Ergo Baby - Organic Carrier - Chocolate/Kona

 (40 customer reviews)

Let me start by saying it took until baby two to finally buy this carrier even though we had been storing it in our amazon wish list since baby one was about 6 months old. We have one sling, one wrap, two carriers (including a hiking one and a front or back facing one) and have always been a bit underwhelmed with the carriers until this one! The other carriers thus far have been a little uncomfortable for wearer and baby, as well as complicated to put on/take off. We just got this last night and I put my 2 year old (30 lbs) in it like a back pack. She and I both loved it and let me say this is a fussy Dad and a fussy 2 year old so I assure you one of us would have had a problem with it pretty quickly if there was one to have. So far no regrets and I only wish we would have saved our money and bought this a year or two ago.

We bought it for our 6 month old and will test it out with her today so hopefully this isn't jumping the gun, however judging from how it felt with...Read more

I love our organic Ergo and can't wait to use it for our newborn when she's a bit bigger. I found the Heart to Heart insert to be a bit unwieldy and honestly, I always worry about baby becoming overheated while in the insert and carrier. We used this wonderfully for her first two weeks, but now (at 10 weeks) she and I become so uncomfortably hot that I had to resort to Craigslist to get a Baby Bjorn Air. I know that the insert is to be used until she's just 4 months, but with a newborn, that's like a lifetime, so I'd say go with a Bjorn to start and then the Ergo if you can afford it. Baby is much happier, and mom is a lot cooler, literally. I know the longevity of the Ergo outweighs the Bjorn, but in the short term, I wouldn't recommend it for a newborn.

This is the first time I have ever written a review. I felt the need to tell other moms out there that this is the best $120.00 I have spent since having my baby!!! I bought the Ergo Baby when my little guy was 5 months old. He is 9.5 months now and still loves it. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. He LOVES it!! I don't know how moms can live with out it. I also had the Baby Bijorn and I can say, this is SOOOO much more comfortable for mommy and baby. My husband also loves it and goes on long walks with baby on his back. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is a little difficult to put baby on your back without help... But, it can be done. Just make sure to do it over a couch! Hope you enjoy yours as much as we love ours!
