No tip for the ergo, but I have one for the backpack. Roll everything and put it on end, so when you look into the bag you can see what you need. I had a rolled cloth nappy for spills etc, rolled the spare change of clothes all together, bunny rug etc. Also put things into plastic ziplock bags, so group your nappy and wipes in one etc So you pull out in one motion what you need to change a nappy.
Maybe it wasn't quite adjusted right Diva. Was the waistband sitting on your hips, not your waist?
I find i need the arm straps loose-ish so i take most of the weight on my hips. The strap that joins the two shoulder straps together needs to be at the right height too.
Don't give up yet! Play with the straps a bit and see if you can get it sitting better.
I find it as comfortable as my HAB...... hope you do too soon!
I couldn't get it in the shop when I was trying on an ergo, so I didn't go for it because I love my HAB, but saying that my friend loved the Ergo and doesn't "get" the HAB, so I think most of them are personal... having said that, have a fiddle and hopefully it will work!
Thanks for the backpack tip Astrid ... will wander down to the shops and pick up some ziplock bags. Never thought to roll everything up ... that would make everything a darn sight easier to see ...
Falguni - Thanks for your info too ... we've so far managed to get the chest strap across my back right ... it pulls in the armstraps in enough that the buckles and whatnot don't dig into my armpits anymore.
As for having the waistband across my hips ... do you mean so it's around my bottom and not sitting on top of my hips??? I'll give that a crack once bugalugs is awake ... poor thing is starting to hate the ergo too, with all the pushing/pulling/prodding/in and outing he's doing ... lol!
I will not let this beat me ... after all I refuse to be the only person in Australia that finds this thing grossly uncomfortable ...
Trust me Christy ... I'm thinking about it! ... Brand new organic choc ergo ... worn 15mins only ... selling 'cause I can't get the sodding thing to work ...

: Why do you wanna know??? :oP
I am trying to imagine how the buckles dig into your armpits.......Definately tighten the chest strap. i have the strap high enough that i can clip it myself behind my neck. And it is reaonably tight but not uncomfortable.
When i put the waist band on, it sits on my hips. Kinda where low rise jeans sit. The top of my hip bone almost lines up with the top of the strap..... Have you ever worn a hiking pack? I have the waist band in the same postion as a hiking pack would be.
Am i making any sense?!
BTW- if you did want to sell, i was talking to someone from BB yesterday who's looking at buying one.......
