Ergo vs Ergo Sport - which one?

[*Beema*]

Nah sorry girls, no juicy gossip here, can't afford it yet

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!!

Thanks LaDeeDa and Jitterbug, your feedback has been really useful.

andI dropped into BB today and tried them both on, how do you manage to dop up the clip at the back (when front wearing) while holding them in place? or do you do it up then just adjust the side straps?

I am leaning towards the sport as it is going to be warming up and I think that the standard is going to be a bit hot IYKWIM, but it only comes in black....

Pop bubs in and put the shoulder straps on - they are secure enough for you to put yur hands behind your head (like your tying your hair back) and do it up that way - I find because I have to have the straps so short that it's easier to do the clip up and then adjust otherwise I can't reach it IYKWIM

Thanks!! I will give it a shot when I get it, or will try to take DD in with me, I was trying it with a pink teddy bear wasn't quite the same!!

i got the standard one too, i can see how it will get really hot in summer already but i guess if bubs is just in nappy and singlet it should be ok.

just wondering (and kinda hijacking) the ergo on the instruction DVD is different to the one i got. there are some D rings which the hood attaches to when not in use but i dont have the D rings on mine is that just cause it is an updated version or something.

also, can you use the accessories on both kinds of ergo's? (and do normal baby shops sell the accessories, the backpack looks cool and the little bum bag thingy)
