I bought 2 slings while I was still pregnant: The New Native sling (non adjustable) and the Kangaroo Korner Adjustable fleece pouch. I barely used them. In order to get my baby into the New Native sling he had to be bent around me and squeezed into the pouch. The Kangaroo Korner sling was more flexible to put him into but it was a bit too warm and I found the snap adjustments to be cumbersome.
I had decided to give up on slings and just use the Baby Bjorn (which was killing my back) until my doula encouraged me to try the adjustable Over the Shoulder Baby Holder. I have to admit I didn’t take right to it even though I watched the video and tried different positions. It wasn’t until I started breastfeeding him in it that I started to get the hang of it. Once we both got used to it, I became completely dependent on it. Especially once he was out of his infant car seat (the bucket that you carry). The sling made it really easy to get him out of the car with whatever else I needed to carry and firmly attach him with his legs around my hip and have my hands free. The Zolowear Solarveil is popular among my friends. It folds up to nothing and you can pop it in your purse.
You can find a comparison of slings at Peppermint.
