So we're off to Noosa for a holiday in a week, booked last minute, and realised a carrier would be really handy I'd love an ergo - but with a lack of funds of my own I just can't justify one atm (DH would never let me spend so much of the family funds ) I searched for second hand on ebay but they still are so $$$ and the autions won't end in time for it to arrive. They are selling an ergo like carrier - called Prodigy. Anyone seen/used one? Anyone with an ergo have time to look and let me know your opinion? I want to be able to do a back/hip carry or a front carry if he's tired. Mostly for use when at airport/on train/bus etc and at the beach/walking. Is it just a waste of money - we are taking a stoller? Should I go without and just save up? I'm very conflicted!

Or can an ergo be hired anywhere?

oh...we have a bjorn which was fine for like the first 6 weeks - but its just too unsupportive for me and the baby!
