier. They are so cute and comfy. I have this one.

I voted 4 the other day, but realized we are at 6! Fortunately the only one we bought at full price was the Ergo, the rest were gifts or from the used kids stores. I definitely recommend checking the used stores for carriers, I got most for around $10!!
Moby and Infantino for when he was tiny. A Hot Sling and a 7 Sling until he was almost a year, then I broke down and got the Ergo and haven't looked back (once he hit 20 pounds, it was the only one that didn't killed my back!) Wish I had gotten it sooner!
We also have an Evenflo framed backpack since he was 6 months for hiking. My MIL and I found it at a used kid store for $30!

I have a Beco Gemini and a Sleepy Wrap. I used the Sleepy Wrap when DS was a newborn, but now I exclusively use the Beco carrier. Love it to pieces!

We have a mei tai, Beco Gemini, and a scootababy. I also had a Moby but sold it a few months ago.

Kind of off topic... but if you have a bjorn or infantino and baby doesn't like it, check out how to mod it instead of buying a new carrier: http://canadianbabywearingschool.com/?p=749

I only have two (moby and ktan) but I want an ergo, a maya wrap, and a beco. Oh and a mei tei.

I have an infantino, was gifted this before I knew anything about carriers. I 'upgraded' to a Beco Gemini. I want to get a reasonably priced woven wrap for when #2 arrives in early August, I figure it'll be easier to carry her while chasing around a 15 month old....

5 - Ergo (used most often), 2 pouch slings (1 used frequently, 1 not used b/c it is too big), 2 ring slings (never used), Moby (currently loaned out)

@TurtleDoves: lol on seven sling "crap". I like mine!!!
I didn't count my sling in the poll, until I started reading......woops. Sling and carrier different to me I guess? haha I'm an idiot.
1! Have a Beco Gemini that we use every day, and love! DH battles me on weekends to wear it and LO!
