| 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. 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 access. 100% organic cotton twill that is incredibly soft. |

 Amazing carrier |

I have tried a lot of carriers since the birth of my daughter, but this one takes the cake. I can wear my 25-pound child for HOURS and not get sore or tired. The shoulder straps are wonderfully padded, and so is the waist cushion. I have gotten SO many comments about my Ergo, and I have given the name to countless mommies, pregnant women, and even daddies. My boyfriend has a bad back, so I'm the only one who wears our daughter, but I can't complain. She loves it, and usually goes right to sleep when we head out.
EDIT: As of today, October 11, 2008, I am still using this carrier to transport my daughter around the city. She is almost 3 years old, and she weighs 31 pounds. Still a fantastic carrier - the most helpful baby item I have come across. |
Best carrier, hands free and hands down!!!

This carrier is so comfortable to wear, easy to use, and it packs and travels well because there are no frames (it's soft-sided). For some reason, everyone buys the Bjorn, which hurts a lot of backs (especially if you're going to wear it for more than 5 minutes).
I've lent mine to friends who are going away on a trip, and they've returned mine afterward and purchased their own! I've used it while traveling, in the grocery store, around the neighborhood, and even at home when my son was fussy. |
Lifesaver!

| I orginally purchased this when my husband was deployed and the baby was about 5 months old and wanted to be held constantly. I have used several different backpacks and slings, and this is my favorite. Although a bit tricky to get the kid on the back by myself when he was older, many a trips in a store or laundry being folded has benefited. (You can use on your back, stomach, or side and the back has just been easier to free my hands). My husband is now home and the baby is 19 months old and we still find we use it around town shopping, especially at his naptime. I would absolutely recommend this above all other's. |
Great for bigger babies/toddlers

I had a Bjorn for my daughter when she was an infant, and I absolutely loved it. However, when she got too big for it, we got the Ergo carrier, and I love this one, too. It does a great job of distributing the baby's weight over your hips instead of your back & shoulders. It's adjustable, so my husband and I can both use it. We took a trip to the East Coast last year, and we took turns carrying our daughter in this instead of bringing a stroller. It worked out great for us. I also really like having the option to carry her on my front, back, or hip.
The only down sides are (1) you can't wear your baby facing out in this carrier and (2) it's a little tricky figuring out how to get your baby onto your back at first. However, the Ergo website has great video tutorials showing you how to do it, and you will figure it out! ;o) |
Cogito Ergo I have an Ergo!

I thought that I had too many baby products and carriers with our first baby, so I thought that I shouldn't buy just "one more thing." I am sorry that I felt this way all those years ago, because I could've really given my back a break! The Ergo is GREAT!
Advantages:
1) Comfy for you
2) Comfy for baby
3) Baby is secure
4) Washes/dries easily
5) Great for longer walks
As others have mentioned, this carrier would not work if your little one likes to face outward.
I opted for the organic fabric, and I am pleased with the quality and color. I've been using it for 3 months now, and couldn't be happier. I am still putting the baby in the front carry position, and I think that it might take some practice to use the back-carry position. There are some helpful videos on YouTube, so hopefully I'll have it mastered in no time! |
