Both, it just depends on what I am doing. For quick trips and errands, I prefer my Hotsling. My daughter is old enough to carry her on my hip, and it is just so easy to pop her in and out of the sling. I never even bring a stroller anywhere. For longer walks or around the house, I like my Moby Wrap. I wear the wrap throughout the day rather than taking it on and off frequently, and then I can easily put my daughter in the wrap. It is very comfortable and easier to get a newborn adjusted than a baby pouch. When considering a wrap there are a couple of things to think about. With the Moby Wrap there is only one tying method, while most woven wraps have multiple ways to tie the fabric. However, woven wraps provide more support, so if you think you will wear your toddler it may be a better investment.

I have a front carrier, and I like it far better than the sling I tried when my daughter was a newborn. I like it because it 's comfy, my hands are free, and my daughter gets a good look at everything that 's going on around her.

Neither. My boss bought me a sling, but I have never used it.

Moby wrap. it 's much easier on my back because the weight gets spread out. it can be used like a sling, or you can wear the baby facing in, facing out (my son loves this), on your hip or your back. : )
