The ERGO is the way to go when it comes to baby carriers. It's the best all around choice for carrying a baby anywhere from around the house to public places. The ERGO baby carrier is conveniently compact, comfortable to wear and provides sturdy support for your baby. The ergonomic design of the carrier ensures that your baby is in the correct sitting position to encourage proper hip, pelvis and spine growth. It does this by distributing most of the baby's weight between its hips and thighs. The design also considers the health and comfort of parents. The carrier balances the baby's weight to the parents' hips and shoulders, reducing physical stress. The padded waist belt supports the lumbar area plus 1" thick padding in the shoulder straps. It can be worn on front, back or hip and can easily be changed from one to the other. Ergo is perfect for when baby is too heavy for a sling or for when you plan on carrying your baby for extended periods of time, especially for hiking and walking. Unlike other frame back packs, with the ERGO the baby is right against your back so their weight seems less. When carrying a traditional hard frame back pack, your baby's center of gravity is further from your body and can be awkward and feel heavier. For comfortably carrying your infant, try the ERGO Infant Insert (sold separately). It supports your newborn like a baby sling while having both hands free to work. This lightweight carrier lets you carry your baby comfortably for long periods with your hands free and it looks great too. Features: Recommended use from newborn (with additional Infant Insert sold separately) up to 40 lbs Adjusts for most sizes, waist circumference extends from 25" up to 43" Attached Sleeping Hood supports sleeping baby's head and expands with the growth of your child Convenient pocket on back of carrier with side zipper for easy acce

| I could go on and on about how lovely this product is and how much easier it has made my/our lives. I do however want to include some frustrations I had with the product to be fair.
I'm going to list my pros/cons to help you decide if this product is for you.
PROS:
1. We have been using this carrier since our son was 5 months old.
He is 22 months old and although we don't use it everyday like we used to, it is still getting a lot of use. I have used this carrier while grocery shopping, running errands around town, hiking, at the beach, while traveling, while working, getting my son to sleep every night for many many months, cooking, doing dishes, cleaning. Its really helped my son stay content while I have 2 hands to go about my daily life!
2. It feels effortless carrying my son in this carrier. I'm very petite but still manage to carry my son's 26 pounds very easily. Great back support. I have worn my son in the carrier for hours on end with no pain whatsoever.
3. My son loves it. He loves the front carry especially but also likes the back carry. The hip carry helped me put him to sleep very easily when he was under a year old. I love having him close to me. It feels wonderful!
4. I was able to and still can breastfeed in it very easily and very discreetly on the go. The hood feature is wonderful for that. It allows you the freedom to run errands easily without having to worry about your little one getting fussy. My son preferred this carrier hands down over sitting in a grocery cart.
5. No need to lug around heavy cumbersome stroller. Its incredible freedom.
6. Pocket in front pouch is just enough room for cell phone, wallet, keys.
7. Backpack accessory has enough room for a couple diapers, a snack, and drinks and is nice to have. However, I find that I don't really use it that much because it feels a bit bulky.
8. Son slept in it peacefully and comfortably in the front position and back position with the hood.
9. Front position very easy to learn, hip position easy to learn, back position takes a practice and patience to learn (but worth it). Initially, until I felt comfortable getting our son in it myself, I had my husband just put our son on my back.
CONS:
1. We couldn't use this carrier until our son was 5 months. He just never tolerated the infant insert which he outgrew at about 2 months but was still too small for the carrier until he was about 5 months. It was frustrating initially, but I think as long as you don't count on using it initially you won't be disappointed.
2. Like I said, the infant insert was not useful. Our son hated the cradle carry. I don't know about the new heart to heart insert since it wasn't available when I purchased the carrier so I can't say if its been improved upon.
3. The back carry was VERY frustrating initially. I just wanted so badly to use it for the back carry but my son didn't like being on my back until he got a bit bigger (at about 10 months old). Until then, I primarily used the front carry. However, once you get the hang of the back carry, it really becomes second nature.
4. The product is made in China. I don't like that. I worry about the fabric and the safety of the fabric. Of course, this I never considered initially, but only after hearing other parents talking about it. I wish the company would manufacture this in the U.S. I would gladly pay more to make sure it is safe and that it hasn't been sprayed with anything on its way over from China. I have even heard that the Organic line is sprayed too. Again, I don't know this for a fact, just something I heard others talk about.
5. This is minor but an annoyance nontheless, when I use the carrier in the back carry position, the straps dig into my hips and create an ugly "muffin top" look. It also tends to pull down on my jeans to the point of having to wear a belt with some of my pants or risk my pants falling down (again minor but annoying). The front straps tend to also push my bust up making it look like I'm going to spill out of my shirt (and I'm an A cup!). I can imagine this might be a real problem for others. However, with a little wardrobe adjusting or selection this is a non issue.
Finally, I would buy this product again with no hesitation. It has been wonderful and useful and continues to be used and enjoyed by our family. Hope this helps!

| great carrier | 2010-02-03 | 5 / 5 |
| | this is a perfect carrier for bigger babies. for the first few months I would suggest to buy a baby bjorn but, eventually, ergo baby is going to be much more comfi for both the parent and the child (>6 months age). great support, very easy to use. Great carrier! |
| It's ok for toddlers but gets very HOT! | 2009-09-28 | 3 / 5 |
| | I purchased mine with infancy insert. Don't bother with the insert. It is too uncomfortable for the baby to use this product. Wait until your baby is at least 4 months or older. By the time mine was 4 months we were both burning up when I wore it around shopping and also underneath his legs would have red marks. I did exactly as the video said to do. We do however live in the south. The summers are usually around 95 degrees. I think since the time I purchased mine ergo came out with a lighter version. I purchased the organic with fanny pack and backpack. Without putting any of the extras on it is still way to hot. I would say to everyone this is a much better product for an older baby and for cooler days say around 70 degrees and under. A screaming sweating baby makes a crazy parent. I've just had my second baby and I'm ordering the Kelty 1.0 this time. It has great reviews so far. |

| | I tried slings and other front carriers, and was never comfortable with them. I borrowed this from a friend to try out before spending the money on it, and it was worth it right away. With this, I've gone hiking, trekked through the airport, and gone on sight-seeing tours with my son. It's sturdy and comfortable, and he's content in it (has even slept in it, although I recommend snapping the head cover somewhat tight, as his head rolled back scary-quick the first time he fell asleep in it). I prefer having my son on the front, I don't feel as stable with him on my back, but that may be b/c I can't tell what he's doing. My husband prefers carrying him on his back. It's really easy to get on with a helper, I think with some practice I could do it myself. Supposedly it adjusts for hip carriage also, but we never really figured out how to do that. It holds a small amount of stuff (I've shoved a diaper, wipes, wallet and keys in it for quick trips). The waist strap is wide and comfortable, and an extension piece is available to make it longer (we have this too, it's also very nice). |
