Carrier Confusion :/

So basically my friends and family bought me all the products they loved instead of what we registered for. Normally I wouldn't care but we ended up with a Moby wrap, ergo baby and a baby bjorn carrier. I really don't think we need them all which would you recommend? I feel bad returning any of them but there's still so much left that we need. :/

I'd keep the ergo and the moby, and return the Bjorn. The Bjorns are notorious for being crotch danglers anyway. 

Personally I didn't love my moby, but I DID use it for a while. and I use my ergo all over the house now and when I grocery shop.

this, I have the k'tan, ergo and a ring sling. I use them all, I would hate to have to pick just one as each is great for different activities.

I totally agree.

Loved the moby for the first few months and the ergo for later. I would return the bjorn, I've been told that they hurt your shoulders and I haven't had that problem with the other carriers.

This.  I have both a K'Tan (like the moby) and the Ergo.  Love them both for different stages.

I agree with the others. Keep the Moby and the Ergo, return the Bjorn. The Bjorn is like a crappy version of the Ergo. The Moby will be nice when the baby is small (I use a K'Tan, very similar and love it) and the Ergo will be great when the baby is older and for your DH to use (we have a Beco Butterfly II which is a nice soft-structured carrier like the Ergo and DH really likes it). The Ergo especially is very nice and one of the best carriers on the market.

I would borrow someones baby and try them all out.  Or if you don't want to open them up, go to a store that has the demos and a weigthed doll and try them out.  Everyone raves about the Ergo but I hated it.  It made my back extremely sore after wearing it around for a bit and DD never seemed comfortable in it.
