Ergo vs. Lillebaby

So after doing a ton of research, I was pretty sure I wanted to get an Ergo.  A few weeks ago, though, we took a trip to Buy Buy Baby and DH started drooling over the Lillebaby display (out of all things I never expected him to have an opinion on...).  He wears a harness frequently for his job and thinks that the Lillebaby "rigging" seems much sturdier, more comfortable, and less "hot" than the Ergo.  I am not convinced.  Anyone have any info that may sway me to stand my ground or cave?

  • I'm a serious bsbywearer and have nover heard of the carrier before. A lot of people use the Ergo on a daily basis and love them. The thing that concerns me about this one is that you have to make adjustments to make sure it correctly fits baby's legs correctly and I've seen too many people with carriers like that who don't make the change and baby ends uphanging from their crotch.

  • I love my ergo.  I looked up the lillebaby on Amazon... and honestly it looks a lot the ergo... However, the front-facing option looks awful.  As PP said, baby ends up crotch-dangling.  Babies don't need to face out.  They get overstimulated and it's bad for them to be positioned like that.

  • I have a Lillebaby and LOVE it. It's lighter, has more options and in my opinion is much sturdier. I don't like that the Ergo tells you that you have to wear your baby in. What if your baby refuses to be in? Just toss the thing? I prefer options so I can choose to do with my baby and what works for us.
  • I don't have either but the Lillebaby is on sale on babysteals for $54 right now.  Just FYI if you go that route.

    Yes

    I finally convinced my DH when DS was 3 months old. I wish I just would have bought the thing to begin with. Such a lifesaver! I watched mine on Amazon for awhile and got a fairly good deal on it ($104 shipped).

    MH and I each have our own babycarriers.  That way, we each got what we wanted and we never have to adjust them for our different sizes.  We share our Moby though.
