Bought the ergo performance when the baby bjorn carrier was causing me back and shoulder pain and haven't looked back. Fantastic for my first big chubba bubba and totally invaluable running after my now very active toddler with number 2 bub on board. So glad I had it from earlier this time and used it with the infant insert. My second baby had major health problems and this carrier has been the only way to settle him and save our backs at times! The pouch attachment is fantastic too, holds a change of nappy, wallet, phone... essentials are then carried hands free.
Everything! Durable, quick drying, sensible design loads through your hips rather than shoulders
Designs and colours aren't as funky as some of the original and organic

Love my ergo performance. I much prefer to use it on my back as my toddler is now 13kg so its more comfortable to back carry ..i love still being able to carry him close while being able to tend to my daughter as well. Its great quality and fantastic for quick trips !
Great quality, easy to use
Can hurt my neck and shoulders after a while

After loving the Baby Bjorn carrier, I was so disappointed when my little one grew out of it. I was dubious about paying $200 for another baby carrier but have never regretted my decision. Have recommended to loads of my friends when they were jealous of the ease in which I was carrying my little one around while they were struggling with bags and strollers and babies etc.
Baby loves the security of snuggling up to parent, sturdy design and fabric, washable, easy to apply, have not used with newborn but means you dont have to purchase two carriers for when baby outgrows the other, many different carrying positions (front, hip, back)
Expensive

I bought my Ergo performance when my son was about 6 months old and used it tonnes up to and over him being 12 months old. Once he started walking we havent used it so much but as we are going overseas soon we will be using it again... he will be 20 months and a back carry will be perfect. My boy would happily fall asleep in the ergo each an every time he was in it. Just perfect.
so comfortable and babies love to fall asleep in it

I have used this carrier for about 3 month now and love it, I had a baby bjorn with my first baby and found it left my shoulders really sore. The ergo baby is easy to put on, although this side position is a little tricky, my baby is happy in it, it washes easliy and it is really comfortable, my 7 month old is still in his once a day. I did use the hug a bub while he was a newborn, which I found really good until he started moving around more, I would probably use the hug a bub for a newborn again and then the ergo baby.
Very easy to wear, comfortable, suits mum and dad, washes easily
A storage bag would be nice, a little expensive - wait for a sale

I've heard a lot about this carrier before purchasing it and it has lived up to my expectations. It's light and breathable too. As it's my 1st baby carrier, I can't really fairly compare it to anything else. However, I do think it's high in quality.
1)breathable 2)light 3)doesn't strain my back 4)with heart to heart insert, my baby was able to go in it at a young age
1)the zipper for the hood pocket broke off really easily 2)the hood is a little small 3)the baby heart to heart insert isn't the easiest to use and sometimes the baby's legs get in a funny position

When baby was one week old we got an Ergobaby Performance and he pretty much lived in it for 3 months straight. Besides the car, it was the only guaranteed way to stop him screaming. Worth its weight in gold! I am average height and my husband is tall and big and it fits us both fine. We were wearing it in heatwaves in summer and it wasn't too hot.
Comfortable, easy to put on, stylish, suits both sexes, easy to wash
The instruction booklet could be a little bit clearer for the side hold, and include instructions on how to feed while wearing it.

This is the most comfortable baby carrier ever. I put my 8 month old in it on the front, but have seen friends also wearing it on the back with children up to 4yo.
Very easily adjusts so that myself or my husband can wear it. Great for ducking into the shops, or long weekend walks.
My favourite part about it - can discreetly feed, then tighten the straps to lift baby for a nice close cuddle.
Comfortable, adjustable, versatile

We got this for going interstate for use at the airport and it was great, we didn't you a pram the the whole time we were away. I'm only a small frame person and it was comfortable to wear, your hips take a lot of the weight. I have only used it as a front carrier so far and my baby is 7 months and she will fall asleep in this but not in her pram. I tend take a layer off if she's in it as she can get warm. I got the grey which is a nice colour and the fabric is a lot nicer than the canvas style. It's great for running into the shops because it's quicker than getting the pram out and you have full use of both hands plus it has a zip pocket to put your money in.
Comfortable, secure and baby loves it
It is quite expensive but worth it

I have been using my Ergo Performance since my bub was 7 months old, he is now 19 months and I still use it daily. It distributes the weight very evenly, because it has a hip belt to carry some of the weight it doesn't hurt my shoulders at all. Can't recommend this highly enough. I really couldn't live without this.
comfortable, easy to use for back carrying

This carrier is lightweight, easy to use and comfortable. It has some features like the sunshade hood which has it's own pocket. A small pocket on the front great for phone, keys and bankcard. It can be worn on the front, back or hip (tho I haven't tried the hip).

The only faults are the part you wear around your waist is quite long and gets in the way if you sit or bend.
Also the material around the baby's head makes it hard for younger babies to look around and the large shoulder straps rub on their face.
Lightweight, easy to use, comfortable for your back.
Doesn't seem as comfortable for younger babies as some other carriers.
