I have an Ellaroo and absolutely love it! I didn't use it for the first couple of months because I didnt feel it was supportive enough on DS back, lots of people do use them early on though. I was possibly doing it wrong, I only tried once and decided to leave it for a bit longer. But now I use it nearly everyday. It's great for short trips to the shops/ if he is refusing to go to sleep at home/ at the shops when he's tired and he wont sleep in the pram.
It takes a heap of weight off my lower back (which I've had long term problems with)when carrying him. I do find that after a while (couple of hours) that my shoulder, that the sling is over, begins to get a little sore and that the sling pulls the shoulder forward slightly, so I have to watch my posture while using it. But aside from that it's brilliant.
