Need a very simple sling for carrying 16mo on back

I'm looking for a simple shaped cloth sling (i.e. not just a big piece of cloth but something made especially as a sling) to carry 15 mo on my back around the house or on short trips to the shops etc.
Don't want something with tons of buckles and padded bits or pockets etc, preferably with bits which tie round you.
Any recommendations? Thanks!

Mei Tai is supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it. I get on very well with the ergo, which I find simple to us, but does have buckles.

All back slings take a bit of practise to get used to IME - but it is a very convenient way to transport your small child, and well worth the practise.

BigMamaSlings are good at recommending a sling.

I can recommend the ergo. I am am small and find carrying hard, the ergo is really good. Yes, it had buckles, but it is simple, to use, quick to put on and very comfortable.

I like my ergo too
