Talk to Sophie at Doubibou. I bought my Ergo from her and she talked to me about the pros and cons of all the carriers. I bought 2 from her and tried them on and chose the Ergo and sent back the other one so it is worth paying the shipping to make an unhurried decision. I use 2 different carriers. I really like the Didymos wraps that she sells. I have a Moby wrap which is similar to that. I like it a lot to wear around the house. But if I'm out all day, the Ergo is a great work horse and I have a bad back. Unfortunately, they both get hot. I've borrowed a Baby Bjorn but my little one doesn't like it as much and gets uncomfortable in it. I don't like the feeling of carrying all my child's weight on one shoulder but I'm actually breaking down and getting a Maya wrap. They are great to just pop the little one in for brief periods (my back can't handle the imbalanced weight distribution for long) and are probably the best for breast feeding. Good luck with your decision. I know I'm not the only mom who has more than 1 carrier and they make life so much easier. Also, your carrier needs will change as the baby grows so keep that in mind when you look at them.
