Currently all I own is a ring sling and a pouch...a MT looks appealing to me because it looks more comfortable for wearing my baby on my back.  Does anyone have a suggestion on what MT I should get?

Big baby or little baby?  Arms in or arms out?  Any particular types of fabric appeal to you?  (celtic, toile, camouflage, etc :) )

There really are so many available, and so many are FANTASTIC depending on your needs. So... are you in a hurry to get one, or do you mind a wait? Some are ready to ship, but some have 2-3 week waits.

Tell us your needs! :-)

    Well Anna is 6mths weighs about 17lbs...she very much likes to be able to move around so probably should get one that her arms can be out of...as far as fabric probably one that my huband or I can wear such as camo or paisley or something similiar. And no there's no hurry.Any suggestions?

I just got my first BabyHawk and love it!  It's super comfy and I can't wait to get another one!

I know it's not an MT but I love my Ergo Organic and it's very comfy back and front. Great for b-fing, hiking, doing laundry, and working in the garden! I even shoveled wood chips with my boy on my back, and he was sleeping soundly. What I like about it vs. MT is that there is a sleeping hood which gives head support when (invariably) my son falls asleep back there! It's a clever, comfy design and I can't say enough great things about it. And baby daddy can wear it, too. No patterns or colors that he won't wear (like my Storch)!

All of the MTs that ATB carries are great!  If you check out the feedback/reviews on TBW.com you'll see these are all very popular!

Go with the fabric that grabs you.  Freehands are my favorites followed by Babyhawks and Kozy (not available at ATB)  Sachi also has a very loyal following.

BWing in the beginning is a lot of trial and error as to what works for your body and your baby!

Have fun and let us know what you decided!

If you want the arms out a Freehand or babyhawk would be great! The Freehand has a little more padding than the babyhawk. I think both have a gender neutral pattern. The new embroidered Freehand is fabulous.

    Thanks for all the info I think I'll either get a freehand or babyhawk perhaps for mothersday!

ITA with the previous posters: for arms out, BabyHawk and Freehand are excellent choices.  Mei Tai Baby is another option.
