We have looked at Baby Bjorn, but that does not appear to be able to carry on the front AND on the back (backpack or piggyback style). Also, we found the ERGObaby, but that only allows baby to face you when riding in the front - baby can't face out. Also, while ERGO baby gets good reviews it doesn't appear suitable until the baby gets a bit bigger and we would like to only buy one carrier in stead of one for when it's a newborn and one for when it's a bit older.
Anyone find the perfect baby carrier for themselves? Something out there we've missed? Your input is appreciated - thanks!!Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?
You might ike a Moby Wrap- it's very flexible and can do all the positions you mentioned.Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?
I like the Moby wrap, very versatile and can wear different positions. Also it's easy to wash and dry. Very soft and never had pain carrying her.
I also like the ERGO and am thinking about getting on with this next baby.
Try looking at the Hosa Chunei. It is a vest style carrier. Something different than most other carriers. We love the Pea Pod Wrap!
i got a simple evenflo one and my baby hated it. I used it maybe 2 times and tossed it.
You need a Moby wrap! Check out their website mobywrap.com
It does it all from a sling to a hip holder.
The best carrier for all those positions is a wrap. I had an evenflo carrier and I hated it, it was so hard on my back. The wrap distributes the Weight evenly and can be worn in many different positions, you can even use it to discreetly breastfeed the baby. If your not looking to spend too much money you can even make it yourself, all you need is a long piece of stretchy fabric.
I used a moby wrap when my son was smaller and an Ergo around 3-4 months and it's still comfortable at a year old. The forward facing position isn't good for the baby which is why you will have a hard time finding a good one that allows that. My son does fine still just facing me.
The Ergo does have an infant insert although I believe some like it and some don't.
Info about forward facing, I hear it's a good wrap for a newborn as well.

you need a wrap! something like a hug-a-bub or moby wrap, or you can even make your own!! they are fantastic. you tie them on and the slip your baby in, suitable from birth to whenever you decide not to carry your baby anymore. you can learn all different sorts of carries, plus the thicker straps are heaps easier on your back. and a wrap is also much better for your babies spine, as they are pulled in close to you rather then resting on their tailbone. and theres no buckles or straps to adjust, it can fit anyone. i really think you will find a wrap is the way to go!!
some snugli brands do front and back carrying, but i have the baby bjorn with back support and i have damaged nerves in my back and if i watch my posture i can carry her for hours in that thing; she has always been comfy in it, still sleeps in it if tired at ten mos....that's my recommendation, although you can't wear it on your hip or back; i didn't want her on my back in public bc i couldn't see her....we only have the snugli for home...and we have only used it once, LOL
A baby carrying wrap (sash), you can tie it many ways, including front facing you, front facing out, cradle, on the hip etc. It is good until about two years old, as long as you have someone to lift the child into position on your back. Takes a bit of practice but is absolutely wonderful, comfortable for you and baby, plus you can roll it up and stick it in your diaper bag, unlike ergonomic carriers (I also own a Baby bjorn). There are several brands depending on where you live, this is the link to the company I used :
