It release my back from carrying the baby. But the belt isn't long enough for my husband after a while, and he isn't big. :)
More design and colors could be nice, without paying more.
The Ergo was my first Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) and it worked very well for us. The panel is shorter than on other SSCs (like the Tula) but it still offers good support. We still have ours despite purchasing a Tula, and we use it as our back-up carrier and for the times when we expect to get dirty.
I liked the style of the Ergo carrier, it was one of the ones I felt most comfortable with using for my son. He however was not a fan once he got a bit bigger, I think he felt like it restricted his movement. Much preferred being in his stroller where he could look around and explore when he got older. I do recommend the product but would suggest finding a friend or somewhere you could rent one from to try it out first. I've indicated that I don't intend to purchase only because we already have one so there's no need to buy again in the future:)
I tried several other carriers (wraps,ring slings) but the ergo was is my favourite. Can be used several different ways and it did not put a lot of stress on my shoulders like the other types did.
This carrier was very helpful with my daughter. She always wanted to be held, so the carrier was much easier and helped me get some things done. Very comfortable with the wide straps. It does get hot in warm weather, which is to be expected.
very comfy and easy to use carrier. less hassle compared to others. find the straps very thick and proides better padding. also, beware of low cost specials on this brand as there are a lot of fakes out there so buyer beware.
I started out using the Baby Bjorn, and I hated it, and my son did not like it. It was super uncomfortable. I then convinced my husband to let me buy the Ergo Baby since I had heard good things and they were right. It was so comfortable and did not hurt my back like the Baby Bjorn. I could adjust it to fit either myself or my husband perfectly. I also love that I could wear it on my back and my son loved it too. I didnt end up buying it until my son was about 8 months old, so I missed out on all that little baby time he could have spent in it, but I still am super happy. Also, I have lent it to friends and I'm sure I will use it when I have a second child.
