comparison of Ergo carriers

kalu10 · October 2010

I am trying to decide which Ergo model to purchase. I am looking at the Sport and Performance models and can't see much of a difference between the two. Has anyone used either of these models? Does everyone like their Ergos? Thanks!

I am trying to decide as well. ?Although I don't like the look of the Sport so I am trying to decide between the Performance and the Regular or Organic. The only thing that might help my decision is that DH said he might use the performance one (grey) because it looks "manly".

I have a Sport and love it. I tried on a Performance (mostly b/c I love the green color) and did not find it to be as comfortable. It was too stiff for me. The straps were also not as long as the Sport so it didn't fit my very tall husband at all.

The regular is HOT. That's all I can say so unless you don't plan to use it in warmer climates pass on it and get the Performance or Sport.

We went with the performance because it was lighter and the fabric seemed cooler. It fits my 6'4" husband.

We're going with the Sport because it is supposed to be the coolest, with venting in the fabric, as well as the best adjustable for bigger people. My DH is 6'3"+ big frame + extra pounds. The Sport has a longer waist belt then the original, AND it's compatible with the waist belt adjuster, which the Performance is not.
