I've never used a sling before, but I really want to with our new daughter when we bring her home from China.

She'll be 16 months. I have not idea yet how much she will weigh. I also have back pain problems.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
I finally found my way to a sling with my first child when she was well over a year. She was a big girl and my back was not the greatest. I carry mine until they are over two. Here are some more links to consider.
Love,

I would reccomend what Lisa suggested. I would also look into an Ergo. I'm a big fan of wraps, but I don't like the Mei Tei. The Ergo is a good balance for me between structure and simplicity. My husband loves it, too and we can still carry our 3yo ds in it (both of us!).

I have mild scoliosis and find two shoulder carriers *much* more comfy than single shoulder carriers. My favorites are :

Ergo (This site sells discounted returns)

Slingset (May be out of business - try http://www.bluecelery.com/ or http://www.babybuddha.ca/ for a similar products.)

Beco (Similar to an Ergo, but really pretty

)
