Ok STMs, I registered today for the Baby Bjorn but now I'm wondering if the Ergo is a better choice? Suggestions welcome

    I've not tried the baby Bjorn but I have an ergo and I love it. I still use it with my daughter.

    I have heard good and bad about both so I don't think you can really go wrong with either. The bad Ibhave heard is mostly personal preferance things.

    Ergo is a lot better for baby's hips IMO.

    The ergo is a way better choice. The bjorn is not comfortable and it does not hold the baby properly. Google bjorn and hip issues and it should pull up some good articles.

    My daughter lived in the bjorn, sometimes it was the only way she'd calm down and sleep. NO hip problems and she was super comfy and cozy.

    Ergo for the win! We had both, i wore the bjorn once for 3 hours and it felt like my back was breaking. Ergo is MUCH better for mom and baby!!

    I read that the ergo is better for preventing hip dysplasia, so that's what I'm registered for.

    Anything other than a bjorn is always a better choice. :) You want something that will have baby's hips sitting, not hanging.

    Yes. Yep. And I have heard the ergo is way easier on your back as well. It's what I'm going with.

    FYI to help with the decision. Baby Bj?rns are no longer sold in parts of Europe due to some considerable concerns about hip displacement. The company has a new model that is based on an ergo-like shape and is under evaluation in those countries.

    Good to know I was actually registered for the Bjorn, but will have to seriously reconsider!

    Through my research about baby carriers, the Bjorn is known as a "crotch dangler", whereas baby's legs are dangling and is literally dangling....similar to straddling something.  In the Ergo, the baby's knees are elevated more in a sitting position - better for hips.

    I definitely went with the Ergo and didn't even consider the Bjorn.
