Best baby carrier for warm holiday

Hello. I am taking a 8/9 week old baby to Orlando for 2 weeks and think I'll be using a baby carrier a lot to walk around the theme parks rather than the pushchair. Can anyone recommend an airy baby carrier that will give us both some breathing room? Thank you

A solarweave connecta would work if you like that style. I think Phil and Ted's do a mesh carrier that's more like the baby Bjorn style. If you like to wrap, Girasol and lots of others are cool and breathable. Do you have a sling library you could hire from?

I have a couple and no matter how airy they are for meshy the baby is still against your body = sweat.

Choose the most comfortable. My favourite is my Ergo 360. They are a bit pricier but I've had it since DD was a newborn and love it. I travelled around a couple of Australian cities with her in it each day this summer in temps of 36-40 celsius. She was 5-8 weeks old.

Dress yourself and baby LIGHT (singlet onesie for baby) to avoid overheating and have spare. I folded and placed a light muslin square between baby and myself to help with sweat - it made a huge difference and stopped my sweat from soaking her.

Yes solarweave connecta is very popular and has uva protection. Ring slings are quite cooling as baby isn't pressed agains your body as much.

Thank you everyone! The Ergobaby always comes up in my searches and it definitely looks great, I just wasn't sure how airy it would be as it looks very thick and fiddly. I have never heard of a sling library but have just googled it and there is one locally to me - how cool! I am going to attend their next meet up in 2 weeks time :)
