Amy from State College, PA  October 5th, 2009 I used to use the Moby Wrap to carry my baby. In anticipation of the winter, I decided to order the ERGO Organic Baby Carrier to make it easier to carry my baby over bulking sweaters (no worry about tying the Moby wrap over the sweaters). I LOVE IT, I wish I ordered it earlier! My baby is 8 months old and loves the ERGO.
Plus, the fit is the same everytime. With the Moby Wrap, if I twisted the material or forgot to pay attention while tying the wrap, I could pay the price with too much tension/pull on my back. The ERGO is the same fit everytime.
I also love that my baby is in the neutral SEATED position - as compared to the Baby Bijorn - which has the baby hang and can add extra (not needed) pressure on his hips.
You won't be disappointed.

Mila's Dad from Los Angeles  September 21st, 2009 Our little lady loved the ergo baby - while she was an infant. Now she is about 17 pounds, 26 inches long and very alert. She does not like to be held inwards sometimes, which makes using the Ergo kind of a bummer for her. We are going to keep trying, but I think she may have already grown out of it.
BUT, we would still recommend it for an infant. We purchased the infant insert and used to go on walks on cool mornings within the first 2 weeks of her being born. The ergo rocked when she was smaller, not so much now that she is almost 4 months old.

Keith from Key West, FL September 1st, 2009 My wife and I had used another baby carrier (without a waist strap) and slings to carry our baby since she was born. Now she is 16 pounds and the these options were getting too uncomfortable for my wife (5'2", 107 lbs.). So we were looking for something with the right type of support for the baby and the person wearing the baby.
The Ergo is just perfect for us. It adjust to either one of us and the waist strap distributes a lot of the baby's weight off the shoulders of the carrier. The organic fabric construction means we don't have to worry about dyes and other chemicals seeping into her as she chews away on everything.
It also can switch between back and front carry, so it grows with our child's changing weight and needs. The side "hip" carry doesn't work too well for us because the strap digs into our necks.
We are very happy with the quality, design and price!

Karina C. June 10th, 2009 Right when you open up the Ergo baby, you notice the quality of the construction and the softness of the material. We really liked the instructional video versus a piece of paper - it was nice to see the Ergo in action. We have not had a chance to use this product yet, but we purchased it because so many of our friends have used the Ergo and raved about it as superior to other carriers. We are very happy and cannot wait to use it!

Annette from Chicago, IL May 27th, 2009 I have a Baby Bjorn Active but decided to get the Ergo because my 4 month old son is alreay too heavy on the Baby Bjorn. Wow. It does not hurt my shoulders at all! I love the comfy fabric and the sleeping/privacy hood. I also bought the insert, but I would only recommend that for really young infants. My 15+ pound baby was already too big for the insert even though he is 4 months old. I carry him tummy-to-tummy with one leg out and one leg inside the carrier crossed indian-style and he is comfortable that way. He falls asleep pretty much as soon as I place him in the Ergo. Great product!

C.R. from Columbia, MD May 5th, 2009 This carrier provides great support and comfort not only to your child, but also to you. I actually have a low back condition and my son who is 7 1/2 mo. old and a heavy child (26 lbs), and carrying him around can be tough. When he is on my back in the carrier, I really feel like there is no weight to him because of the waist strap on this carrier. My son loves being in the carrier. When he is fussy, he calms right down and falls asleep. The sleeping hood is great idea to help support his head and neck while he is sleeping in the carrier.

Susan March 19th, 2009 The infant insert didn't work for us but now that baby is big enough (3.5 months, holds head up on her own, 13.5 lbs, 24.5 inches)to fit in this we are quite happy with it. Like all of the carriers, I have introduced it to her over time. Put her in it for a few minutes each day around the house before working up to our first big trip outside.
I love the generously sized zipper pocket up front where I can comfortably stash my cell phone, keys, a snack, etc. I also appreciate the elastic bands that help keep the extra length of the straps contained.
I like this soooooo much more than that other really famous front carrier which I also tried. Baby seems so much more comfortable and secure!
I have marked this down one point because I do find it challenging to unhook the shoulder stabilizer in the back with one hand. And since I like to keep one hand on the baby as I unhook this can sometimes be an issue. But this issue might be more a result of my size/proportions than the product itself so I am not sure that everyone would have this same challenge.

Valarie from Chicago, IL March 15th, 2009 I really like to buy organic whenever possible, especially when it is something my little man will be snuggling into and chewing on for the next year, so I was glad to see Ergo makes an organic option.
So far the Ergo is great - my son fits comfortably and it's fairly easy on my shoulders and back. I will say that in the hip carry position, the shoulder strap really does "dig in" after a while. Other than that, I've been using this nearly daily and we're both enjoying it.

nadine from brooklyn, ny  January 28th, 2009 Although this carrier is convenient once your child is strapped in, its the strappingt that is difficlt. Not very convenient if out doors and need to take your child out of the carrier and then what I call "reassmeble" Atlhough the video makes it seem simple it is not at all. The reaching and pulling and snapping makes it very difficult for someone like myself who has very bad back problems. Again, once on its o.k. just a bit of a struggle getting it on. The neck strap, the side adjustments, getting your child in, not an easy task; as I am not new to the carriers. I used the mio carrier until my son grew out of it andfounf it to be very simple. Once all sraps are adjusted you never have to readjust, just a quick snap to close and you are good to go. Needless to say, Ergo is the best from what I have tried for toddlers. So if you are going to spend the funds, go Ergo, just be prepared and give yourself extra time to contract it.

Liz from Fort Walton Beach, FL January 5th, 2009 This baby carrier is THE BEST! I bought this carrier after trying a sling. My daughter hated the sling from the very beginning. The sling was hard to adjust, hurt my back and did not provide a truly "hands free" ability. I had to keep one hand on her at all times while she was in the sling. With the Ergo I am comfortable going hands free and my daughter loves it. I bought the Ergo when my daughter was 3 1/2 months old. I also bought the infant insert because she already had some head control but not completely. I shouldn't have wasted my time with the insert because she did not need it.
I have taken it shopping, on walks at the park, around the house to do dishes etc and just about everywhere. I carry the Ergo with me all the time. It is easy to put on, provides enough support for my back and shoulders, and is comfortable for me and my daughter. Every time I have put her in the Ergo she is happy and content and most of the time she falls asleep while she is in it. Thank you Ergo!
I love the ease of using this baby carrier and not having to depend on bulky strollers anymore!

Jane Graham October 7th, 2008 With two boys under two I accomplish very little during the day. When I bought the ERGO Baby I figured I would put my 4month old in it to vacuum, do dishes, and cook. Well it work better than i planned, my 23 month old loves it just as much. If one is sleepy and the other is not cooperating I simply put one for a nap and other on my back. I bring it and use it everywhere! Hiking, parties, house work, yard work, shopping, walks around the block, etc., etc., etc. It is so versatile with back, front, and side positioning, it lightens the load for whatever I am doing. I would highly recommend it to anyone with children under the 40lb. weight limit. .

Sadie from Greenville, SC October 7th, 2008 I love this carrier. However, even though my son can hold his head up and is ready to rock, he is uncomfortable in this carrier because he is still too small for the position it puts him in. He can't see out, and his legs are in the 'straddle' position. He is four months old...too big and wiggly for the infant insert, but too small for the real deal yet. I can tell that if I wait a couple months, that it will be an awesome carrier, especially since I can use it to tote him on my back as I run after my two-year-old!

Willow Lemon May 30th, 2008 So thrilled to see the Ergo carrier is organic! I'm such a fan of everything natural, so this is the best choice for my little baby. The carrier is easy to use and comfortable. I can get my baby in and out without worrying about fumbling with hooks. The organic cotton is safe to touch baby's skin.
