A great carrier, but not perfect

Posted

Pros: Easy on the back even with a heavy toddler. Better hood than Ergo sport.

Cons: Impossible to back carry without a cooperative toddler and a couch. Hard to get on by yourself, even for front carry positions.

I am mostly happy with the Ergo organic except for the difficulties in getting it on (and for front carry, off), both for wearing an infant or toddler. It is wonderful once on- your child is worn close and it's incredibly comfortable except for the chest strap over the breasts in back carry.  Definitely a step up from the usual "crotch dangler" carriers, but the difficulty with the on/off process means I still revert to them when trying to wear one of my kids to sleep.  Infant insert for the Ergo is also an extra 30 to 40 dollars, but is included with carriers like the Beco.

We've worn our's to death!

Pros: both hubs and I can wear this carrier, comfy for our three year old or 10 month old, front and back carry, cozy for sleeping with the hood

Cons: waist strap isn't flattering for the "mummy tummy", chest strap cuts across full milky breasts :(

Loved the Ergo! Our two boys have spent countless hours of cuddle time in our's.

Pros: Comfortable for parents and baby, hood for sleeping, easy to adjust

Cons: infant insert works but is awkward and hot, can't face outward
