Ergo Baby Carrier Review Summary

Commanding superior ratings, the Ergo Baby carrier clearly wins the best baby carrier award from baby wearing moms. Desinged to hold babies up to 26 pounds, moms can “comfortably wear your baby on your back, hip and chest” with the Ergo Carrier. With a “minimal learning curve,” the Ergo is one of the “easiest to put on” as well as “so comfortable you almost forget you are carrying a child.” What’s the difference between the Ergo and the Baby Bjorn? Baby’s “weight is distributed throughout their body,” taking the pressure the hip/groin area. Although the Ergo Baby Carrier can be a bit pricey, take it from our reviewers that the Ergo “has been well worth the money I spent and then some."

This is by far the best carrier out there!

As a mom of 7 boys (with another on the way), I've tried quite a few carriers, and none have been comfortable to wear for very long, and never seemed super comfortable for baby either. I bought this after the birth of my 7th, who was very fussy and always wanted to be carried. … read full review »

I purchased the Ergo when my son was about 8 months old - and certainly wish I had bought it a full 5 months earlier! While I loved my pouches and other carriers, we found we needed a back carrier that was secure and could hold our son comfortably for 1-2+ hours at a time. The Ergo is… read full review »

Unbelieveable comfort! I couldn't live without it.

I bought this when my daughter was 4 months old and I would say it is the single best baby purchase I have made. We took our daughter on a 9000 mile roadtrip when she was 4-6 months old and the Ergo made the trip so much easier. We took her everywhere in it. She was so comfortable and enjoyed being close to us. It was so comfortable that my husband and I literally would fight over who got to carry her in it. We both love using the Ergo!! — When all of my Baby Bjorn-wearing friends' babies got to be about 4 months they were too heavy to babywear any longer, and they all complained… read full review »

Best baby carrier on the market!

Without a doubt this really is the best baby carrier on the market. As a mom of 3 boys and one more on the way, I have tried about everything out there, nothing beats the Ergo! I can still carry my 4 year old on my back comfortably! — — Built like your favorite backpack, this thing has clips in all the right places to take the strain off of your back. Suitable for newborns to toddlers! — — My favorite position is the hip position. It is super easy to get my squirmy 15 month old into and out of. Plus it is so much more… read full review »

Support for mom and baby

I am a baby wearing enthusiast that owns or has owned most of the carriers on the market. The Ergo is a very well made, durable soft carrier that provides excellent support for both mom and baby. I found it very easy to use from the start. I did no end up keeping the Ergo for very long because I felt it was too bulky. I am a petite person and the Ergo overwhelmed my frame. I found that the Becco provided the same amount of comfort but is much more streamlined and was a better fit overall for me. Although Ergo carriers are very well made I found them unattractive while Becco provides stunning… read full review »

I have been wearing my daughter since she was born. First in a sling and then moved on to the Bjorn. — Once she hit 15lbs.my shoulders and back screamed in protest. I have to travel often and I tried out all kinds of other carriers. The backpack ones, like the Kelty, distributed her weight well but were bulky and awkward. The slings and front carriers started to strain my back after only 20 min and EVERYTHING was a hassle to take off and put back on trying to get through the airport security checkpoint. Traveling by myself with an infant was a… read full review »

The best, most versatile carrier

I started out with the Baby Bjorn with my first child. That really got me addicted to baby wearing -- not as much as some, but I really enjoyed the ease of which I could continue my "pre-kid" life with a kid... just "strapped on" ! With our second, the Ergo Baby Carrier was a must -- I wanted something more versatile that wouldn't kill my back and was safe for our baby. — — The Ergo is great for babies because their weight is distributed throughout their body, not just resting on their crotch area. It is more "ergonomically friendly" for the baby... AND the… read full review »

Bought this carrier 6 months ago for my daughter and been carrying her ever since. Its comfy for the baby though the leg space could be bigger for chunkier babies. I love the neck support which was very good when my baby was a newborn her head grew above it when she was 3 months. — — The comfort for the mom could be better, it has a back support strap but only for the upper back and the lowest part of the back. I would personally have liked to have a strap in the middle back aswell, that would make the support excellent and i would have given this 5 stars. As it is now it does… read full review »

I bought the Ergo with the infant insert when our baby was two months old. I had tried the Bjorn, but it hurt my back. I had a sling, which was nice but not great to go for walks with because my neck would get tired, I had a moby, which was really hot in the summer. The Ergo is GREAT! You can use the front carry with infant insert when they're little and walk a long time in comfort. When they're older you can use the hip carry and they just love watching all that you're doing. We vacuum using the hip carry. I have not yet used it on my back as she really likes to see where she's going and she… read full review »

We had another carrier that made my back ache just wearing my 2 month old on short trips. We had a trip to Disney planned and I splurged on this carrier, best thing I ever did. My back felt great wearing my son in this carrier, and he is the happiest when he is snuggled next to me. I love that it is able to be used in the front, back or side. It is wasy to get on/off and I need no assistance fastening it. — My friends beg to borrrow my ERGO and I wear it everyday still and my son is 10 months. My husband also wears my small 3 year old on his back comfortably. — I highly recommend… read full review »

NOV

I bought the Ergo baby carrier when my son was 8 months old. From day one I was in love. No long straps to fuss with (or dip into puddles!) it was quick to put on and take off, and has a minimal learning curve. I used it nearly daily until my son was 14 months old. Now my husband has taken over daily use of the Ergo with our 20 month old son, so I can take care of our new little one (who we will be buying another Ergo for!) — — I cannot recommend this product enough. I don't like to spend a lot of money on things, but this item has been WELL worth the money I spent and then some. —… read full review »

This is the best carrier ever! I have a super clingy 19 month old who has needed to be held almost constantly since he was born. The Ergo has given me my sanity back! I can cook dinner, watch my son's sports games, vacuum, all the things I thought I would never be able to again until my son was in Kindergarten! (joking of course!) This carrier lets you comfortably wear your baby on your back, hip, and chest, so the versatility is wonderful. It is by far the most gentle carrier for my back, and my son is almost 30… read full review »

I really love my ergo....we used it until my daughter turned 2....she is really tall and we found that for a child so tall, the back needed to be higher...though we have the older model. I think that the new generation is slightly higher. We used ours everyday....from hiking to around the house. I have to say that after two years the stitching is loose and falling apart a bit. That said, I would still buy another....I think that around 5 of your friends tried ours and ended up purchasing one for… read full review »

I LOVE this carrier! I found out about it from a distant relative at a family gathering when I was still pregnant. We've been using it daily since about 2months. My son is now 9 months old and still loves it. When we're out and about I always wear him in the front. He always falls asleep with his head on my chest in the grocery store! This is the one baby product that may seem optional but is really a… read full review »

Great carrier! This carrier works well for both my husband and myself. I prefer the front carry postion, my husband prefers the back. As a well endowed woman, this carrier works much better than the other smaller carriers because this one covers my whole front side and doesn't leave me feeling so exposed.
