Pros: Easy to pack and transport, Easy to use, VERY comfortable, User friendly and versitile!!
Cons: Kinda pricey, but worth it!!
Summary: I started searching for a new back carrier when my son was a year old. I had a old Gerry framed backpack carrier that I used quite a bit with him to do chores around the house, but couldn't wear him for more than 20minutes at a time or my shoulders would ... read more

Pros: Extra support on your back
Cons: Little hard to position your baby
Summary: I always used Baby Bjorn for my babies but once they're big (like 6, 7 months old), Baby Bjorn is not big enough so I switch to Ergo. It is comfortable, sturdy and baby loves being carried on my back, too!I'm hands free, can do more work, it's

Pros: I can still carry my two year old and enjoy long walks.
Cons: K would prefer to be on own his adventures, but that's not the sling's fault.
Summary: I bought this item about four months ago when my son was twenty months. I found that my previous slings were putting too much of his weight onto my shoulders and I just couldn't continue carrying him without a sling that would distribute his weight down

Pros: If made properly, it would have been a lovely carrier!
Cons: No head support for sleeping children.
Horrible customer service.
Bad company to do business with
Summary: I received this great carrier for a gift and mostly love it except it is the older model where the sleeping head support was ALWAYS way too large to support my baby's head. I just thought he needed to grow into it. I then learned ergo fixed

Pros: Ergonomic, lots of different positions.
Cons: too restricting, baby is uncomfortable.
Summary: Every time I put my baby in the ergobaby she screams. She hates being squashed against me and her little legs can't spread far enough to go around my waist. I really want this to work so I try over and over and every time she screams,

Pros: distributes baby weight well
Cons: baby can't face out, difficult to use
Summary: i purchased this from a place i can return it to- thank god! while it did distribute the baby's weight better than a bjorn, that is all i can say to recommend it. it is difficult to back load, the canvas is scratchy on bare shoulders, the waistband

Pros: I like the width and heavy materials
Cons: Waist webbing, cuts into my stomach
The body is too short.
Shoulder pads are bulky.
Summary: I have tried many baby carriers and I must say the Ergo is one of the least comfortable I have tried. The side buckle on the waist webbing makes it cut deeply into my stomach making it unbearable for me to wear. The body is not near tall enough for my 14

Pros: An inflated feeling of self importance for having the "it" baby carrier
Cons: No written instructions for use, dangerous
Summary: I bought this baby carrier thinking that it was better than the Baby Bjorn and found it to be way to complicated. It came with a THIRTY MINUTE video of how to put it on, but in order to GET to the 30 minute video, I had to sit through a preachy video on

Pros: great colours! fantastic on the back. Comfortable, easy to use and looks fantastic!!!
Cons: you cant carry the baby outwards which denies them of the view.
Summary: by far the best carrier ever! i own the baby bjorn which is only really suited for the first six months and causes horrible pain in the shoulders and lower back even with back support. I carried my baby at 2 weeks for a block and i was in agony the whole

Pros: Sturdy, baby loves to sleep in it, comfortable, they thought of everything
Cons: Tricky to get baby on
Summary: Within the first hour of putting my 19 lb., 6-month old son in the Ergo, he was sleeping and I accomplished so many tasks. This product has really changed my life. My baby would not nap and was getting too hard to carry around in one arm. I can't believe

Pros: Front Carry is fine
Cons: Hip and Back carry difficult to do alone.
Summary: I'm updating my review. Originally I gave a poor review saying that the hip and back load were too difficult. I have to say with a lot of practice I've become more successful with the backload and it has served useful around the house. I'm still too

Pros: Ease of use and comfort
Cons: If I had to put one it would be shoulder adjustments
Summary: We bought the ergo after our first daughter outgrew the bjorn and we can't believe how great it is! We now use it constantly in all three positions and love it. The new baby is in this carrier more than the bjorn since she could go in right after

Pros: Comfortable, healthy for parent and child.
Cons: Pricey but worth it.
Summary: If you are looking for a versatile carrier that you would like to use from birth through 30 months then look no further. This ergonomically designed carrier can shift weight to other areas of the body so it doesn't pull on your lower back like most

Pros: Works great as a carrier
Cons: Not as durable as I'd hoped
Summary: I bought my ergo just before pregnancy and didn't use it till my child was about 4 months old (about a year ago). Almost as soon as I started using it, my child spit up on it, and when I spot-cleaned it with Mother's Little Helper (an enzyme spray that

Pros: lightweight, varied carrying positions
Cons: no forward facing position, if you like that
Summary: I purchased my Ergo carrier, along with the newborn insert, before my daughter was born, and I'm glad I did. Once I started running errands after her birth, carrying her around was so easy, especially since she was around 5 pounds. She was practically

Pros: Can carry in three positions. Has a hood for keeping head up while sleeping.
Cons: Infants need insert
Summary: This is my favorite carrier ever. I bought an Ergo because I wanted a comfortable carrier that i could carry my 17month daughter in. It works great for anything from the grocery store to hiking. I can even nurse her in the front position. The hood is

Pros: Easy to use and great on my back, and long term use
Cons: wacky hood - it would be better if it was removable
Summary: I bought one when my daughter was 4 months old, and started using it right away. She is so comfortable in this carrier, and it is really great for me too. Now that she is 6+ months old we have started to put her in the back-pack carry position and she

Pros: comfortable, compact, goes on front or back, sturdy, fits wide range of kids and parents
Cons: takes some practice, can't face child out in front, can be warm in summer
Summary: We've used the ergo for our daughter since she was about 6 months old. Used a Baby Bjorn before that, but LONG before she reached the 22 lb. limit, it was killing my shoulders. Got an Ergo and never looked back--and never used our frame backpack either

Pros: Easy on your back, compact, lightweight
Cons: None
Summary: I was hesitant to purchase the Ergo baby carrier at first because of the cost but I must say it is WELL worth it. Baby's weight is distributed evenly on your back (I have not used it in the front position). I had been using a sling since my daughter

Pros: Lightweight, makes my back feel better, packs nicely for travel.
Cons: hard to use, can "smush" child when bending, crouching.
Summary: My husband and I have very mixed feelings about this product. Its is good, in that it distributes your child's weight against your lower back. Much more comfortable than a backpack or sling. We like that it is lightweight, easy to pack and travel

Pros: Comfortable, wear front or back, storage pockets
Cons: can't think of any.
Summary: The Ergo Baby Carrier is very comfortable and I barely feel my son's weight (approx 23 lbs). He's happy in it too and love's to ride piggyback. I ordered the carrier from myfavoritebabycarrier.com (link below)and had a very positive experience. The
