Original Baby Carrier: Ergobaby Best Seller Review

Original Baby Carrier

Colors: Black / Camel, Black Exterior with Camel Lining/Hood

Price varies from $115- $195 Depending on the style.

When looking for a baby carrier you aren't only looking for a cute style, you are looking for safety, and comfort for you and the baby. This being my third child I knew what I wanted. I had tried the baby Bjorn (hated it). I tried a baby sling (loved it). The problem with the Bjorn was my baby looked uncomfortable and I felt uncomfortable.  The baby sling had a lot of recalls due to deaths in babies (scary as ever).

Baby insert for your Ergo carrier

Don't let the prices scare you away. Think of it as a investment. Baby wearing is something that people have been doing forever, but it seems as though the last 5 years it has started to become more of a trend. I myself am totally in love.

Now when your baby is first born you are going to want to purchase the infant insert. Don't worry it isn't expensive at all. Only $25 for it if you want just regular, $38 if you must have organic. It is well worth it if you want to baby wear right away. Which I did. With the infant insert there are two stages for weight and age. 0-2 months (7lbs) the babies feet are in like a cocoon. Once they are around 3-4 months their feet are out but, their bottoms are sitting in on the little pillow. (This is all depending on how big your baby is). I stopped using the insert with Logan at 2 months because he was getting too big.

Some will continue using the pillow that is in the insert for what they would call a transition from the insert to just the Ergo alone. I didn't because I felt the Ergo itself was very safe and comfortable for him. To each is own. You make the decision off of you and your babies comfort. I am in absolute heaven with this product, and only wish that I had this when I first became a mom.

I look for any excuse to take Logan out of his car seat so that I can wear my ergo. No lie, it is that comfortable and I feel much safer with him right on my chest. It is easy to put on and adjust to your comfort level. A big plus is that your hubby can wear the baby too. It extends around the waist and the shoulders. So it is a win win all around. You can wear your baby in the Ergo up about 45 lbs. They can be on the front, back or even on your hip.

There are some great videos on YouTube demonstrating how to use the Ergo. Check it out if you are looking for a great carrier. You wont be disappointed. Remember Safety is key as well as comfort. I also think that the Ergo look much better than any other baby carrier. Hope this helps...
