So I was a bit of a babywearing nerd when DS was little...it was just so dang convenient, comfy, and enjoyable. It's one of the things that I miss now that he's pushing 50lbs and would rather be doing his own thing than cuddling with mom.

Any other babywearers out there? If so, what are/were your favourite carriers?

Our Heart 2 Heart sling was our workhorse carrier- quick to put on and take off, awesome to nurse in, overall super handy (that's what in my avitar pic). http://www.heart2heart.ca/

I tried a homemade wrap but it was a lot to put on and looked somewhat rediculous....that being said, next baby I will DEFFINITELY invest in a stretchy wrap for infancy- the handsfree/cudly/nursing factor would be awesome and the amound of in-arms time they need anyways would make putting it on totally worth your time.

The Ergo is awesome for walks and long distances. Didn't love it for nusring 'cause it sat rather high, but nothing beats an Ergo for back carrying (arguably). http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/

We had a mei tei too. I quickly learned that you get what you pay for in the land of mei teis. I was quick to retire my $40 one, but couldn't let go of my Mei Tei Baby- so comfy and with the interchangeable pannels it felt more like an accessory than a baby carrying device. Very comfy and diverse and worth every cent compared to a cheaper version. http://www.meitaibaby.com/
