Baby back carrier- recommendations please

Want to go & explore the countryside. Can anyone recommend any reasonably priced back carriers? (I have boobs, so it's got to be comfy too!)

Can't specify a model, but some tips in case they help...we got 2 carriers, one Tomy simple thing with no frills and the other a fancy GS60 with straps and adjustments galore. used tomy non-stop and fancy job exactly 2 times. the main difference was that I could not get the gs60 on without getting onto my hands and knees on the floor, whereas I could swing the Tomy one up and round to put it on with dd already in it. I would say this is the key thing, and it must have a waist/hip strap. Also rain covers never really worked for me, it was better to put a hat and poncho on the child. I have boobs (tho' less than they used to be ) and I think you just have to try the carrier to see where the straps come. More padding the better (on the straps, not the boob).

Thanks maomao
Kiddicare have Cosatto sherpa for £30 (up to 2yrs)
or Bush baby lite for £70 (3yrs & looks much nicer)
DH will think it will ruin his street cred, so i will end up wearing it - At what weight will it become too much & will I be able to wear it for long periods of time?
