We bought another one when our son was born because we thought we might save a few pounds and we really regretted it because it was a very uncomfortable carrier for both our son and us, and when he was 4 months we could no longer use it: he was too big for it and we hated it anyway. We thought our carrier days were over and that we could do without one, but month after month I kept thinking I should get another one. We live in a first floor flat and going up and down the stairs with the buggy just to go literally round the corner to buy some milk was so cumbersome that most times I didn't bother to go out at all (for quick trips), not to mention other social occasions (visiting friends with no room for a buggy in their flats),
I was skeptical of this product as it really just looks like a belt with a bit of fabric on the front. but it is way more than that. You can hardly feel the baby you are carrying. Even at 9 months my little one fells like a newborn in it. I have worn it for over an hour without even thinking about it. I just wish I had bought it when she was smaller, so I can use it for longer. Even though she is facing me, she loves being carried in it as she can see everything. She hasn't fallen asleep in it yet so I can't review the sleeping hood. It is so easy to adjust, every carrier should have straps like this. Pull them out to looses, in to tighten. End of story. I really can't recommend this enough,
My son is both very long and very heavy (10 pounds 10 ounces at birth!), and I bought this carrier after a friend recommended it as comfortable even with bigger/older babies. I wish I had known about it earlier! I have tried the wallaboo sling (he seemed to be too long and never really comfy) and the baby bjorn (which was fine up to about 4 months, but after that I got sore shoulders after carrying him for a while), and the ergo baby is by far my favourite. My son, who is now 8 months, seems very content and I have walked long distances with him and had no problems at all.My friend had a caesarean section and she said this carrier was great because the waist band gave her excellent support.
I bought this product not once, but twice! Firstly for our daughter who is now 1 year old (and still using it regularly) and then for my sister's new baby, as we loved ours so much. It's so much more comfortable than any other carrier we tried, and our daughter has used it almost daily since she was four months old. The straps are wide and cushioned, and baby's legs are in a straddle position so as not to put pressure on their back or pelvis. I bought the black one as me and my husband both wanted to use it. It seems a bit tricky to put on to start with, but after you've done it a couple of times it becomes easy. There are also videos on youtube showing how to put it on easily which we found helpful.
This is the best baby carrier hands down that I've come across!!! Unfortunately, I had to go through 2 others to find this one. Save your time & money and buy this one first! I first bought the 'Closer' Sling but my daughter sat so badly in it that I thought she's going to develop a scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and she also didn't like it very much. Then the next one was the Baby Bjoern (my partner is Swedish), which was OK. But at 6 months (my daughter weighed 8kg by then) I started to struggle as the carrier started to cut into my shoulder muscles and really hurt after 30 minutes (and I weight train) and drained my energy. Also the Baby Bjoern is not meant to be used straight from birth as it is not secure enough.
At first I was worried by all the reviews about fake ergo baby carriers sold on Amazon, so I contacted ErgoBaby Uk (on Facebook) asking for reassurance and I got this reply:[...] Amazon.co.uk are authorised retailers, once you buy direct from Amazon and not a third party seller.Happy babywearing! [...]So I went for it.I must say that it is definitely better than the other carrier (other brand) that I had (I didn't choose that, it was a gift). I gave up using it because my back ached a lot and looked uncomfortable for my baby's legs. With this one, however, I can barely feel my baby's weight even with the front position (he's 8kg now). The belt that goes round your waist is the key to an even distribution of the weight on your back.
I purchased this for my daughter and have got more than my money's worth! She is now over 2 years old and regularly travels on my back in it. I cannot imagine carrying a child of that age in any other sling/carrier! My son is 4 months and he happily falls asleep in it. The positives: Very comfortable for parents with padded waist belt and shoulder straps; easy to use (once you practice!); the children love it! The negatives: we have the old infant insert and it was fiddly and quite hot in the summer. I think the new version may be a better design. All in all, it is a brilliant product. You cannot even compare it to a Baby Bjorn,
Authentic Ergo, confirmed by Ergo at a good price. I chose this after doing quite a bit of research and I wouldn't be without the carrier, but I don't like carrying my baby on my back with it or on my hip I find those options uncomfortable and awkward. If my baby is sleepy he falls asleep in no time and this would be great for a newborn with an insert, but my baby was 7 months old when I got this and he often pushes against me and wants to look around, so if i were to choose again I think I'd buy the 360 instead. Depends on how long you want to use the for. It is comfy with baby on the front and I can easily carry an 18lbs baby around for over an hour without back pain.
It is a very good baby carrier. I have done a lot of research until I found this one. Most of baby carriers on the market can not be used to carry a toddler. The one which can be used to carry a toddler (those john lewis ones) look ugly (they look like they have a build-in chair) and weigh 2 kg itself. Ergo baby carrier is light and soft. I use it to carry my 1 year old and she loves to sit in it. It is just like carrying a heavy shoulder bag. For my daughter, it is just like having a piggy back ride with some hands under her bottoms.Anyway, great product, I can't recommend it more. Especially for long haul flight if you need the transfer, very very helpful.
My Original Ergo Carrier arrived this morning. I'm not one to write reviews but feel I couldn't resist as I was so unsure about buying myself so want to reassure others. It's fantastic! I had a baby bjorn for my first born which killed my shoulders even at 12 weeks old however my second is 7 months old and I've just taken him out after 2 hours walking and didn't have the slightest bit of discomfort as most of the weight is on your hips - great for toning your bum!! He loved it, I even have him his bottle in there. I have two babies under 2 so this for me is a dream as I don't need to lug the push chair everywhere now. It's super easy to put the baby in too.
I was very concerned after reading a few reviews on this product. There is no doubt that the Ergo carriers are far superior than other carriers. It is a bit difficult to put on when alone, but with practice I am sure it will become easier.As for all the reviewers who state the product night be counterfeit, I have done some thorough research and contacted Ergo UK, who confirmed, as Amazon.co.uk did, that they are authorised retailers for Ergo.People should be careful before posting and accusing Amazon.co.uk of selling fakes. I spent 48 hours doubting my purchase and doing research and contacting Ergo UK until I got the answer I expected. And in writing.
This is very comfortable and not too hard to put on. I love this sling, a must when you have a baby who hates the pram and you have to run after a 3 year old in the park. Love the details of the larg pocket on the front for bits and the sleep hood to hold the babys head in place.The only bad thing is that you can't have baby facing outwards on the front otherwise a very well thought out products.
This is a great product. I have found that the Ergo baby carrier offers the best value for money. It enables you to carry a child from infant up to toddler with no problem at all. And as you carry the weight on your hip it takes pressure off your back, unlike other carriers on the market. My babies have all been happy in the Ergo. Definitely a must for all mums and dads!
This baby carrier is awesome. I can carry my 4 month old baby in it or, if I need to, my 3 year old son if he refuses to walk. It comes in one easy piece and so doesn't require messing around with too many straps like other carriers I have tried.It is expensive but I can definitely see myself getting a lot of use out of it. I love it and would definitely recommend it.
Put off buying one of these for months as generally very expensive. Managed to get it for a steal here and its been a great addition to the baby gadget collection. Mostly used when out walking the dog in areas that arent pram friendly. Puts the little guy straight to sleep. Will be useful on clingy days too although does get uncomfortable after wearing for a while.
