I hated the second kind when my boys were little.

I prefered slings. it was easier to carry the baby around especially when they got heavier.

I made my own sling and I made a mei tai carrier. I love my sling.

That 1st sling you posted- I see so many people wearing it wrong. :no With the baby all down low by their hip and jostling the baby around.

I have a sling and a carrier and with a big boy, the sling is what works best for us. I liked the carrier for a while, but he just doesn't fit into it anymore. I wish I had had the sling when he was born too, because it would have been a lot easier.

I got the Infantino sling and hated it...It cut me on my neck and I always felt like Preston had his face against the side. I got a Baby Bjorn, and LOVE it!

try an ERGO

www.ergobabycarrier.com

It has an infant insert, can be used as a front carrier, and a backpack. We've gotten so much use out of ours.

IMO that sling is the WORSE invention EVER :no Every SINGLE person I have seen use that "sling" has used it wrong and has put their child in danger.

I prefer the Ring Sling over everything. Easiest thing to use and best invention ever.
