Anyone have a Pikkolo baby carrier?

I have been considering ERGO, but I don't really want to buy a wrap for infancy and then a carrier for older baby.  The infant insert in the Ergo seems to say it is going to be too hot for the baby in the summer.  I am now considering a Pikkolo because it is similar to the ergo (with the baby wearing belt) and you can use it right away.   Do you like yours?

    No experiance with the Pikkolo but just wanted to share that someone on 3rd tri board posted a link to baby steals.  They have the Ergo for sale, the cheapest being $57.  We have a bjorn that we'll use for the infant stage but I really didn't like it once DS was heavier.  I'm figuring that with two under two this baby will need to be carried a lot.

    Yes, I know it is on babysteals.  But spending $65 on something that I won't use until he is older seems silly if I could just buy one thing and use it through all stages.  Wraps seems to run $50-60 and the baby steals deal is $68.  I could get the Pikkolo for $130 and it could be used right away.

    Hmmm, I googled and it seems like you can use a light weight swaddling blanket instead of the insert to keep the babies legs "fogged up".  Maybe I'll suck it up and buy the ergo.  I wonder how the Ergo is if you are super short waisted...

    ETA: I am going to just hold off.  I like the multiple carries of the pikkolo too.  I just can't commit today.  LOL!

    I have one for DD and I LOVE it.  I hated the Ergo.  I liked that I could carry on the front both forward and rear facing (DD HATED facing in).  It's quite comfortable as well. 

    ETA:  if you have any stores that carry one, I'd check it out.  I drove about 90min to a store that carried the Ergo (which I borrowed from a friend for a weekend), the Pikkolo, and the Beco.  It also had a bunch of wraps, etc.  That settled the deal for me on the Pikkolo.  BUT, I can imagine others liking others better.  If you don't have a local store, try asking on a cloth diaper board or something similar.  Many CD moms are passionate about babywearing and may let you look at theirs.
