We started with a Moby Wrap. You cannont beat the comfort, but it does take a few tries to learn to tie. Then a Hotsling when my daughter rode on my hip. As she got older still we did and still do use an Ergo Baby Carrier for hiking etc. Not all parents may want to invest in so many carriers, but for us it was the way to go!

She still goes in it for several hours a day at 12 monnths, and I find it very low-impact on my back. I tried a Bjorn until my daughter was about 5 months, when we swapped to an Ergo.

Great advice. I have worn my babies (am still wearing my 30 lb 9 month old when she lets me) and i have used almost every type of carrier out there. I loved my pouch style sling (baby would sit cross-legged facing forward) the most. But i do have to say that i have gotten the most use out of my ring sling--it is just sooooo versatile! I found the Motrin commercial to be in poor taste... It felt as if they were promoting the whole Mommy-Martyr bit. While wearing my babies could be seen as simply an act of love to help my baby be happy and healthy, it has also been super beneficial to me and helped me to be an attentive, tuned-in mom...no sacrifices were made to my neck or back to provide this gift to my family :) And I'd take a warm soak in the tub over a Motrin any day!
