RP:had a bjorn, need a new carrier... Infantino? Chicco?

When DD was born we got a bjorn, DS didn't use it, I still have it, but after reading all of the studies etc on hip displacement I want to buy a new carrier for this LO. I really want an ergo, but don't want to spend that much since this will be our last baby and can't find one second hand. What else is good? Anyone have any input on the Infantino Support Ergonomics carrier, Infantino mei tai, or any of the chicco carriers? TIA

I had a basic infantino I purchased second hand, not sure which kind, but it really hurt my back. I purchased a ring sling for the beginning this time, and we'll go from there.

I recently scored a NIB Boba carrier on ebay for $84.  They retail for $120-130.  It was even the color I had registered for! :)

I'm done with ebay... I had ordered an ergo a few weeks back for $62, and it was definitely a counterfeit. Luckily I pay a lot of attention to detail and caught it, but unfortunately you just can't trust people.

I got nothing, TBH. I love my Ergo. I would get a mei tai, but I'm not ready to spend the 90+ dollars on a Baby Hawk. The Infantino Mei Tai is supposedly pretty good for cheap carriers. However, I'd just invest in an Ergo. They resell pretty well once your done. I also have a K'tan and Maya Wrap for the beginning/different carries.

I have a Moby and an Ergo and love both for different reasons/situations.

I would also just go for the Ergo. I love mine and actually purchased a new one even though this is our last. I used it past 2 with DD and DS still loves riding on my back now while pregnant. Once you're done with it you can always resell it. I just sold my old one for $70 and had used it for over 2 years. Also, stalk Babysteals.com and MamaBargains.com they will sometimes have them for a fraction of the cost.

Ergo sometimes dips down to $85 or $90 on Amazon, and the different colors will be different prices, so I suggest checking em all out once in a while. We got ours for $85 about a month ago with free shipping. Granted, we still have to snag an infant insert but I still think it was a heck of a steal! And like others said, it will have great resell value. Otherwise, maybe go with a Moby wrap or something like it?

I have two carriers that I got on etsy: a Moby style and a ring sling. Both were reasonably priced. I also have a BabyHawk Oh Snap and a BabyHawk MeiTai. Both were purchased on eBay at a fraction of the cost and are the genuine article. OhSnap is for older babies and toddlers. I use it for my almost three year old son. The MeiTai and the other two carriers will be used for our daughter. The two that were purchased on etsy were used with my son with great success!!

We replaced our Bjorn with a Becco Gemini, which I like, but I kind of wish I had gone with the Lillebaby Everywear.  Regular price isn't bad but they ocassionally show up on BabySteals.

Do you remember who the seller was?  I just ordered one for $74.95 through ebay.  I'm hoping mine isn't counterfeit!
