Conidering Buying a Baby Back Carrier and Not Sure What to Get

I have a wonderful, loving 11 month old little boy that is well over 26 pounds. He is cruising, but not yet walking. He's getting a lot of floor time and does a great job entertaining himself. I have a sling that I love and use it around the house when I'm needing to go downstairs to do laundry, etc., need to get things done outside or he is just needing some extra Mommy time and I simply can't sit and cuddle, but he is getting so big that I think a back carrier would be better at this point.

Baby Sling or Baby Carrier

Hi! I'm expecting my second baby in about 2 1/2 weeks and would like to buy a sling or baby carrier to keep my hands free.

Air Travel Tips W/ Infant

I need airplane travel advice…my husband will be on the plane 5 hours (not including checking in) with my 3 1/2 month baby whom I am nursing.

We were thinking of just bringing our Ergo (backpack carrier)...
