    ERGO, ERGO, ERGO, ERGO!  I can't say it enough!!!

    Actually, I would say both! The Ergo is a godsend. It was the only thing my DD would even sleep in and still really needs the infant insert wrapped around her (minus the carrier!) to fall asleep for naps. I used it all the time from the first weeks until recently. Now she's in between the use of the insert and being big enough to face in, so we haven't used it in a little bit but I'm sure it will become as indispensable again in a few weeks.

    I also love the Bjorn. It's easy to put on, get her in and out, and she falls asleep in it happily. However, it only works for me and not my bigger and taller DH - it hits him in the wrong place in the back.

    If forced to choose, I would easily pick the Ergo, but have found the Bjorn really handy too.?

    Everyone loves the ERGO.  I don't have one, but I wish I had gotten one.  Then only advantage to the Bjorn is that baby can face forward when being worn in front.

    Hands down the Ergo!  Also, I'd get a Moby wrap too, it's great for napping and they can face out and it doesn't kill your back like the Bjorn.

    I'm another huge fan of the Ergo!  Love it! Make sure you get the infant insert as well.

    I think it depends a lot on you.  I'm sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear.  :) 

    I bought the moby wrap and a friend had the bjorn.  We both were in extreeeeeeme hate with our carriers, so we traded.  I adored the bjorn, and would still use it if I wasn't afraid my baby would break my back.  My hubz and I would argue over who got to wear the baby when we went out.  And my friend thinks the moby is the best thing ever.

    We used the Bjorn when she was little.  She's now 20lbs and too big for the Bjorn so I'm going to get an Ergo because it goes up to 40lbs.  If you think you'll want to use it when she's bigger and only want to get one, I'd get the Ergo.
