I have the Katan but it's too small for my H to use. We also have an infantino from a baby sale but I only used that a few months. He weighs too much now, hurts my back. I also have a Kelty backpack carrier but it's for when they are larger.

I have an Ergo and LOVE it. I just used it to wear babe through the airport, so he was in it for probably two hours between getting there and checking luggage, going through security, etc. I wore him the whole time until we got settled on the plane. Then again once we got off the plane. DS is in the 20 lb range right now, and you can't even feel the weight when he's in the carrier.
I have a K'Tan that I never used - squished LO because my chest was too big. I should have got the medium but I followed the guidelines and sized down.
I also have a Beco Gemini and Beco Soleli, but have only used them a couple of times around the house. I didn't introduce him to it soon enough and now he is too independent. I'll be more diligent with #2 and see how that goes.
I have an ergo and a ring sling that a friend made. I love both, but the ring sling is my fav, she has been using her's with her son and he's almost 2 so you would get a lot of use out of it. It's pretty similar to the Maya Wrap, but I know there are others out there. Check out the Blue Cocoon's website and Facebook, they have a pretty good selection. I bet if you went to the store with LO you could try a bunch out before buying, they are very helpful.

We have an Ergo 360 and it was totally worth the price. I love it and so does M. Aside from the baby hanging from me, it's hard to twll I'm wearing it. We originally had a HMD babybjorn. It was difficult to wear because of my boobs and killed my back.
I have the Moby Wrap and its soooo comfortable you just have to get used to how you wrap up baby. It's literally like a huge blanket that you strategically tuck and tie, and even my hubby wears it.

Although I don't have the 360, I really wish I had paid the extra money for this one instead. You can wear baby forward facing right?

Yes, you can front carry, facing in or out, side carry and back carry.

I have an infantino, a bella swing, and a moby. The Moby isnt curvy friendly, it slides up on my natural waist (couple inches below my bra) and creates a deeper pocket over time that results in a loose and stretched out hold. DD hates the swing, not sure why. The infantino is doing well for me now, but it definitely has a size restriction, I have to put it on its largest setting for DH. Sorry, not much help here.
I forgot to add that tge Ergo 360 has tons of adjustment options, is easy to adjust while on, and IMO, very friendly to those of us with curves.
Edit: mominthemaking14 if you will be at the G2G saturday, then you are more than welcome to check out mine.
Thanks for the offer. It's DHs bday weekend so on wife duty lol. I'll have to go to Blue Cocoon and Buy Buy with LO to try it on. I've read the reviews.

Forgive me, I knew this already. My brain is mush today.

I have the baby ktan. Mine is a medium, and I love it. I thought it would be too small as LO grows, but so far he still fits just fine. I prefer the Ktan to the wraps because its so fast to put it on and I dont have to worry if I did it wrong, its super easy. I traveled at Christmas with it and it was a godsend in the airport. It was super easy to put on when the plane landed and pop LO in so I could help DH gather our luggage.
BuyBuy Baby has a whole sample of everything out there and they let you try it on! DH is a "big" guy and my Ktan is too small for him, but I think he would totally fit in the Large/XL.
