Ergo owners
I'm about to order a new Ergo. Do I really need to buy the infant insert for my 2 month old?

Re: Ergo owners
I did. He wasn't quite big enough to spread his legs. There is a way you can frog them in there, but I was too afraid he'd wiggle out.

Re: Ergo owners
I used a blanket to sit him up taller. I folded it about eight times to make it a wide base. I have the infant insert too. I would try with a blanket first.

Re: Ergo owners
If you have another carrier that works well for infants- a wrap or ring sling- I wouldn't. I think I started using the Ergo, no insert, at about 4 months. So it's really not worth it for the time you'll be using it.

Re: Ergo owners
I wouldn't buy it for the short time you would need it. I was able to use the Ergo without insert at about 3 months with DS with alternate positioning.

Re: Ergo owners
I never used it and started wearing G at about 3 weeks. Even people who love them rarely use them for longer than 3 months, so I'd say at this point you can definitely make do without it.

Re: Ergo owners
I used the Ergo with a 2 month old without the infant insert.
