There seems to be a much larger variety of carriers on the market since DD was born 8 years ago. I had some back problems with the Baby Bjorn, and understand that its not the best for the baby either.

DS2 is 2 weeks old and about 11 lbs - he will likely continue to be a big/tall baby, just like his older siblings - probably 25+ lbs by 8-9 months. DH and I are both tall. I am looking for a carrier that will do a better job of supporting a larger baby and also one that I can nurse DS2 in discretely. I looked at a Beco Gemini and Boba 3G today. I liked the lack of bulky padding with the Boba. I liked the relative ease of buckling the shoulder straps on the Beco. DH liked the front-facing option on the Beco, but is perfectly happy with the Bjorn. I wasn't really happy with how either of them held DS2, but the sales girl wasn't particularly knowledgeable about how to configure either for a newborn.

Are there any others I should look at? Also do these ever go on sale anywhere?
