Parenting after a Loss

Do you love your Ergo?

I've been debating buying one for months.  Will is 7 months old and I still put him in the Baby Bjorn quite a bit; I'm thinking that the Ergo might be better for him long-term.  If you have one, do you love it?  Do you always wear LO in front or do you sometimes wear it as more of a backpack?  If so, can they still see over your shoulder?  I'm either buying it today or moving on. :)  Also, just for fun, what color/pattern do you have?

Re: Do you love your Ergo?

  • I'll let you know after tomorrow!  I bought one off BabySteals and I'm going shopping with my mom tomorrow so I'll be using it for the first time.  I tried it around the house and it seems very comfy.  I have the black organic with embroidery - not what I would have chosen if I could have had something different, but it was the only one left by the time I got to BabySteals.

  • DH uses ours, and DD has only just started to like it.  (We have a really ugly one that DH chose - black with this blue-green pattern on the hood).  I find it hard to put on when I'm alone, so I stick with my sling (hip carry) or my Moby.  But I do think it's great.  We had a Bjorn but quickly gave it away because it hurt to wear!  The Ergo does not hurt.
  • I love love love the ergo. DS took a 2 hour nap in it yesterday. It's so much more comfortable than the bjorn. I haven't triedthe backcarry yet so I'm not sure how well LO can see. You can try asking the AP ladies. I also love that the ergo has a pocket. It's very convenient for when we're out or on a walk. I have the cranberry color.
  • I LOVE my Ergo.  I really liked it when I first got it but the infant insert made it a little uncomfortable.  Now that we don't use the insert anymore I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  It's my top recommended thing for new moms when people ask me :)

  • So far Nico seems uncomfortable in it.  He liked it as a newborn with the infant insert and I hope he'll like it when he gets a little bigger.

  • I do love it.  I've worn it on my back and in front.  It gets easier to put on each time.  You can also do a hip carry, which I haven't tried yet.  I use it around the house and I like it a lot outdoors. 

    I have the galaxy gray pattern.
