People are always asking for comparisons and recommendations on the baby carriers that I have, so here's the deal:
Padded Sling:
--Basically I hate it. But it's the only thing I can consistently breastfeed in easily at the moment so I still have it.
Moby Wrap:
--Love it, love it!
--Very comfortable for newborns!
--Easy to get baby in and out of.
--Encourages her to sleep, so it's great if she's overtired.
--Hard to learn, takes a while to get it right.
--Good weight distribution.
--Warm.
--Really could use a pocket!
Ergo:
--Expensive and needs a $25 insert for babies under 3-4 months.
--GREAT weight distribution
--Easiest of all to put on (besides the sling that I hate)
--Dad-friendly appearance.
--Cool for summer
--Medium-sized front zipper pocket for keys, etc.
Mei Tai (I have a Kozy Carrier brand):
--Good weight distribution (although not AS good as the Ergo)
--Beautiful fabrics!
--Reversible, so it has a dad-friendly side
--Relatively easy to put on and get baby in.
--Little pocket is great for keys, etc.
--Very versatile -- front, back, side, small babies, big babies, etc.
So that's my experience with each carrier! Happy babywearing. :)

Hey Alyssa-
I would LOVE to get together, just gotta get these kiddos well first. I wouldn't want to expose Miss Lilia to these germies. Give us a week or so and we'll be golden...hopefully :)
