This month we finally got our hands on the ever popular Ergo Baby Carrier. Our first impressions were - this is a must have!
The focus of the design is to distribute weight to the hips rather than the shoulders. The carrier is lightweight, yet extremely well put together, so you feel very secure once it's on.
We've found that whilst the infant insert is meant for newborns, that you might want to use it a little longer as many babies just wouldn't have alot of head support before 5 or 6 months. The carrier is very comfortable for babies, but with the constant movement of you walking, a very young baby may appreciate the additional support.
I have to say that I have tried many carriers and I find that after walking around for a little while, your shoulders really do get sore, whereas the Ergo Baby's design seems to help in that area. I'm not surprised that everyone seems to have one. The added benefit of being able to put baby on your back makes life alot easier, especially when you're running around with bigger children and trying to get on top of the washing!
After trying the Ergo Baby, there's no way I'd go back to other carriers, this definitely has to be my favourite so far.
