Lurker with an Ergo question

AmandaPaige6410

Hi ladies. I currently BW with the Moby, which I love, but I would like to get something else once my LO is bigger & older. Also something that is easier to put on and take off. I'm really short, 4'11", so would an Ergo work for me? Any other short moms love this product and is it worth the $? I was looking at the original if that helps, TIA!

I've read that petite moms have had problems with the Ergo & its bulky padding..  There are SSC reviews here:  https://www.thebabywearer.com/cgi-bin/reviews/reviews.pl?softstructuredcarriers

I love my mei tai, and I think it would fit a smaller person better. Just another thing to consider. I just have this one.

I am 5'0 ( with a short torso) and absolutely love it! It has always been comfortable to me.

I'm 5'0 and have an Ergo Performance. It is very comfortable for me (I never tried the regular or the sport). I got mine used (in very good condition) through a local babywearing group for $50.

Maybe you should look into getting one used, that way if you don't like it you didn't shell out tons of $$, and it still has some resale value.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I know I still have a good few months in the Moby, but I just want to be set.
