taylor made sling.

My maya I had a hard time asjusting, but never had a problem with my taylor made. (plus the batik fabric was incredible and nice and light for my hot climate)

They have a great sale right now on a slight variation of their new, lightly-padded shoulder style! It is awesome, and there's no shoulder flap so you don't get the rail confusion a lot of people get with the original style. Check it out! http://www.mayawrap.com
The padding is in the shoulder only, so it's not bulky at all and does not interfere with adjusting the rails at all.

I got my Maya with DS when he was a few mos old, spent a couple days practicing around the house, and loved it. Use it with DD now. She didn't like it as a newborn (I'm very big-busted) except when I carried her on the shoulder (name of the hold escapes me). Put it away for a couple months, took it out a couple of weeks ago, and now we're never without it.

Update: I gave up on the cradle and snuggle holds. I made up my own hold which has her sitting up in the sling with her head near the rings/shoulder portion and her feet stretched out to the side under my armpit. If I get it right, she can sit up and look around in the Maya. The Hotsling is more cramped, but it works too (I'm more confident with that sling). I am starting to like the adjustability of the rings though! Ivy can hold her head erect for a longer period now, so that has definitely helped too.

She still spits up when I put her in, though. Oh, well!

I have heard a lot of people complain about the Maya wraps. The constantly adjusting the tail and the general discomfort. I've heard from those same mos that hot dog style fold is much better. Personally, I think the rings being so large on the MW is partly to blame for the difficulty.
