My first one was a Mai Tai from Junglemama which I loved, it was great for Cooper when he was younger. Now that that hes older I have a copy of a Dolce & Zoet sling that I brought from the LLL for $40 I love it, he doesn't complain about it either.
I'd recommend that you have a look at slingbabies I found this site really helpful when I was trying to decide which one to get.

I third Slingbabies.
And I  my Moby wrap, it's not strictly a sling but it rocks. Lil miss isn't a big fan of the sling and the Moby allows me to be 100% hands free.

I love my Hug a Bub (very similar to the Moby) its not a sling but a wrap style carrier, its great, super comfy and totally hands free. Slingbabies website is great, heaps of info for you to compare to see what suits.

hey just wanted to add my 5 cents worth...ive used a Natures Sway sling with my step son and he loved it and it was awesome because its adjustable...so i could use it, his daddy could use it his mum could use it ( and shes lots smaller then me) etc but with some of them they have a specific size so if multiple people wanted to use it you would have to get more then 1...i guess for most people this isnt really a problem but something to keep in mind i guess.

I'll throw in my two cents, too.
I love Love LOVE my Moby.
It's totally hands-free and really comfy and secure. I just wish I bought it sooner.
But that's just me

All I can say is I had one of the old-skool style ones for Ella and found it pretty useless, so definantly do your research first and choose a clever design for functionality.

Thanks for all your ideas. Had a natures sway for Luke but was too tricky and didn't work for me so want to try a new one for the next baby.
May be a moby will do some more research

Oooh, Jezsika - what colour Unido do you have. Mines black and white and very scrummy - Zach looks so sweet in it and it is really comfy for me.
edited for rubbish spelling!!

We have a Moby sling and DD never particularly liked it, even as a newborn. She gets grizzly now if we try and use it at 9 months so we don't bother. Not sure whether it was the Moby or if she wouldn't have liked any type of sling - I think the latter.
