but want something, I don't know, less buckly, bulky, strappy...what would you use? I have 2 WAHM mei teis that I don't find as comfortable and secure feeling (my ds is now 5 months) as the Ergo, but it's just so darned bulky... I absolutely loved my Moby for the first few months and now need more support. Any thoughts? TIA!

Lighter weight SSC that are more like a Mei Tai such as Angel Pack LX or Beco.

Thanks!! That looks just about right. I'm a BW rookie, so I don't think I would have stumbled on that myself

yeah, the beco looks awesome.

There are other buckle tais you might try, they're hybrids of mei tais and buckle carriers, but more like lightweight mei tais than like soft structured carriers. One new one that looks awesome is the CatBirdBaby Pikkolo, which also enables a good front facing out carry. I've also heard good things about the Moshi.

Ooh the Moshi looks really cool - love the padded head rest area...

I can't figure out how to actually order one though...
