she fits in the Ergo!

i tried DD in the ergo this morning, and she fits great! i've been using a beco butterfly II (with infant insert), but i got the ergo as a gift (without the insert), so it's been sitting in my closet.  I think I'm going to like it better...it seems like it will keep me a little cooler than the beco does. 

Quick question though...is it supposed to be awkward buckling that back between-the-shoulder snap?  I always kept that one buckled on the beco, and slid DD in by leaving the one shoulder buckle undone.

Slide that buckle up so it's closer to your neck and you can reach it. I had it further down, and it was ridiculous to try to get it closed. It's fine now that I slid it up.

The ergo is my only soft structured/buckle carrier, but I like it a lot. I've had LO in there since about 2 months, no insert.

Yes move the buckle up! I thought people were crazy for loving Ergo's until I moved my buckle up...actually it was until I realized that it even moved up! I thought it was in a fixed position but no of course Ergo's are more customizable then that! Now of course I adore my Ergo.

Incidentally, you can use the Ergo without an insert for babies. You just roll up a blanket and put it under their bum (in the froggie position) In fact, I still put a blanket under my daughter and she has graduated to the legs apart position. but she's an itty bitty thing. She's just over 15 lbs. and she's 9 months!
