Soft structured carrier or sling
The most underrated item in the entire category. Hands free, they sleep, you can walk. Try before buying, they suit different bodies very differently.

PRO The only thing that reliably settled him. Walked about four hundred miles in this thing.
CON Boiling in July. Genuinely unpleasant.

PRO Better than the pram for anything involving stairs or a train.
CON Try before you buy. The one my wife loves does not fit me at all.
