Baby Bjorn or Ergo?

joleynb · December 2010

I got a Moby wrap as a gift but I also want a carrier that DH is more comfortable wearing. I can't see him in that wrap Stick out tongue I am between the Ergo and the Baby Bjorn. Do any of you have a preference for one vs. the other, especially for a guy to wear? Thanks!

Do not get a Bjorn. They put a lot of stress on the baby's spine as well as the mom's. They are in essence, a piece of crap. Go with an Ergo or a Beco.

I have the Bjorn and Ergo (Bjorn for early use/ then Ergo for later on). MH prefers the Bjorn.

The Bjorn is bad for you and baby. Get an Ergo or Beco instead. Here is a link with some more info.

This. My DH doesn't mind wearing the Ergo.

We have the ergo and the beco- I love the Beco and DH is fine with it too. GL!

I'm going to try the Ergo because of the spine thing with the Bjorn. gl..

Some people can do the ergo with a newborn -- I find it a challenge. My husband loves our sleepy wrap (like a moby) -- you should have him try it.

Once the baby is older, I recommend the Ergo.

The Bjorn's are uncomfortable for you and the baby. Skip 'em.

I have both and recommend the Ergo. I registered for the Bjorn before I knew about the benefits of an Ergo (or similar) over the Bjorn. Just get the newborn/infant insert if you want to use it right away.
