Good baby carrier for mum and dad to share?

[squizita]

Pregnant with my 1st and got to 30 weeks, so shopping for essentials.

I live in London, having seen people struggle with travel systems on buses and tubes, whilst I will be buying one I would also like a good baby carrier as I have heard these are a godsend for the London based mum! DH is also very keen to carry baby.

There are so many reviews out there...
So ... any recommendations for a carrier (think DH would prefer a 'structured' Baby Bjorn style one to a sling IYSWIM), suitable from soon after birth, which is reasonably easy to adjust from short/petite mum size to average height/stocky dad - so easy to adjust buckles etc'?

Or would it be better to purchase one each?

I've got a beco soleil. Dh hadn't used it yet but it's adjustable so will fit him too. Plus better for baby's hips than a baby Bjorn.

Great thanks guys, will check them out. :) Yes I had heard that Baby Bjorn isn't as supporting as some brands on the hips so good to know Beco are good for that.

Caveat - not tried this one myself - but have seen several people out and about with Ergo carriers recently, they look great.

Manduca.

I have had a few and from newborn the only buckled carrier both DH and I got on with at that age was a Connecta. You can shorten and narrow the body of the carrier just by rolling it up and cinching it in with a buckle and and you can cross the straps at the back which makes it more versatile to fit both a male and female torso.

We have been known to share a Manduca too, but we didn't have it til DS was about 6 months old. Manducas also can be buckled with the straps crossed.

I loved my Ergo but it didn't work for my DSs when they were newborn-3 months ish as neither of them liked being in the curled up position needed for the newborn insert to work. It was great once they were sitting up (from about 4 months) and the last time I used it with DS1 he was 4!
