Any suggestions on a good, comfortable, and easy to use sling? I've only used front packs and no experience with slings.

TIA,

I hear ya, my first son hated the Bjorn and anything that kept him confined (stroller and carseat). My daughter LOVED the Bjorn. That sling sounds great though.

I bought a custom sling off www.sleepingbaby.net when I had Kaida.

I love it. I'll be using it again with this baby

I have the Infantino baby sling and I love it. My baby loves it too. It's one where they lay down in it. Like a baby hammock.  It really helps my kiddo get to sleep. It blocks out the light and it's warm and muffles sounds. I think they are best for newborns though. Everyone always asks "Is there a baby in there?" lol

I've seen moms with those and they look very natural. And you're right, it completely hides the baby!

Thanks,

A friend of mine swears by the Moby.  I think it's called a Moby.

Thanks Julie! I'm planning to purchase the Moby so I'll let you know how it works.

Ok, I have tried every sling known to man LOL My fave is the adjustable Maya Wrap, but it takes a bit to master. The Moby is awsome for tiny babies, and can be worn for a long time, I did not like it for summer because I found we just got too hot. The Mei Tai is good for when they get bigger, but I felt like it was too wobbly for a tiny baby.

Stay away from the HotSling (sold by places like Target) as they are very bulky and hot, and hard to get on right.
