The ERGO is the way to go when it comes to baby carriers. It's the best all around choice for carrying a baby anywhere from around the house to public places. The ERGO baby carrier is conveniently compact, comfortable to wear and provides sturdy support for your baby. The ergonomic design of the carrier ensures that your baby is in the correct sitting position to encourage proper hip, pelvis and spine growth. It does this by distributing most of the baby's weight between its hips and thighs. The design also considers the health and comfort of parents. The carrier balances the baby's weight to the parents' hips and shoulders, reducing physical stress. The padded waist belt supports the lumbar area plus 1" thick padding in the shoulder straps. It can be worn on front, back or hip and can easily be changed from one to the other. Ergo is perfect for when baby is too heavy for a sling or for when you plan on carrying your baby for extended periods of time, especially for hiking and walking. Unlike other frame back packs, with the ERGO the baby is right against your back so their weight seems less. When carrying a traditional hard frame back pack, your baby's center of gravity is further from your body and can be awkward and feel heavier. For comfortably carrying your infant, try the ERGO Infant Insert (sold separately). It supports your newborn like a baby sling while having both hands free to work. Features: Recommended use from newborn (with additional Infant Insert sold separately) up to 40 lbs Adjusts for most sizes, waist circumference extends from 25" up to 43" Attached Sleeping Hood supports sleeping baby's head and expands with the growth of your child Convenient pocket on back of carrier with side zipper for easy access. 100% organic cotton twill that is incredibly soft.

I started using the Baby Bjorn but it killed my shoulders after about an hour of wearing. Then I tried the Snugli which amounted to about the same thing and I hated that it had to be slipped over my head for wearing. Then there was the Infantino Front 2 Back which I didn't successfully use. It had so many straps and adjustments. ... I didn't fully try that out because in the meantime, I came upon the Porte Bebe, tried it out in the store and loved it immediately.
There is no strain on my shoulders and my then 5 month old seemed so comfortable in it. Now she's about 19 pounds and I can still carry her for hours with both hands free either on my back or on my chest. She's comfortable and will sleep either way. The carrier isn't very flattering when worn with baby on the back because the bottom strap digs into my not-so-large-yet-not-so-firm-belly and creates an unsightly bulge but it's comfortable nonetheless. Baby's weight rests mostly on the hips and it's so natural that I don't even notice it. The privacy hood is very useful for supporting baby's head when asleep and creates a more restful environment while still allowing her to peek out if awake. The pouch is easily accessible when carrying in the front and is quite roomy. It's about an 8 inch square.
I have the black, all cotton version. The fabric breathes and is very soft though it attracts lint very easily. It seems very well made though the manufacturer doesn't recommend washing it often and drying it all the way through.
Though it's a bit pricey, it's really worth every penny and will save your shoulders and back! I use it every day and I can tell that my baby absolutely loves being in it.

Our son is ten months old and it took a few rides in the carrier to get used to it, but now he gets excited when he sees me pull it out and put it on.
It is great at putting the weight on my hips and not my back...baby weighes in at 21.5 lbs.(which is a fifth of my weight). I wear him on the back or hip and it is wonderful. I am able to stand up straight and I can tell that I have good posture while wearing it. Having two hands to do things is great...but baby would rather be hiking in it than cooking with mommy.
Great product! So happy that I found it! I would highly recommend this to anyone for an older infant...but since I haven't tried it with a newborn, I can't say...YET!
