Ergo vs Ergo Sport - which one?

[*Beema*]

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)

Hollo - yup you can use accessories in both types - and they are avaiable in baby shops (thats where I got my original one from!)

There should have been a sticker or a piece of paper in your Ergo box about it being slightly different - about the D rings changing etc - because when I got my original one, thats what it came with. If not, google for instructional dvd's if you are not sure how it works now.

Or if you are coming to the meet up tomorrow I can show you

nope not coming tomorrow, we are in full on mothers group kids birthday season. every weekend in august is booked with parties! LOL

nope, i didnt see the piece of paper either... i just tuck the hood into that pocket but it looks a bit messy. its pretty easy to use (well i think i am using it properly LOL)

[Arimeh]

Yeah the hood does store in the pocket part, I used to just roll mine up. I *think* from memory, what changed is that they used to be rings there on the shoulders, and then they went to snaps - or something like that - can't remember cos I never had an original one. Believe me, snaps are much better - the rings on the ergo sport are a tad annoying!!
