 Finally, the Holy Grail of baby carriers Apr 10, 2010
By Tim
Let me start by saying it took until baby two to finally buy this carrier even though we had been storing it in our amazon wish list since baby one was about 6 months old. We have one sling, one wrap, two carriers (including a hiking one and a front or back facing one) and have always been a bit underwhelmed with the carriers until this one! The other carriers thus far have been a little uncomfortable for wearer and baby, as well as complicated to put on/take off. We just got this last night and I put my 2 year old (30 lbs) in it like a back pack. She and I both loved it and let me say this is a fussy Dad and a fussy 2 year old so I assure you one of us would have had a problem with it pretty quickly if there was one to have. So far no regrets and I only wish we would have saved our money and bought this a year or two ago.
We bought it for our 6 month old and will test it out with her today so hopefully this isn't jumping the gun, however judging from how it felt with a 30 pounder on my back I'm assuming it will be pure ecstasy with a 14 lb baby.
Save yourself the time and money and just buy this one now.

 Will work great after the 4th month... May 02, 2010
By L. Kumar
I love our organic Ergo and can't wait to use it for our newborn when she's a bit bigger. I found the Heart to Heart insert to be a bit unwieldy and honestly, I always worry about baby becoming overheated while in the insert and carrier. We used this wonderfully for her first two weeks, but now (at 10 weeks) she and I become so uncomfortably hot that I had to resort to Craigslist to get a Baby Bjorn Air. I know that the insert is to be used until she's just 4 months, but with a newborn, that's like a lifetime, so I'd say go with a Bjorn to start and then the Ergo if you can afford it. Baby is much happier, and mom is a lot cooler, literally. I know the longevity of the Ergo outweighs the Bjorn, but in the short term, I wouldn't recommend it for a newborn.

Ergo Baby Feb 27, 2010
By N. Knoll
"N. Knoll"
This is the first time I have ever written a review. I felt the need to tell other moms out there that this is the best $120.00 I have spent since having my baby!!! I bought the Ergo Baby when my little guy was 5 months old. He is 9.5 months now and still loves it. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. He LOVES it!! I don't know how moms can live with out it. I also had the Baby Bijorn and I can say, this is SOOOO much more comfortable for mommy and baby. My husband also loves it and goes on long walks with baby on his back. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is a little difficult to put baby on your back without help... But, it can be done. Just make sure to do it over a couch! Hope you enjoy yours as much as we love ours!

Best carrier around! Especially for women! Jan 04, 2012
By StephByTheSea
I have the Baby Bjorn, the Moby wrap, a Seven Sling, AND the Ergo carrier. Although they are all great, the Moby is THE BEST by far! It is easy to take on and off alone, goes on quickly, has storage, has fun colors, and best of all... it is SO COMFORTABLE!!! For LONG periods of time!!
The Baby Bjorn is simple and my husband likes it best because it looks more simple, but you have to put it on over your head and seems constricting to me. Also, it has zero back support so it really hurt my back after wearing it for hours at a kids birthday party. I had to keep sitting down. Imagine wearing a 15 pound backpack backwards.
The Moby Wrap is fantastic once they are in it. Very cozy, secure, and comfy for baby. However, it is about 30 feet of fabric and once your baby starts wailing its pretty hard to do all the wrapping and adjusting. Great to wear around the house when your baby is itty bitty.
The Seven Sling is very VERY simple-its just one loop you slip over your head- but its just not made for wearing it for more than a short (SHORT) time. I've worn it at dinner so I could actually eat, but then I retired it. Its too flimsy and baby is not secure in it at all. Also I am 5'7" and <130 lbs and it seems too small for me- as if my shoulders are too broad. It seems like it is way too tight and it is the Large. My friend gave it to me because of this same reason, so I am not sure who it would actually fit well!
The Ergo has a pocket in the front where I tuck in a diaper and a few wipes in the front, a little hood if I want to cover him (feeding or weather), a pouch that you can get for extra storage, and GREAT back support. It is also great to wear at the airport if you are traveling with baby a lot.
If you have a newborn you have to buy the Infant Heart-to-Heart insert pad. (not the one with the big padding at the bottom though- that is not necessary). That heart-to-heart doubles for us as a warm cover/ blanket once we get to our destination and as a pad if I need to change him on the ground.
Overall: FANTASTIC! LOVE IT!

Now that baby is big enough for it I just love it!! Jul 17, 2010
By J. Schmidt
The baby bjorn I had, even with "lumbar support", killed my shoulders after my baby was about 12 lbs. I bought an ergo but he did not fit in it at the supposedly-ready 5 month mark -- his little legs were splayed too far apart. But now he's taller at 6 months and he fits great and I LOVE my Ergo!! Great carrier, very comfortable. I also owned a babyhawk for about 3 days and while I adored the cute pattern on that, I didn't feel it was as safe with the buckles (Ergo tests the buckles to high standards, they just feel more "solid", and also the Ergo has reinforcement elastic bands just in case a buckle does ever fail it should "catch" on the elastic.)
