Which sling?

[Zzzzfthg]

I'd like a sling. I already have a toddler aged 2 so figure a sling will be useful when new baby arrives! When my first was tiny, I used a daisy stretchy wrap and then a Close Caboo from the sling library. I just never really got on with either and felt nervous tying them myself and always worried if I'd done it right/found it hard to do on myself.
Therefore I'd like a more structured sling (that is suitable from newborn) - any recommendations? I've heard the Beco Gemini sling is good?

I had a Beco Gemini, it was great. Loads of carry options including forward facing (with good hip support) and back carry. Especially good if you are petite as so many other slings like the Ergo seem to be too large for small frames. Only annoying thing was the safety clips which needed two hands to undo - but I think those are pretty common.

@minipie I am indeed fairly short so that sounds good thanks!

Baby bjorn one. Really practical and well made i love ours. Nice and supportive of newborn babys head (more so than stretchy type wrap i found, their head doesn't loll back in baby bjorn), clips are easy to do up, and there's lots of carrying positions from newborn right up to toddler. Quite expensive but loads of great quality second hand on ebay.

I have a beco Gemini and rate it

I had an Izmi carrier - izmibaby.co.uk/product/izmi-baby-carrier/

Really light and comfy and suits tiny babies too. I've only used it with the baby on the front facing in which is nice and snuggly. My son is now 4.5months and weighs a ton so not sure if I'll have the opportunity to use it with him facing out without breaking my back. Definitely me being weak and baby being heavy rather than a problem with the sling, I can barely even pick him up he's such a chunk!

I had an Ergo baby which is suitable from newborn with the insert and it was fab. I never got back ache from it which was the main reason I loved it! And if you get the 360 you can have back, front and forward facing carries. Highly recommend.
