Sports reviews of Ergo Baby Carrier: Black-Camel
Customer Review: I could not love this thing more!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have used a ring sling, pouch sling (which I liked just fine for hip carry until my son got too heavy), and a wrap carrier (which was great...again, until he got too heavy), and this is BY FAR the best carrier I have ever tried. I just wish I hadn't waited until my son was 17 months old to buy it!
I bought it to bring on vacation instead of a stroller, and it was an absolute lifesaver when our connecting flight was delayed six hours. DS napped peacefully in the Ergo for most of it! I have used it for hikes and it is much more comfortable than the metal-frame style backpack carrier. I have also used my Ergo while teaching parent/child music classes, where it kept a sleepy and grumpy toddler content and cuddled without my having to take my attention off of the class.
I have to admit that it is tough to get it on in the back carry position without help. It takes a lot of practice. Hip carry is easier (although you have to reposition the straps first) and front carry is super, super easy.
Of course you're still going to get tired if you carry your baby for hours and hours - like I always say, a 30 pound toddler is still a 30 pound toddler, no matter how good the carrier is - but compared to a Bjorn, which puts all of the weight in your shoulders, or a sling, which puts all of the weight on ONE shoulder, this thing rocks. The weight is nicely balanced on your hips. Compared to holding my toddler on my hip (where he tends to lean all of his weight back into my arm), I can hardly tell that he's on my back at all when I'm wearing him in the Ergo. And not only is the Ergo better for YOUR back than a bjorn-style carrier, it is better for the BABY'S spine as well - they are sitting with their knees higher than their bottom, rather than dangling by their crotch, which compresses the spine and is bad for their development.
By far the best $92 I've ever spent.
ETA (6/27/08): I've now been using this carrier for two and a half months with my second baby, and it's still my favorite! I bought the infant insert for it, which did its job well, although it made it a little hot and sweaty for my baby in the tropical Hawaii climate. I used it a little differently than you're "supposed" to, though; I would put him in a tummy-to-tummy position with both legs tucked into the carrier - he didn't like the cradle position much - although it was necessary to switch him to a kind of diagonal position (with both legs out the same side) in order to nurse. The infant insert was awesome for nursing in the carrier, it gave a great amount of support and coverage - I could nurse my hungry baby while pushing a shopping cart, and you couldn't even tell! Now that he's outgrown the infant insert (big baby!), it's so so super easy to get him into the front-carry position that I don't even use my wrap carrier (even though he's still light enough for it).
