Do you love your Ergo??

[nickle730]

What am I doing wrong? How do I do up the back strap without contorting myself and dislocating a shoulder??

Sorry to hijack...

I am also looking at getting an ergo but am tossing up between the normal and the performance. Has anyone used/heard anything about the performance?

Thanks

I have the performance, it is very comfy and apparently 1/3 lighter than the normal one, and not as chunky looking. It is much comfier to wear on my back than on the front. I have used it on long walks as well as around the house for long periods of time, and love how the weight is distributed. I also a sleepywrap, a mei tai and an African sling. My favourite by far is the sleepywrap which I have used since my bub was a few weeks old, and absolutely LOVE it. Have to say the Ergo is not as comfy as the sleepywrap, but it is great for back wearing.

I got one! I got one! At the baby expo, 20% off! I already love it!! I swear I can't even feel any weight on my shoulders, my back doesn't get sore at all! So glad I got it. The only think is, I'm not very tall, and when we're home I usually put DD2 in and bounce on the fitball a bit to get her to sleep but it's sitting on my legs a bit at the bottom when I sit down. Am I going to bend/squash the hard waist strap bit and wreck it ?? Anyone had the same issue?

I loved the idea of my ergo but DD hated it we ended up with something else and have 3 different ones here that we can try on the new one when it comes x

You might need to slide the back straps up a little so they are not so far down. That way they will be easier to grab and clip together.

Have responded to requests for PMs, sorry for delay!

With regards to those whose bubs didn't like the insert - was it the one where baby lies sort of diagonally, head near one breast, legs near opposite hip, ITMS?

Or was it the heart to heart, where they are in the traditional Ergo upright position?

Just curious - DD didn't like the old insert, DS loved the new heart to heart one...

Mine was old insert.

SIL had heart to heart and her son was not a huge fan of it, she actually went and bought a close carrier to use until was old enough to use without insert.

I love my Ergo. I have used it with two of my kids - and I hope to use it again!
We bought it when my DS was 4 months - so didn't use an insert. I used the newborn insert with DS2, and had no problems -he was happy in there.

Thanks everyone!! Definitely getting one. I think they're 20% off at the expo. At least they are in perth anyway, hope it's the same here.

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.

That would be awesome! Thanks!

I don't like my Ergo at all. I find it hard to get on and not as comfy but then I am rather small framed and don't find it a good fit at all. And like someone else said, I find I have to be a contortionist to get it done up.

I wont be using it for this next baby and will be looking at getting something else.

It's funny because I lent my ergo to a very tall and slightly large friend who couldn't use it at all. Her baby looked like he was being completely squashed when she tried, the poor thing.

I'm only 5'4 and rather slim, but I found it a perfect fit with my first son, but i never used it with him as a newborn and now I just can't get it working with my 2 week old.
