It is a soft' carrier - without a frame - that disperses the weight of the baby evenly between the parent's hips and shoulders (like a framed backpack carrier but without the bulk).
Unlike a framed backpack carrier, which sits the baby away from the parent's body and throws the parent's equilibrium off, The Ergo hugs the baby close to the parent's torso and makes it easier for a parent or carer to manoeuvre.
Wear 3 ways - Front, hip or back carry
In The ERGO, the baby sits in a pouch created by the body of the carrier; in many other carriers the baby hangs by the crotch. This distinction between 'sitting' and 'hanging' is significant because when the baby is in a seated position the weight of the head is dispersed between the spine, hips and thighs, causing less compression of the spine than if the baby were hanging in a carrier.
The ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for baby's physical development and eliminates compression on baby's spine.
The ERGO's wide shoulder straps and waist belt distribute baby's weight evenly, alleviating physical strain for parents. Baby's weight is drawn in towards parent's centre of gravity, making the baby feel lighter.
A specially padded and shaped cushion that fits into the baby carrier worn on the front. Recommended use from newborn to 4 - 5 months depending on the growth of your baby.
ERGO offers continued support when a baby sling or front carrier is no longer comfortable. It is lighter and more secure than a hard-frame baby back-pack.
The ERGO Baby Carriers come with a detailed instructional booklet including illustrations and the instructional DVD chapters are available online.

We use ours everyday. It is the best for shopping with 2 little ones, easy to privatly breast feed (which some how needs to be done everytime we get groceries), and then she's comfy and naps when she needs.
I have used this for 2 children now, and even when pregnant would have our toddler in the backpack (seemed to balance out things!).
Well worth the investment for ease in daily life. I'd like to get another just to use while one is in the wash!

Love this carrier. It is very comfortable to wear and knowing that it's good for my baby's posture too. He is 3 months old and I got him the heart2heart insert, he absolutely loves it. Kept looking at me and smiled at me. :) Highly recommended to other moms.

We have just spent the last 3 days wondering around Wellington with our 7month old in her Ergo with absolutely no problems and she could still look around too which was great as there was no boredom on her part.
Previous to this we had been for bush walks in Pelorous while she was still in the heart to heart insert and that was great too.
If she falls asleep against us (which often happens) she still has a clear airway and gets a really good sleep.
I love my Ergo and have recommended it to lots of people :-)

After hearing rave reviews from a friend, we purchased the Ergo in preparation for an overseas trip. The Ergo was, and still is, FABULOUS! It was used everyday as we traveled all over the UK and parts of Europe for more than a month with our 9 month old son, visiting all the major attractions, that inevitably had 100s of stairs! One of the most memorable would be visiting St. Paul's Cathedral in London... our bub slept through the entire climb of over 600 steps to reach the top, snug and sound in his Ergo despite a somewhat steep and narrow climb.

I absolutely love ergo baby carrier, my baby used to sleep so well in it (when she was only few months old). We bought the insert as well and we have been using it every where!!!on her stroller, in her bassinette and cot, also on the plane as a cushioning under her. Absolutely fantastic product!!! Even our dog loves it, because when ever I take it out he knows he is getting his daily walks!!!

I have heard great things about the Ergo, I just wish that we had used ours more! I had a sling when our son was small so used that as it was easier to get him in and out, and since then have either carried him on my him or used a pram. He is 10kg now though so I think that as the weather warms up we will be using this more, we did take him for a walk the other day with him on my husband's back in the Ergo and it was really good. We have also gone around the Mount with him in it a couple of time which was great. I just wish there was an easier way to get him in it on my back without someone else to help me. Any tips are welcome! :-)

While I loved to use the Ergo Carrier on my front, I found it extremely difficult to wear my child on my back. Not only could I not get them onto my back, but once they were on there (after my husband's help), I found it really uncomfortable around my stomach where you clip to close it. I'm a size 12 but I felt it dug into my stomach too much. Maybe I was just wearing it wrong.
However I love this as a frontpack and found the sleeping hood so convinent especially when you are outside as it helps protect from wind and sun.
BELLY BEYOND COMMENT: Thanks for your feedback Teresa. I think you may be wearing the ERgo strap a bit high as it shouldn't dig into your tummy as it sits on your hips. Please feel free to contact us for assistance with fitting.

I am pregnant and find the most comfortable way to carry my two year old daughter is in the ergo carrier (on my back). My daughter loves it too. There is less load on my hips than with regular backpacks and I hardly notice her weight. I'm looking forward to staying mobile with number two, using the newborn insert.
