Have you seen the Pikkolo baby carrier? It is the only baby carrier I recommend that does a facing out position that supports proper hip positioning for the baby.
Most mainstream baby carriers leave the baby's legs dangling down. This has been linked to issues such as hip dysplasia. Even if other carriers don't cause a developmental problem (this point is directed to those of you, who, like my five year old, will argue that nothing happened to your child - as I often say to her, just because you didn't get hurt, it doesn't mean that what you are doing isn't unsafe), common sense says it's not comfortable to be supported by a narrow strip of fabric. Would you want to hang like that?
The Pikkolo is suitable from birth for most babies and can be used front or back, with straps crossed or uncrossed. The straps have memory foam, which makes for a super comfy and contoured fit.
The material of the Pikkolo is so soft. Some buckle carriers use harsher, more scratchy materials. It's also gorgeous! Check out the current prints!
