Best infant carriers/wraps/slings?

[Genesis]

I am looking to purchase a new one for our September baby. I used the Maya Wrap ring sling with my 1st, and it was okay, but I wasn't loving it. I want one that is quick to put on myself and easy to situate the baby in.

What is your favorite infant carrier, wrap, or sling, and what do you like about it?

Thanks

Favorite newborn carrier??? I have 2! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Moby wraps!!! Couldn't have lived without them having 4 older kids to chase + the new baby!!! Can't recommend 1 ENOUGH I also loved and reached for my Beco Butterfly II because the infant insert held baby boy upright and so comfortably for both of us! Nursing was great in both carriers, and at 3 months, I wore my DH on my back in the Butterfly!

I love wraps, baby hates wraps but likes the Manduca.

For my kids I have loved woven wraps from newborn stage through toddlerhood. They are just so versatile and snuggly. Plus, I can do front, hip and back carry from day one in a wrap. Wraps have a learning curve, but in about 20 minutes you should be able to do at least one carry and then it's a matter of just getting better and better. I've also liked ring slings too because I can nurse even easier in a ring sling.

I have loved my Girasol wrap for my dd at all ages. She has always felt more comfortable in wraps than in any other carrier I've tried, and has only ever fallen asleep in a wrap which is super important especially in the pre-walking months. She's 21 months now and I'll be bringing a wrap with us to the local rodeo this afternoon cuz we are gonna be there at naptime.

I used a Moby for really early days but only liked it when he was really little because there is just SO much fabric that I found it annoying after a while.
I used my ring sling almost exclusively in the first 5 months. The more I did it the easier it got. I wore it in the car and just popped ds in. It was invaluable to me. Now I use my Pikkolo most with sprinklings of hotslings pouch and mei tai thrown in
