Is Ergo worth the money?

[fallingmercy]

We are going to be vacationing this summer and we'll be doing a lot of walking so I want a good carrier. I have a snugli, which is good for now as I do short walks. But he'll be growing out of that quickly. I need one that has lots of support and won't hurt my back after a few minutes. He'll be almost a year when we go. My dh is cringing at the price but with the high weight limit I can use it for awhile. (plus they're cheaper on ebay!)

I think so.

myfavoritebabycarrier.com offers a 90 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. If you take it on vacation, use it and don't think it's worth keeping, you could get a full refund. :heart

:yes Definitely. :tu

For me it has been worth the money. I got mine used for $80. So they also have very good resale value and many sights have a money back guarantee so if you don't LOVE it you could always sell it.

YES YES YES! I make wraps and slings, and I still bought one! :O But as dd gets older and heavier, I use the ergo more. I can't sling her for a long time, maybe an hour or so, and these days she wants to get up and down and up and down, so wrapping her is at times a pain. I still try to wrap most of the time, but I am really glad we were able to buy the Ergo.

I agree it is well worth the money. Dd is 30 lbs and I have no problem carrying her in the Ergo on my back for an hour or more. It is very comfortable. And dh is willing to wear it too because it looks like a backpack (he refuses to wear a sling!). I bought the New Generation because I had read there were a few improvements over the classic version.

Definitely! :yes I love my ergo!! Its great for long walks and I can't even feel DS on my back. Love it!

I actually just posted this same question a few weeks back....and then went ahead and ordered my Ergo for my 22 month (33 + lb) DS. I am so glad that I did. It really makes walking/ hiking easier and more comfortable....we probably won't use it as much as we did the sling because he is adamant that he walk most places but it has been great when allowing him to walk isn't an option or for long trips. I would strongly encourage you to get one. I have heard that if you are "shorter" than average that it may not be as comfortable. There is info about this on the www.myfavoritebabycarrier web site.

I am 5'2" and it works great for me! :tu

[LauraK]

I'm 5'2" as well and like it, seems to work for dh too who is 6'1".

[fallingmercy]

We're going to get one. I am glad too because ds4 seems to be high needs and wants to be held constantly so it will be helpful around the house as well. :mrgreen

[ShowersofBlessings]

I love mine and more importantly ( :P~) ds loves it too. He will pick it up asking to ride in it it. :mrgreen

Its amazing. I wondered if it was worth the money for an 18 month old.

I use it DAILY.

Well worth it.

YUP! I just got my Ergo and I don't regret it. I hate to waste money; this was definately worth it! :tu
