Moby and ergo based on reviews. Sakura ring sling because I wanted something more streamlined and lightweight.

We have a Moby and a bjorn because they were handed down to us, and their previous owners loved them both. I also have a ring sling that I sewed (from sleepingbaby productions instructions) because the Moby is SO HOT and I heard great things about them.

I have a linen ring sling, a Beco butterfly II, 2 custom wrap conversion half buckles (they're like mei tais but with a buckle waist instead of a tie waist), and I currently have 7 woven wraps.
Babywearing has become a hobby for us, and I buy and sell wraps on a regular basis.
We started with a Moby and hated it because of how hot it was then got my first ring sling. Then I moved to woven wraps and actually began making and selling ring slings (which I have since stopped, they got too popular and I couldn't keep up, plus at the level I was working at I would have needed to create a formal business, get insurance, etc). Then I moved up to wrap conversions.

A Moby we got as a gift. We loved it when he was little and the weather was cold/cooler. Once he got bigger & it got hotter we bought a Boba. I liked it because reviews were good and it should be usable into toddler hood. So far we love the Boba and it's really easy to use!

- Boba wrap (love it for cozy newborns, and at home naps)
- Linen ring sling (want to love it for the convenience, but hopefully A will like it when he's older)
- Giraol MySol mei tai (LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. It adjusts for newborns up to toddlers and is so comfy for both of us)

Beco Gemini because I heard great reviews and could forward face LO

DH and I each have a k'tan and we share a Beco Gemini. I picked the k'tans because I wanted a wrap for when she was tiny and found the moby daunting. As she got bigger, they started to stretch out quickly, so I looked for a soft structured carrier to take on a cross-country trip we were taking (and to use afterwards of course). I debated the ergo and the gemini, but I didn't like how bulky the ergo was, and I liked that we could use the gemini for any future little ones without buying/storing an infant insert. I seriously considered the Soleil, but I think for now, the Gemini better fits our needs.

We have the Solly baby wrap. It's like the moby but lighter. Love it!!

A k'tan (for me) and the britax carrier (for DH). I liked the idea of a soft fabric carrier, but thought the moby would be too much work. We got the britax carrier because we were going for the registry rewards, but I also liked that we could get a seat extender that made it less of a crotch dangler.

I have several moby wraps and an ergo. I mostly used the moby - so I had several to match various outfits. I adored it - and I totally miss it. The ergo I didn't use much, because I didn't really have the back strength to carry her when she got too big for the moby.

SBP RS, Ergo, Beco Butterfly II, Babyhawk mei tai. Bought all based on reviews and what I thought I needed.

Manduca, we bought it because it was similar to the ergo but more comfortable for me and had better colours IMO.

We own FOUR ergos. We like them that much. we have one for each child in each car. We chose another pair of ergos over another stroller.
Also have a ktan, but as they have grown, its just not as strong. Kids are over 20 lbs and they are still comfy to wear front or back for hours in the ergos if need be. The longevity is awesome.

Used the baby k'tan when he was super little. I borrowed the Ergo but ultimately bought the Beco Gemini. I liked that I could forward face him and it was super comfortable for m.e.

K'tan and Ergo. I researched soft wraps and picked k'tan and Ergo was recommended by lots of friends. I like them both. Now that LO is bigger she definitely prefers the Ergo.

Ktan, because I wanted something easy and light. Multiple people in my family have it so I was familiar with it. We just got an Ergo, so DH can wear her. Haven't used it yet but got it based on people's opinion here and DH tried on a friends and liked it.

Boba wrap which I used when she was a tiny newborn
Hot sling which I use most frequently
Ergo which I hardly use, at 8 months my LO still doesn't seem to fit in it.

Ergo, K'tan, Moby, and a cheap sling I've never used. Love the Ergo and K'tan! I use one or both every day! Brought and have used both on this trip.

Under 9 months: Hava ring sling. Padded in the right places, not too hot, easy to adjust.
Over 9 months: Boba 3G. Wear front and back, foot support for LO, comfortable for me. Sturdy without being too much.

An Ergo - because of the good reviews. DH loves it, but if I could, I'd get a Tula instead. A Moby - borrowed from a friend, loved it, but it got too hot so I went searching for an alternative, which led me to a Babyhawk Mei Tai .... which I love. It's SO much cooler than the Moby but you still get to wrap LO close to you.
I also have a Zolo Ring Sling, gifted from my cousin ... I don't love it, but it is pretty easy for quick outings.

Ergo and when he was a wee a Moby too. I wish I had the Gemini - it would have done everything I did with the two carriers in one.
