Baby Products Reviews of Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining
Customer Review: SO great, but a few drawbacks
Summary: 4 Stars
PROS:
-SUPER comfortable. Perfectly distributes weight to your hips like a good mountaineering backpack
-Lasts much longer than other carriers thanks to higher weight rating
-Sleeping hood encourages baby to sleep by blocking out the world while also supporting her head while you move freely about
-Dads think it's as cool as Moms
-Carrying your baby in the Ergo is like holding your baby in a secure bear hug for hours - but with no arm fatigue!
CONS:
-Canvas material is not breathable, so heat/sweat can really build up with parent & baby pressed so tightly together
-Baby might get frustrated at times (like mine) at not being able to have a full view of the world
The pros obviously outweigh the cons. This carrier really is awesome, but we also have a basic ring sling for hotter days and those where we want my daughter to get to see the whole world around her. Both have their different advantages, and I'd highly recommend having one of each (and skip the Baby Bjorn type carriers altogether - not worth the price for how quickly they'll be outgrown).
Customer Review: Great for European Travels
Summary: 5 Stars
We just spent several months in Europe and we can't say enough about our Ergo Carrier. It made our travels so much easier. We were able to climb stairways in castles and visit museums, historical monuments and in many other places where strollers or metal framed carriers are not allowed. Our daughter loved it as well. It is very compact for packing and very easy to clean. I am a 5'2" mom and my daughter is 2 years. When I needed to put her on my back by myself, I would either use the bed or a flat place to lay her on and then lift her up on my back. I was able to walk for several hours with her and she often napped there as well. We would recommend this carrier to anyone heading overseas.Customer Review: Very comfortable and well made
Summary: 4 Stars
Very comfortable to wear and well made. Our baby is just turned 4 months. He is still too small for the carrier. We tried it around the house and found it satisfactory. It will make a great back carrier when the weather turns nice and we get a chance to get out. Cannot stress how comfortable and nicely supported the carrier is. Makes carrying a breeze.
Only complaint with the design is that you cannot carry the baby facing forward or away from your body. It takes a bit of a practice to getting the carrier on and securing the baby all by yourself.
Customer Review: love this carrier
Summary: 5 Stars
I am one of those moms who is always carrying their babies. I have had several different carriers over the years and this is hands down my favorite. I carry my 12 month old in it for several hours over the course of my day. He naps well and seems very comforable. He enjoys being up at the level of other people. I am able to work/shop with him close to me and with my hands free, so we are both happy.
I like the Ergo because it holds him securely, distributes his weight well accross his hips and thighs and also accross my shoulders and hips.
It is very durrable & flexable. I carry him in the front or back. I have even had my 5 year old in it on my back and it was comfortable for both of us (asside from her embarassment of being in a "baby carrier").
Customer Review: Great for heavy toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
We got the ergo when our son was almost a year, and wished we had had it from his birth. I am short (5'4"), and my son is now 38" and 35 pounds, and I am still able to carry him comfortably (even up San Francisco hills while on vacation).
