Product Description
The ERGObaby Baby Carrier is a soft, multi-position carrier that works well with infants, toddlers, and even bigger kids. The versatile ERGO carrier is capable of functioning as a front carrier for infants, a back carrier for toddlers, even as a hip carrier. The ERGO carrier is one of a rare species of multi position baby carrier that provides comfort and closeness with your baby in the way you feel is most comfortable and convenient. The ERGO baby carrier is made entirely of soft materials and doesn't skimp on the support. Fully adjustable and equipped with a wide lower back support for you, the ERGO will fit on adults from 5' to 6'4". Versatile and comfortable, the ERGO allows mom, dad, and the whole family to 'share the load' and stay close to its newest member. This all-in-one carrier is a unique take on baby wearing that keeps your baby closer than any other carrier. Because it is so versatile, the ERGO baby carrier is suitable for every imaginable activity, from hiking on trails to cleaning the house. With your infant in the front position, a nursing mom can keep her baby in the perfect place, and private. In the backpack position, your child will be safe, close and comfortable while you have your hands free to work or play. With baby in the ERGO's hip-carrier position, you'll have eye contact, freedom to move, and easy access to all your baby's needs. The ERGO is designed in such a way that your baby actually uses your body as part of the support system, with their legs supported rather than dangling in mid air. This seated positioning provides more support for your growing baby's spine and posture. New Improvements from the original ERGO baby carrier include: Chest straps that are now attached to the shoulder straps Chest straps are the same color as the carrier for enhanced overall look The hood straps are shorter and snap directly onto the shoulder straps The hood has elastic and will cup around the baby's head To get

 Great when the baby gets older! September 30, 2008

After reading a lot of attachment parenting screeds about how babies looooooove slings, I was chagrined to find that my baby hated slings. Hated with the heat of a thousand suns. I was annoyed to discover that he hated my expensive Ergo carrier.
And then he turned six months old. His legs grew long enough and his hips grew wide enough, and while he still hates slings, pouches, and wraps, he adores the Ergo.
For me, that's a good thing. He's now eight months old and too heavy for the other front pack carriers - but the Ergo is comfortable even for four mile hikes. When he falls asleep, I snap on the hood and he rests peacefully for longer than he ever naps at home!
The construction is top notch and sturdy, with handy pockets and one-hand adjustable straps. The instructional video is very helpful.
The "chew pads" are overpriced, and I made some out of a washcloth and some velcro strips. You do need some sort of pad, though, the straps get musty smelling very quickly from all the drool. The instructions say not to machine wash very often, although I'd say the construction was sturdy enough to withstand it.
Essential carrier! July 10, 2008

We have a number of carriers in our house, including a ring sling, a moby wrap, a mei tai and a snugli, but the Ergo has been the best for our baby since we got it at 4 months. We use it every day to calm him down for naps and for bedtime. We did not need the infant insert, but I have heard that you can use just a folded blanket for infants less than 3 months, instead of buying the infant insert. I have also heard that you can put them in straight up and down (instead of at an angle) if you prefer. I would like to try this for a newborn, but I used and loved the Moby wrap and mei tai with head support for the early months. For older babies, this is a wonderful product, and is good for babies up to 40 pounds.
Our baby weighs almost 20 pounds, and I have to be honest, I do have some back pain from wearing him on the front all the time. However, it out-performs most other carriers in terms of back support, and the benefits over all the other carriers are many:
*EASY to put on - quick for front carry; can even be buckled while baby is in your arms (with some practice). Flipping to back is a little more challenging, but still easier than others.
*comfortable in comparison to other carriers
*handy pocket is really helpful
*sleeping hood great for blocking out visual stimulation when time for sleep
*lots of padding where needed
The "chest" strap (ends up on your back if you are carrying on the front) is only hard to snap shut if it is very low, but can be easily moved.
Only two (very minor) complaints: it would be great if there were more padding around the bottom strap for when baby is on your back (post-partum moms don't want their bellies split in two); suck pads sold separately are ridiculously expensive, but we ended up buying them because when baby sucked on straps, mold began to develop; on a similar note, not easy to wash product -- they say it can only hold up a couple of machine washes, but we just did it by hand to avoid probs.
 Best "grow with baby" carrier June 25, 2008

I used a traditional sling with my first child and in the beginning with my second, they both grew out of the sling quickly. When I discovered the ergo I was so pleased, my children are very comfortable in it (front, back and hip) and best of all my back doesn't hurt when I use it (lots of money savings by not having to see the Chiropractor!) The only challenge I have is trying to get the head supporter over my shoulders and snapped when they fall asleep on my back, maybe I am not flexible enough? I highly reccomend this carrier for baby wearing/attachment parenting moms and dads!
