Need Advice on a Good Baby Carrier for Older Babies

we are adopting a baby, and she's already 6 months old and 15 pounds. She probably won't be here until she's around 9 months old- so I need a convertable (wear on back or front) carrier for an older baby, maybe 20+ lbs. Is a sling wrap better, or the traditional carrier? And, what brand is the best? I don't know that I feel secure enough to use the kind that is a long piece of fabric that you knot or slip through rings- especially with a baby that big and active. Thanks for your help!!
