I purchased the Ergo baby Carrier as a gift from a relative’s baby registry. She is delighted with the carrier, especially the feature of being able to carry the baby in the front or the back.

My 14 month old daughter who is about 24 LBS feels so light in this baby carrier. I am a Bjorn owner. My daughter is just too heavy for the Bjorn these days. I needed something to walk my daughter two blocks to the beach in. She can walk, but it takes forever. I carried her in the Bjorn and my back and shoulders were killing me for a good 4-5 days. All of the weight of the child is carried in your hips, not shoulders and back.
The delivery was amazingly fast! I think it showed up the very next day. Great seller!
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to the fact that I cannot get my daughter in this thing. I watched the whole video, and I cannot get her on my back without help from my husband. We can do the front way, but we cannot not do the back. He can’t get her on his back either. It is really hard. I think if we started off with a little baby rather than a toddler we might have stood a chance. I wish they would sew the instructions to the inside of the straps like the Bjorn does. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Bjorn, but not for a toddler. This is toddler friendly without breaking your back.
I don’t know how my daughter feels about it. She’s usually very animated and happy, but she is super calm and docile in this carrier. I can’t tell if it is soothing or if she’s just bored silly. To each their own.

I have never felt the need to review anything in the past, but I feel this product is terribly over-rated. As an avid backpacker I am well used to carrying 40 plus pounds for many miles a day for a week at a time, and understand the importance of a balanced pack that fits well and distributes the load correctly. No matter how much I adjust it, the Ergo just doesn’t work for me. It has a nice wide hip belt, but unfortunately because the shoulder straps re-attach to the pack too high up toward your armpit, baby’s weight sits not on the belt, but almost entirely on the point of your shoulder, which in the forward carrying position pulls your shoulders forward. In addition the pack is a full 13.5 inches wide at the bottom where baby sits, requiring the poor child to split her legs straight out sideways to get into the carrier, which my 4 month old finds unbearable. The infant insert deals with this by providing a little cushion for baby to sit on, however now the legs face forward straight into your just-had-a-baby sized tummy where they get squashed once the pack is done up. Its also very, very hot for baby and wearer alike, and I find it awkward to get baby in and out of safely – one clip is located directly between your shoulder blades! I tried my best to love it for a full 4 months, but it just doesn’t work for me, my husband or my baby who screams every time I put her in it. I now have a BabyBjorn model with extra back support which we are thrilled with.

I borrowed one from a friend before laying out the dough for this carrier, and I’m sure glad I did. The Ergo did NOT work for us. My 9-month-old, 23-pound DD hated being smushed against my back. I found it uncomfortable to wear, even after many attempts to adjust the straps (plus it squished my chest in VERY unflattering ways — not great for a still-nursing mommy). I found I had to take her out after 20 minutes of wear, and that certainly won’t make this carrier last through a zoo trip or anything else. We’re now shopping for a baby backpack with a proper frame.

My daughter has tried many carriers and she says this is the best, it’s very comfortable and easy to wear and my 3 month old grandaughter loved it.
