Are these legitimate, cheap, Ergos?

thehillsarealive0000 · July 2012

So I read on the baby gear board (and below) about Amazon selling Bobas from unauthorized sellers. Well I am shopping and found these Ergos. Several are under $100. How do I know if they are legit? The $99 and $95 ones say sold and shipped by Amazon. Any help is appreciated.

Good to know. I've been looking at baby carriers.

I agree knock offs. I would stick to buying from Ergo direct or a retailer listed on the Ergo website.

Although I bought mine from thefoundary.com at a discounted price but it was shipped from Ergo directly.

Costco in my area is currently selling the Original Ergo for $80 right now, so if you're a Costco shopper, be on the lookout!

Although, nothing about those Amazon carriers you linked look knock off to me and the reviews don't either, and the prices are on par with what I'm seeing in stores (the star one is $89.99 on Amazon and $80 at Costco right now, for example). I don't think those are knock offs.

ETA: I guess based on the post below, you should call Ergo to confirm the seller is authorized.

Here's a post on how to spot a fake Ergo.

I don't know if this helps right now, since they could have photos of the real ones on the website and then send you a fake, but if you do end up ordering one and want to know if it's legit the post explains how to tell.
