I just got my Ergo carrier and absolutely LOVE it as well. My son is
now 6 months old and I just returned from a 2 day trip to Catalina
Island. He was in the Ergo carrier on my BACK 90% of the trip...he
loved it (very happy, looking all around, playing with my hair, fell
asleep) and so did I! It is sooo much more comfortable than a frame
backpack. And it comes with a neat flap that you pull up over the baby's
head when they fall asleep so their head doesn't flop. I even figured
out how to nurse him in it when he was in it in front. I wish I'd had
this carrier when my older 2 were little.

I just wanted to let you know that we got the Ergo carrier on Saturday&used
it right away at the Farmer's Market & the Zoo. Liam loves it& so
do I! It's so comfortable to wear him in it, unlike anything else
I've tried (NoJo Babysling, Maya Wrap, Tough Traveler...) but yet easy
to use. I intuitively put him in it forward-facing first & carefully
slid him around to my back, readjusting one shoulder strap at a time,
while holding one of his arms, with hubby standing by just in case. He
was impressed at how quickly I got the hang of it! Then when I put the
Ergo on Sunday morning so that we could walk to the bakery down the
street, Liam squealed with delight when he saw me putting it on! And we
have walked the dog every day since Saturday!

Hi Trish...I got the ERGO this morning and love it! I went for a three mile hike
and my back, shoulders didn't hurt at all! I do think you should mention to potential
waist extender customers that it only adds a few inches, but it fits me great
with the extention! - Customer from Virginia
The Ergo Carrier was amazing. I never thought that I'd be able to find a
comfortable carrier for my 43 pound daughter--but I did! The Ergo was
perfect for our trip to Paris. We were able to carry our daughter through
museums when she got tired and it was comfortable for both me and my husband
to use. My daughter even fell asleep in it! That is truly a testament to
how comfortable she felt. Her long nap bought me two extra hours in the
Louvre--that in and of itself was worth it! We used it every day on our
trip and it was perfect. We didn't have to bring a long a stroller and it
rolled up and fit nicely into our day bag.
My husband adds: It is a wonderful design that is remarkably effective! It
was comfortable to wear and it balanced and distributed the weight of my
child nicely. I have a history of back trouble, and the Ergo carrier didn't
bother my back at all.
And did I mention that our daughter loved being in it?
