Best baby back carrier sling thing

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but need help.

We want to buy a baby back carrier, but not a metal, structured one,(for a number of reasons we're not keen on these - so expensive, big, not subtle!)

We have a baby bjorn front carrier thing already which has been okay, so the carrier does not have to double as a front one.

Does anyone know a really good back carrier that is a material one? And linking to that, is it silly to try and find a back carrier that also transforms into a sling that it's possible to breastfeed a tiny baby in... or should I look for this seperately?

Any thoughts appresiated - esp if you have a material one and it's not very good!

Thanks.

Maybe a soft structured carrier is what you want, you can use these for front & back - most well known is an ergo but not very ethical & others are made in this country. Yamo, Beco, Connecta are all examples that use buckles, you can also get ones that tie rather than buckle which are Mei-tais e.g. Babyhawk, Cozy, Eden (these can be used from birth not sure about the bf, could be tricky). Slingjax do quite a lot (and you can hire which is a very good idea to see what suits both of you. Also [http://www.bigmamaslings.co.uk/zen-cart/baby-slings-carriers-soft-carriers-c-10_99.html Big Mama Slings]] has a good range & useful info.

If you're in london there's a sling show coming up I think, can find the link if you're interested.
