Ergo causing bad neck pain?
Has anyone else had this happen from their Ergo? It is my only guess as to what is causing this pain because it is right across the top of my back/base of my neck where the strap goes. Essentially very high up between my shoulder blades. It also only started once I started wearing DD for longer periods of time in there - I walked to and from preschool pick up with her in it last Thursday and have had the pain ever since. I have the new Performance one and have noticed it is different from my friend's classic version, so I don't know how that plays into it. I feel like if I could adjust it so that strap hit lower down between my shoulder blades I'd be fine but it doesn't move....
Anyone have any pointers? DD isn't even 15 lbs and she's not quite 4 months and I was hoping for this to be our main carrier from here on out.... I like it for ease of use but this is really not going to work if it always causes me problems like this.

Re: Ergo causing bad neck pain?
I had teh same problem with teh Beco, so I slid the strap down UNDER my shoulder blades. I know it's not what the directions say but it's the only way I can wear DS.
ETA:I didn't read that you have the performance one... Sorry! Is it possible to move the straps if you resewed them on?
Maybe, but I have no idea how to go about doing that!
I will try that, thank you!
