baby slings. Karri-me or Close?

DC2 is due in May and not wanting to get a double buggy I want to get a sling.
I had a bushbaby front carrier with DS but didnt like it, i also have a padded ring sling, but not too keen on the one sore shoulder i get from that....so i was thinking that a wrap sling would be better. i know lots of people who have raved about the karri me for when they are small, but i have also seen this close one that looks similar but ive not heard much about it. any advice?

Thanks for that Catz I will bear it in mind, there is another one of the bag types which I'm considering.

I have a kari me and also tried to close sling the other day. They didnt feel much different but would say the close was a lot easier to put on. I think might have to buy on

I have a Moby Wrap and have to say its fabulous. Tie it on in the morning and then pop baby in and out all day. It's a stretch fabric so stays tight all day

I hve a coorie as well. Good for short hops but kills my back. Thx close is very easy to wear. Ds giggles when he sees me putting it on!!!
