Ergo Options great buy!, April 12, 2011

I switched to the ergo carrier after my doctor recommended them to me. She uses these for her own children. The way that the baby sits in these carriers is better for their development because their legs aren't spread so wide until they're older, and all their weight isn't on their "bottom". Much better for the babies hip development to! The carrier can carry up to 45 pounds and can carry small newborns with the heart2heart insert (which is wonderful). I originally had the baby bjorn carrier which I used for a few weeks, but it would make the middle of my back sore. After switching to this carrier it was so nice because the babies weight is on my hips more than my back. I have used this for cross country travel, being on airplanes and in airports all day, and it was a lifesaver! Baby and mommy where comfortable! I recommend these to everyone I know trying to decided what carrier to choose. I am very happy with this, and love how long I can get use out of it!!

I love my ergo options carrier! We were using a baby bjorn before we got it and I couldn't carry my son very far after he reached about 15lbs or so because there was so much weight focused on my shoulders. With the ergo there is better weight distribution, so a lot of baby's weight is on your hips which feels much more natural. My son really liked to be facing forward in the bjorn so he could see everything so I was worried that he wouldn't like the ergo since there's no option to face out, but he's gotten used to it and seems to be fine just looking to the side now that he has better neck control. I am excited about the option to use it as a backpack later on too!
The options is a good choice because you can mix up the look of it; I've already gotten several compliments on mine from friends who have plain colored ergos :)
Also, I LOVE that it has zipper pockets! It's such a simple addition but it makes a huge difference to be able to have my keys and phone right there where...Read more

I am so happy I found my ERGO on Amazon. It was the best baby purchase I ever made. My son is now 18 months old and he STILL fits in it weighing in at 28 lbs. I have 2 herniated discs in my back and even after wearing my son for an hour or two my back doesn't hurt. This is seriously the best carrier ever!
