ergo's
I have read all the good things, but is there anything that you don't like about them?
I have a close carrier for DS, but am thinking of getting myself an ergo for Xmas.. For DD to start with, then DS eventually. I am trying to save on taking the double pram everywhere :)..

Ummm the only thing I don't like about my Ergo is that its the new sports one and the material is very thin compared to the old style and it sorta wraps around itself when I put it on, and gives me the irrits. The older style had stiffer straps and didn't do that.
But that is the ONLY thing i can think of.

The only thing that bothered me (I only borrowed one for a few weeks) was it's hard to get used to doing the shoulder clip up, but once you get it I had no issues at all.

I LOVE my ergo sport. So comfy. The only thing I don't like about it is that ATM the strap lines up with DD's mouth and she is forever sucking on it. I'm sure it's not that bad for her, except I worry that the friction as I walk might rub on her face and make her mouth or cheek sore. That said, I haven't seen any evidence of this yet.
I do love... that it's big enough for DH (and he thinks it's cooler than the Bjorn so he's happy to wear it); that unlike many other carriers, the weight is carried on the hips so my back is sooo much happier; that I can wear DD on my back and hip; shoulder-straps are super comfy; the sleeping hood persuades her that there's not really that much to stare at and to go to sleep!

I LOVE my ergo, I have the old style, but still struggle with the back carry, but I have no practice... Got pregnant before I could perfect it. And bump is well down in my pelvis, and I cant handle the strap around it... My other gripe is that I dont have the denim one... :lol: :lol: Otherwise it is perfect.
I have a close for the newborn, and think these two carriers are the perfect combination.
DO IT!!!!

Spoke to DH...
He is ok with it as long as I try one 1st with DD in it.. So off to the shop with DD in the next few days to give one a go..

santosha.. you can buy the ergo sucking pads that fit over the straps for bubs to suck on. i also bought the little bum bag type thing that velcros onto the waist strap, it is great! dont have to take a nappy bag cause i put a nappy and small wipes in the zipper bit on front and then the bum bag thingy for wallet keys etc.
the only thing i dont like is that it can get a bit hot.
