Re: which baby carrier is better
I have both, and for me- hands down, Moby wrap. No contest IMO. The only positive I can see to the Bjorn is that it's easier (quicker) to get on. But it's much more uncomfortable for both you and baby (it's very bulky and stiff and bears most of the baby's weight on his/her c rotch and on your shoulders). The Moby is such a thin, lightweight fabric, and it distributes the baby's weight evenly over different parts of their body as well as evenly around your torso. I have literally carried my son for hours at a time in it and didn't feel any back pain. And it's sooo flexible, so they can move in it and get themselves all comfy. Plus there are a ton of different holds you can do with it, as opposed to just face in or face out. It definitely is a little overwhelming at first because it's this ginormous piece of fabric, but (at the recommendation of other LIF mommies), I watched a couple videos on YouTube of how to put it on and did it along with the video. After maybe 2 or 3 times I had it down cold and I could just do it without even thinking about it. I HIGHLY recommend it (if you couldn't already tell!!  )
Edited because I didn't know you weren't allowed to use the word c rotch on here!!

Re: which baby carrier is better
I'm going to get the Moby Wrap for the next baby. I have the baby Bjorn and hate it. I never thought DS looked comfortable in it. My one friend raved about the Moby Wrap.

Have you looked into the Baby K'tan? I haven't used any of them but was leaning toward the Moby until someone recommended the Baby K'tan. It looks like it's so much easier to get into and has less fabric so I'm thinking it would be cooler to wear in the summer.

I love the bjorn, but that's the only carrier I've ever used.

Get both---my DH wouldn't even entertain wearing the Moby so he wears the Bjorn.

Re: which baby carrier is better
If you're considering the Moby, get the Baby K'tan instead. A thousand times better (I have both, and a Bjorn). It's way easier, just as versatile, positions-wise, and can come in a breathable fabric!

Re: which baby carrier is better
I got both. I heard the moby is great when you are in the house because you can sit in it and the bijorn is great for walks outside.
