Infantino Mai Tai

General theory- Carriers are super useful in the first year of life, especially if you live in an urban area and like to go places not in a car.
In the first 2 months of life I really recommend an unstructured carrier (doubly for Mom). The benefits of an unstructured carrier in the beginning is that they tend to be easier to put on and adjust to the adult, especially when your'e still funny shaped from the pregnancy (though keep in mind, you won't be able to use the carrier for the first 2 weeks, but Grandparents and partners can). Also the structured carriers are all built to carry 3 year olds and so sometimes are hard to adjust to the little babies.
This time around we went with the Infantino Mai Tai. It is waaaay easier to put on than the Moby (Lee has used it all by himself)
