Hi. How old is your baby? It matters because some carriers are not suitable for young babies or need a separate infant insert which may be warm for baby (eg Ergo and Tula carriers). Some suggestions for babies under 4 months: - ring slings - Lillebaby (can try at Takashimaya baby section) - JPMBB PhysioCarrier (can try at 1010 shops, I saw the sample at the city square mall branch) For above 4 months: - Ergo Performance Ventus - Tula with mesh back (do note that smaller size babies may not be able to fit in this without infant insert till 6-8 months old - JPMBB PhysioCarrier - Lillebaby For ring slings, can have a look at these local online retailers: - http://www.warabeehs.com/#!sling/c1ddf - http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/ring-slings - http://smoochsmoochbaby.com/collections/ring-sling - http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ring-sling - http://www.careringsling.com/collections/carering-sling-textile - http://13thirteen.com.sg/shop/index.php?id_category=31&controller=category Can consider using a ring sling first, then switch to a soft structure carrier when baby is about 4 months old. You will have many more options then without bothering about infant inserts. I like ring slings because they are less warm, quick on and off, easy to machine wash and dries fast. Downside is that baby's weight is on your one shoulder... So how long you can carry for depends on your tolerance and how heavy your baby is.

Heard good reviews for Lillebaby airflow complete. It is lightweight and has a breathable mesh that is good for our humid weather. It can also be worn in different positions. You can read up more and consider this as well. :) http://www.pupsikstudio.com/lillebaby-complete-airflow-baby-carriers.html

The best thing about the Manduca baby carrier is that as your baby grows, you can extend the height of its body panel to offer extra support and stability. Definitely recommended!

A number of my friends have the Tula and seem to love it. I use the ergo baby made from mesh material so it has more ventilation for bub
