    I'm with Mel, i do like my ergo, but it's not my fave.

    My beetlebum carrier and pikkolo get used more than my ergo.
    Same, I love my beetlebums (have a half buckle and full buckle) but I also had the beco butterfly II which is really good and supportive, and the babyhawk Oh Snap was ok cept it dug into my back fat, but since you're not fat, you won't have that problem.. LOL

    I clicked to see who that was

    I love my ergo and started at 3 months with DD, but she's quite big for her age and had good head control. Starting to try her on my back now too... she's not so keen however.
    I might buy one of thes other ones if we have another baby though

    Love love love my ergo!!!! So worth it. DH loves it too. Cant wait to use it with this bub around 3mths. Dont have nb insert as ive been told by many that they didnt like them so i am just waiting til bub old enough to fit into it properly which wont be long anyway!
    And I have 2 other slings (close carrier and another one) in the meantime to use for the newborn period

    I got the 'suck pads' with mine too, so worth it!! We had it since DD was 7mths old and we'd wished we'd bought it when she was 3mths old!!

    I love mine. It's the current fave carrier. I got it at the PBC expo, but can't remember how big a bargain it was. We stopped using the insert when DD was just a few days shy of 4 months.

    I will bring it and insert to the meetup, if you want, and you can try it? Just remind me though, I have mummy mushbrain.

    Love my ergo gets used lots!!!

    I have used it without an insert from 4 months with both boys (didnt like insert so didnt use ergo until 4 months for this reason.

    DS1 is nearly 3 and weights about 14.5kg and I can carry on my back and be very comfortable!!

    Aug last year I had DS2 in stroller and DS1 on my back and walked all the way down to the nobbies (phillip island) and back up. Also have climbed hanging rock with DS1 on my back.

    love my ergo!! and to get the starp on between the shoulder blades, I loosen it to buckle then pull the strap ti tighten..I found that is much easier

    We used the insert up until 3is months? by then it was pretty uncomfy for her..
