I have a sling but it's pretty basic and I don't love it, I'm about to get an Ergo though and I'm super excited! What baby carriers do you have? Do you love/dislike any of them?

I have a Tula and a woven at the moment. I sold my Ergo and my ring sling and am tempted to get a mei tai.

4 RS, a wrap, a BabyHawk, an Ergo, and a Tula now. I'll start looking for a WCMT when we find out whether we're having a girl or boy.

I have a boba wrap and ergo. I love them both for different ages. I want to get a a ring sling with this baby too just because I think it will be a quick solution when I need two hands.

We've gone a little carrier crazy....currently we have 2 ergos, a Bjorn Air, a Moby wrap, and a pouch sling.
The Bjorn Air was our first carrier, b/c LO was not big enough for the Ergo til almost 6 months and it's too hot for the insert here. She really liked facing out in the Bjorn, but hubby and I much preferred wearing the Ergo (so much so that we picked up the 2nd one secondhand so we could each keep one adjusted to fit us).
The Moby and pouch sling are new this time around (well new to me - I got them from friends); I'm hoping to use one of them for wearing LO#2 around the house while playing with LO#1. I briefly tried a pouch sling with LO#1 though, and she hated it, so we'll see how it goes with LO#2.

I have a mei tai, a beco soleil, and a dolcino woven wrap. The mei tai definitely gets the most use right now but the straps are shorter than I'd like for long term use. I'm still getting the hang of wrapping and have been considering just having my woven converted to a mei tai. DH has a beco gemini.

I have a Britax carrier it's worked great on the two short walks we have taken so far.

I have a Moby and a Tula. She's slightly too small for the Tula, but we know she'll fit in it by summer so we didn't buy the infant insert. We're rocking the Moby for now (though she's not a huge fan of it)

I sold my Maya sling and gave away the K'tan. I still have an Ergo that I use 1-2 times a month.

I have a k'tan and a beco Gemini. I am lusting HARD over a Tula though except I'm not sure I can justify it with how similar the beco is.
I also really like the look of all the pretty wovens I see on my FB but i doubt I'll ever get into wraps like that.

I have a Beco Gemini, a WCRS, and a woven wrap. I love all of them! Currently, the WCRS gets the most use because it's so easy for me to put him in it on the go. My husband uses the Beco, and I use my wrap at home for back carries.

I have a Beco Butterfly II, a wrap conversion ring sling (Girasol earthy rainbow, converted by SBP) and a woven wrap. I also have a K'Tan, but don't really count that since DD's way too big for it now.
I love them all for different reasons. Sadly, DD is super not into being worn at the moment....I'm hoping it's just a phase.

LO hasn't been born yet, but we were gifted both a Moby and an Ergo. I hope baby girl likes them!

I have a Moby, which is on loan from a friend. I'm going to get something else for the summer, but not sure what to get yet!

I have a Moby wrap and a Beco Gemini. I love the Beco, haven't used the Moby since she was about four months old, but it got a work out in the early days.

I have the Ergo and really like it! DS seems comfy in it also. I think it's a bit big for me, but I manage.
DS is a curious lil one and I'm thinking about getting the Beco so I can carry front facing. Then again, I live in the 'burbs so I don't baby wear often unless I'm going to an outing somewhere or traveling.

Moby (got used a TON in the early days) and a beco Gemini which I like a lot. I'm happy with just the two for now.

Boba 3G and a mei tai (catbirdbaby). I hated the k'tan and gave it away. I'd like to get a ring sling for our next baby. Oh- we also have a kelty backpack for hiking!

Ergo! Used for both kids and love it! Just recently sold the infant insert on the classifieds.

LO isn't here quite yet but we have a Moby, K'Tan and an Ergo. Can't wait to try them all out.
@autumnlove: @sera_87: @oliviaoblivia: Do you guys like the K'tan? I've heard such conflicting reports on it, but I'm super excited to try it.

I had a baby born active mesh to start. I hated it so I gave it away. It was horrible on my shoulders.
I have a wrap that I tried once and didn't like, not sure what it is.
I have an Olives and Applesauce carrier that I've used everyday for 6 months. I like that it has a built in infant insert so I didn't have to purchase that separate. It's good up to 35 pounds which is also nice. It's comfortable for me and DD loves it. She sits in a really nice position. It has a large pocket on the front which is handy.
I got a Tula about 2 weeks ago. I love it so far. It's extremely comfortable, easy to wear. It doesn't have a built in insert, but we don't need that now anyways. I wish the pocket was a little bigger. It only fits my car keys and like 3 dog treats. I wish I could fit my phone, keys, and treats. DD still sits a little low it in, she likes the Olives and Applesauce as she sits a little higher so can see around a bit better.

We have a moby (lo HATED it), boba 3g that we love, beco butterfly which my care provider uses, and a ring sling I haven't attempted yet. I really want a tula and/or a mei tai.
pomegranate / 3983 posts
Moby (in temporary retirement), Infantino (retired), 2 Ergos (we use for both kids when hiking), short wrap (I'm not that good at wrapping yet so it gets less use than I would like).

I started with a K'tan, which DD HATED. I only managed to successfully wear her in it once. I got the right size according to the chart but it always felt like I was trying to cram her into it so I wasn't surprised she was unhappy.
Moved on to a Moby, which she tolerated okay and is pretty comfy, but it's a hassle for me to put on and take off, especially if she's sleeping. We still use it now and then, though.
Then we got a Tula, which is our carrier of choice. DD fought it a bit at first but now she likes it, and I like the ease of a SSC. I found the strap adjustment to be a bit fiddly and tedious, but once I got it right, it's very comfortable. I do wish I'd tried the Beco with the straps that cross in the back (Gemini?) before I committed to the Tula, though, because I have a feeling I might have preferred that. Overall, I'm happy with the Tula, though.

I have a boba and a catbird mei tai. The boba is working out okay, but I feel irrationally insecure with the mei tai. I am thinking about selling it.

@fussygal: It was nice in the beginning. I could just pop her in and out quickly. She got to be too heavy for it quickly and I didn't find it supportive enough to wear for too long.

We have a cheap Eddy Bower carrier that J hated and was super hard on my back so I ordered an Ergo and infant insert a week ago. I can't wait for it to get here so I can try it with Leah!
