Is there in existence a baby carrier that faces forward (or to the side) but has a more rigid type seat that sits them at 90 degrees and the legs come out straight forward, not spread? DS3 cannot tolerate a sling with legs folded or a carrier with legs spread facing me. Thanks!

DS3 has Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) and has short, bent femurs, so he can't have much pressure on the legs and I think the leg spreading puts his femurs/hips in an uncomfortable position. I have been able to use the Ergo on my front with him sitting sideways for a short time on a hike and he seemed pretty comfortable with that, but I know that's not the way it was intended and I don't want to cause any harm.

Since that's not developmentally a good plan for *most* kids (although I understand why it is for your son,) I don't think they make or market such a thing.
The only two options that might work for you are a framed backpack style carrier, like a Kelty, intended for hiking, or there may be some sort of carry in a wrap that would work for him.
