Looking for a structured carrier that’s easy to put on and off and can be used for short periods around the house and for walks outside. For a 4 weeks old. Google have told me about the baby bjorn mini and Momcozy? Mainly for back issues can’t carry around the house and want something easy on and off and ideally that can put on and then load baby and bonus points if it’s Amazonable for delivery next few days 😂

Ergobaby with a newborn insert?

Thanks will take a look!
Are baby bjorn still bad as they used to be for the hip positioning/crotch dangling?

Ergo

It isn’t technically “structured” but the Ergo Embrace is fastened with buckles rather than being a wrap sling - DD lived in ours for the first three months. Otherwise yes, Ergo with the newborn insert.

I tried a baby bjorn at a sling library and really didn’t get on with it (but DSIL loved hers). If you can afford then maybe order 2 brands on Amazon and pick whichever one suits your shape better?

I’d ask for an urgent postal loan from a sling library, that way you can try before you buy. I’ve heard good things about this one, but there are lots of others.

If back pain is an issue, I wouldn’t go with anything that requires reaching behind your neck to clip a neck strap, maybe a Connecta worn with crossed straps?
