Can anyone suggest a good sling for man to use?

My partner really wants to carry the baby in a sling of some sort but all the ones that I've seen aren't suitable - I think he's expecting a carrier on his front rather than on actual sling or wrap (too feminine). I've heard that the Baby Bjorn ones put the baby in a bad position.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a carrier that we can both use?

Thanks.

ergo is great and you can use the newborn insert.

Or if you live anywhere near Faversham in Kent you could visit my friend's fab shop and try some on!

lollipop, why don't you buy 2ndhand, then not so much of a problem if you don't use it? Did you look on ebay, classifieds on mn? Also Uk Babywearing swap have loads of slings & a wilkinet was listed a couple of days ago for £15.
