Sling rec?

Hi Ladies!

So I'm considering adding another sling/wrap/carrier/whathaveyou to my growing collection (I'm kind of addicted, lol). Here's the deal: We use the Ergo almost exclusively right now, but it's not handy for around the house when I need to get things done and Eliza is feeling extra needy (which she has been lately - it's all about MAMA right now). It's getting harder to cook dinner without holding her (it's right at THAT time of day when she's getting tired and wants to be held), which, at 21 pounds is difficult to do, especially while trying to cook! I tried wearing her in the Ergo (front carry) while I was chopping/making dinner, and it just didn't work. I know I could probably do it if she was on my back, but I cannot for the LIFE OF ME get her into the Ergo on my back by myself, I need DH's help.

I was thinking of a sling, maybe something that is super quick and easy to get on/off? Anyone have any recommendations? Some type that would allow me to carry her either on my hip or some other carry that allows my hands to be somewhat/mostly free...

Thanks!
