Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Which Ergo do you have/recommend?

We didn't use a carrier with DS. I feel like I'll need my hands more free this time. :) We bought a Baby K'Tan, but are also looking at an Ergo. Not having used one before, I can't decide between the standard, sport, or performance Ergos. Any advice?

(I'm 5'9 and DH is 6'1 if that factors in.)

Re: Which Ergo do you have/recommend?

  • I got the sport and really like it.  I never tried any of the others but I read that the sport is lighter/ more breathable than the original and has more padding in the straps than the performance (for comfort) making the best one all around.

    Babysteals.com occasionally has Ergos for half price (usually the sport, last time I remember an organic one and the original in pink- no performance ones on there as of yet).  If you're not in a hurry you can check there.  I've also seen people selling their gently used ones on spotscorner.com from time to time.

    I agree with pp that it would be great to have a pocket on the sport- for my dogs' poopy bags and my cell phone- but I think I can whip up a clip on pouch or something.

  • I have the sport, I got it for 50 something on babysteals.  I really, really like it and use it all the time.  My only complaint is that there are no pockets.  If I'm wearing jeans, it's no big deal, but if I have leggings or yoga pants on it drives me bonkers.  I really love that they have that hood that you can put over baby.

  • I have the sport, love it! I'm 5' 4" and DH is 6'3" and we both wear it no prob. I use a little pouch with a carabiner and clip it on when I am shopping. The Ergo is absolutely the best 100 bucks I have EVER spent!

  • We also have the sport as well and love it.  I chose the sport b/c it's more lightweight and breathable, something important to me since we live in FL.

  • I have the regular one, got it at Babies R Us. We love it, especially now that Dd can sit normally in it.  I've tried the Sport, but it didn't seem different to me.
