 not for hot weather and not as versatile as advertised November 11, 2008
texan123 (Texas)
I have this carrier and the baby bjorn active. My son was born in May in 90 degree weather so this carrier was way to hot to use outdoors, at least with the infant insert. Once he was old enough to do without the infant insert, he wanted to face outwards so I used the baby bjorn- even though it killed mey back. So the 2 major shortcomings of this product are that 1)it is very hot with the infant insert and 2)the baby cannot face outwards. Now that my son is 18 lbs and the baby bjorn puts too much strain on my back I am useing the ergo carrier in the hip carry position, which I LOVE! My son loves it too. I tried the back carry position but it was very hard to put him in that positon- he always cries. Also I have no access to him on my back. Even though this product is supposed to be versatile, I have only able to use it in the hip carry position and indoors with the infant insert. It does have great back support.
 BEST EVER! October 10, 2008

I have 6 baby carriers, count em...6! I started with a sling type for my new born and tried a Moby Wrap (too complicated), then the Baby Bjorn for awhile but it was killing my already damaged back and neck! So I started looking around for a back carrier now that my baby can hold her head up (she's 4 months now) and found this one...its so versatile! I love it love it love it and I had her in the front carrying position all morning doing chores and my back didn't hurt at all! I told all my friends about it and got my BFF to change her registry and I bought this for her instead...highly highly recommended, especially if you have back problems.
great for babies and toddlers September 26, 2008

I bought an ergo three years ago and have used it several times a week since. I carried my older daughter until she was 2 years old and 25 pounds. (I would have kept carrying her, but I was too pregnant.) I have had my second daughter in it since she was 2 weeks old. I can't say enough about it. I have tried five other slings/ carriers and all were uncomfortable for me or my children.

I love babywearing. I love the concept and it's fun. I therefore have tried many kinds of carriers. They all had the problem of hurting after an hour or so, until I discovered the Ergo. I've been able to walk for about 2 hours and not have any problems. My son is secure on my back so I have been able to bend and not have problems. The only thing I can't do-and I think this is because of my son not the carrier is sit down.
It is a little complicated to put a baby on your back. However I've been able to practice and I do it-not the way you are instructed to-but I lay my son down on a bed on top of the carrier and put him on. It really is one of the best carriers out there.

and so do I! I started out with the Moby wrap and that worked fairly well for us, but it was a hot to wear, inconvenient to wrap when out and about, and tricky (but possible) to nurse in. I knew I wanted something else, but baby carriers are expensive and one could easily spend a fortune trying out all the variations.
We decided on the Ergo and we couldn't be happier. We've had it for six months now and it is the number one thing I could not live without as far as all baby gear is concerned. I too was worried about her only facing inwards, but she has never minded and she seems to prefer it. She holds on like a little koala bear as we go about our daily business. Unlike the Moby, she isn't flat against my chest, she's sitting, so that she can easily check out the scenery by looking to the sides.
When she was big enough--probably in the neighborhood of 5.5 or 6 months, I started wearing her on my back and that is great! Now when I do those glorious household tasks like cleaning toilets and baseboards, she isn't dangling off the front of me. We get a lot more cleaning done now that she can ride on my back. :-) At first, I needed help to put her on my back. However, now that she's 9 months and can hold on a bit, I can get her on easily--I even trust our abilities over concrete these days (when I started getting her into the back carry position on my own, I would practice over the couch. It *was* tricky at first (we made some mistakes), but once we got the hang of it, it wasn't a problem at all.
My husband can wear her too and it's simple to readjust the straps so that they fit both of us.
Like any of the carriers, this one takes some practice (though the front carry is about as easy as it can get). Breastfeeding in this for me is difficult, but I can do it in a pinch. I can carry her long distances and after a long while (probably 4-5 miles), my neck will hurt a bit, but my back is fine.
My daughter loves her Ergo in the way some kids take to a lovey. She'll stop by and give it a visit when she's crawling around exploring the house. When I see her chewing on the straps (they second as a favorite teething toy) or playing peek-a-boo with them, I'll put it on and she gets all excited (we compare it to the way a dog gets excited when his owner gets out the leash to take him for a walk). It is very sweet and funny. When she went for her first trip to our friend's house to be babysat, the only thing that would calm her when she was sad was being carried in her Ergo. If she has a meltdown when she's home with daddy, the Ergo saves the day (she just needs to play with it--not even ride in it).
I love the time my daughter and I spend walking our neighborhood with her in the Ergo. Sometimes we're quiet and other times she'll make happy bounces and that's my cue to do some hops and bounces for her. Our family members wonder why we never need a stroller. "Isn't she heavy?" they ask. They think we're a little weird. I don't know any parents out there who will look back on their child's life and wish that perhaps they had carried him/her less. We don't carry her all the time, but we do carry her more. The forward-facing position allows for optimal baby head-kissing...now who wouldn't want more of that? (except maybe the baby :-))--but a few more here and there are always nice, especially if you can sneak them in when they're asleep or not looking.
Hug your baby, carry your baby, dance with your baby...the Ergo will let you have more time to do those things *and* maybe get the dishes done too :-).
