 No tying, no backache, and easy on the eyes! Mar 31, 2010
By Mental Mommy
"Mental Mommy"
We started out with a Balboa baby sling. I loved it, but our chunk daughter outgrew it very quickly - by around 5 months, she was too much for me to tote around. We also had a Moby Wrap, but I found that they stretch. While it was great at first, I found myself having to tie it tighter and tighter because the tighter I tied it, the more it stretched. It was very versatile, but also took a while to tie each time. I had to tie it before we got in the car, and that wasn't always easy. I finally got the Ergo after borrowing one from a friend. After investing so much in the other two carriers, I was hesitant to spend any more for a carrier my babe would outgrow in a few months. Now that I have the Ergo, I am SOLD! We have a 5 year old who is about 32 pounds (he's small for his age), another son who is almost 4 and weighs about 30 pounds, and our daughter is almost a year old and weighs just under 20 pounds. I can carry all 3 of them in this carrier! The oldest child prefers the back carry - it puts him in a piggyback hold, but leaves your arms free. It also doesn't make me hunch over or cause that ache in my lower back. Our middle child likes the hip carry. Again, my arms are free, though I usually do cup his bum in one arm. Our baby loves to be against our chests. She is content in the Ergo even on warmer days. I will say that it DOES get toasty when she is in there, but that's sort of part of the deal with baby wearing. :-)
My favorite things about the Ergo:
It adjusts, but it adjusts quickly. I can use it, then my husband can use it, and I don't feel like I have to take forever to find "my" settings again. I am 5'2" (on a good day) and a bit stout (haha!). My husband is 5'10" and very slim and we can easily go back and forth.
Versatile: front carry, back carry, hip carry. Awesome.
Washable. On the few days we've let the kids snack in the carrier, it won't break my heart if they drip strawberry juice on it.
Visual appeal: some of the other carriers were very plain, or had "baby" fabric. With this, our older boys don't mind being in it, and I don't feel like a fashion victim.
Buckles and safety elastic. If my younger son comes up and tries to unclip a buckle, I'm not going to drop the baby, etc.
I would recommend this carrier to anyone, but particularly someone new to baby wearing or who didn't want to fiddle with a tie-on carrier. I wish I had found this when we had our first, or even when our third was younger, but experimenting with the others has made me appreciate this carrier even more. A final PRO to the Ergo: huge re-sale value. I kept looking for these used thinking I could talk the husband into buying one sooner if I could find a cheap one - they still sell for 3/4 their original price on Ebay and Craigslist. What other baby products get that kind of return for your investment?!

Great for Adoption bonding Sep 13, 2009
By Anna Walsur
With my first adoption of an 11 month old - someone on the trip gave me their carrier that did would not fit for them. When I arrived home I purchased another one for the remaining year she spent traveling with me.
For our second adoption I need a carrier designed for older child 2 years old, 24 pounds. And found that Ergobaby Organic Baby Carrier would fit the bill. When it arrived I asked my now 3.5 year old weighing 31 pounds to try it out. We walked over a mile with her seated agained me. She almost fell right to sleep - like in the beginning. She now refuses to get into the carrier because it is so comfortable.
Here's hoping our newest daughter will enjoy the side rides while we are out of the country.
The item is just beautiful.

 No Pocket! Apr 06, 2010
By Melody Lumpkin
I looked at several Ergo carriers before buying this one. All of the other ones I looked at had a zippered pocket on the front. This one does not have that. It does function great as a carrier, but I am very disappointed that this particular model doesn't have what I thought was standard on all their carriers. The pocket on the other carriers is large enough for keys, phone, a diaper and some wipes--very convenient. The embroidery is not worth losing the pocket.
LOVE THIS CARRIER!! Nov 14, 2011
By R. Schlap
This is so comfortable for my kids! It doesnt' put strain on your shoulders or back, even with heavy toddlers! My only complaint is that the back is a little short, so my long torsoed toddler feels like he is falling out when he is on my back. I remedied this by wrapping a silk scarf around him and tying it in the front. Looks pretty and works perfect.
I used this starting when my son was about 12 weeks old and still using it now that he is a 25 pound two year old. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, WORTH THE MONEY!!
Snazzy!!!!!! Mar 29, 2011

Although I hardly used this product, it is as appealing as the picture. Very comfortable. Best dollars I spent on baby products. I didn't donate it, I plan to keep it for the next go round whether boy or girl. This was a pricey buy so unisex it will be.
