We LOVE this carrier. Hands down the best baby item we own. I have horrible back problems – I think this carrier actually HELPS my back in general. Our son is so comfty in this carrier – we used it 2wks after he was born with the insert!

We have an Ergo and a Patapum and we infinitely prefer the Patapum. It’s less bulky and much more comfortable. The carrier goes up higher on the baby’s back so it supports her better. And there is an extra strap which holds the baby closer to the parent’s body. The weight distribution is better so it’s easier on my back. I wear my one year old in a wrap most of the time and between the Ergo and the Patapum, the Patapum mimics the comfort of the wrap much more than the Ergo.

I love my Ergo (so does my 1-year old), and I recommend it all the time. A co-worker of mine actually carried one of our managers around the stroller department at our store in the Ergo we have out for customers to try (at a big baby store). My coworker probably doesn’t weigh more than 130lbs, and our manager is smaller than her, but still over 100lbs. It was hilarious, but they both said it was very comfortable!

Wow – am I the only one to say that it looks a little frumpy to wear? From what I’m hearing though, the comfort aspect outweighs the style. Already have two toddlers, but will consider this one for friends.

I LOVE my Ergo, we got one when our son was 5 months and like ak, my husband and I fight over who gets to wear him. It’s so comfortable and the fact that it works equally well for a skinny 6 foot guy and an overweight 5’2 woman really say something.

My husband and I fight over who gets to wear our daughter in this carrier–it is so comfortable! Do yourself a favor and get one.

A couple of my friends use the Ergo and we plan on buying it to use for the baby we are expecting in a few months. I tried carrying babies in both this and the original Bjorn, and I preferred the Ergo hands down. I have scoliosis and this felt so much better on my back than the Bjorn did.

i can’t even explain how much i LOVE this carrier!! my 10 month old son feels so light in it. my back or shoulders have never hurt. and my son loves the fact that he gets to be so close to me. before i got this carrier i was concerned that my son would much rather look outward(like in the bjorn) but it wasn’t the case at all. he likes being able to see me and he can still turn his head to check out where we are.

this carrier has made shopping a breeze. there are two pockets on it (so no need to buy the additional pouch thing). i just throw my credit card or cash in the zipper pocket and off we go!

i spent more money on this carrier though(because i got the organic one- i really just like the green color!) but it is probably my all time favorite baby purchase. i really don’t know what i would do without it

I have this carrier (the older version) and it is amazing! I love it. My back never hurts like it did with my Bjorn.
