Ergo vs Ergo Sport - which one?

[Arimeh]

Ok - having used both, this is my opinion of them.

Difference - thinner material which breathes with the sport, which makes it better in summer. I always broke out in a sweat with the other one up here cos it was just so stinking hot. Sport has longer straps which is good for tall men to wear (DH can't wear the other standard one). The sleeping hood on the sport is a PITA to attach to the straps on your shoulders because they have clips, the standard one has little snaps, so much easier to do by yourself. Because the sport is thinner material, I have found it harder to get on by myself and do up, because the material isn't as bulky so it twists and can be a PITA to do it if your baby is sleeping already and you are putting them on to keep them asleep. I have to get DH to help me. The standard one is sooo much easier to slip on. Sport is usually $2 cheaper. Sport comes with a little carry bag thing to keep it wrapped up between use - other one doesn't.

Um. I think thats the main things. I'll come back if I think of more.

Oooh thanks Mel, great to have someone who has used both!

DH is quite tall - over 6 foot, so the longer straps would be useful. Along with the breathable material, but it sound tricky with a NB, which is what we will use next time. I think I will have to drop in and try on both.

Any more feedback/info would be fabulous

We have the sport because DH is so tall - the only thing I hate about it is trying to twist myself up like a contortionist to clip the sleeping hood on ....OMG...it is a mission!!!

Other than that it's easy as to use - I've never tried to put DS in while he is asleep but have no probs getting him out while he's asleep.

The other day I wore him for almost 4 hours....took the dog for a walk, got some groceries and did washing etc...really comfy

I have the standard ergo. I ummed and ahhed about it for a while but in the end, I was sold on the colour option of the standard haha yes, very shallow of me... so far, so good though!!
