Our son at 24 weeks. :) Look at those little hands. It was the first time that we peeked at him that he was sleeping. Precious little guy. I made sure I saw the heart beating, though. Call me a nervous mom.http://store.babycenter.com/category/gear/baby+carriers.do
I've got another survey question. John and I are of a difference of opinion when it comes to what might be the better buy as far as a baby carrier is concerned. So the above link should show two pictures of what I am talking about. One is the traditional carrier out front like a kangaroo, and the other is the sling thing.
Which one do YOU like better and why? If, in fact, you own one of these things. Looks as though the sling is cheaper, but there must be someone that will cut me a deal if we choose the kangaroo route.

This could become a philosofical question...
We have a Glückskäfer Sack. The importance here is that the legs are kept apart (it has a Hüfthose)
I would not use a Backpack until the baby is older.
Sligs are suppose to be very good. But get one from didimos! They are expensive but no bad stuff in the cloth. Baby Björn Carriers are very good, so I was told by mothers! Make sure you chose something that you can carry in front and later on the back. These little angles get heavy...!
I have a sling AND a front-carrier. Neither Benjamin nor I liked the sling, we BOTH loved the BabyBjorn. I don't know what this baby will like, but I really preferred the feel of the carrier, since it goes over both shoulders and connects at my middle back. I got MUCH less back pain wearing it than I did wearing the sling, and I even had the sling fitted by someone who designs/makes them commercially.
I haven't found that the BabyBjorn front-carrier spreads the baby's legs too much, no more than a diaper does. :)
Check it out, and it's not too expensive. It has tons of choices of how to wrap the baby in it, so you really only need one carrier for all the positions.
I guess in the long run, it's about what you are most comfortable with, so we'll see.
