We have an infant seat and two bases (one for each car), plus the stroller it snaps into. Two seats is unnecessary for sure. The stroller is nice, but not essential.
As for wraps/slings... We have a Moby, a Snugli, and an Ergo. I like them all for different reasons.
The Moby I use mostly at home because it's complicated to wrap and a bit hot. But it's fantastic if your baby wants to be held and you need to get stuff done. I used it a lot when he was under a month old so he could snuggle up and sleep while I did dishes and such.
The Snugli is great for little babies who hate the Ergo insert (as ours did). we used it on our first outing at a week old and I just supported his head with my hand. It is easy to put on and take off and getting baby into it is a cinch. Once they start getting heavier (over 10lbs) it starts to get a little less comfortable for the wearer. I can only wear him about an hour in the Snugli before my back and shoulders start to complain.
The Ergo we use for long wears and if I'm going to need to nurse with him in the pack. It is especially good for an all day outing. I have successfully breastfed with him in the Ergo and me sitting down. (I saw a woman once doing it standing up with an older baby who had good head control.)
My husband happily wears both the carriers and is quite comfortable in them. My tall sister has a Maya wrap and loves it. I found it hard to use with my short torso.
From my research I would go with either the Maya Wrap, the Moby Wrap, or the Peanut Shell Sling.

The Maya Wrap Sling seems to have great reviews from breastfeeding moms but it is pricier than the other two.
Yeah wearing the baby is a "thing" I used a Moby Wrap a ton. It is a really long piece of cloth that you wrap around your baby and yourself to hold them tight against you without using your hands. The thing I did was wear my daughter like that all the time in the house just around. Not only when we went out to do things. That allowed me to rest my wrists. https://www.amazon.com/Moby-Wrap-Original-Cotton-Carrier/dp/B000OY539A
