I bought this for my 2nd child when he was 4 months old. Until that point I had used a Baby Bjorn.

Initially I had some trouble getting my 4 month old to be happy in the Ergo, as he had been facing outwards in the BB and seemed uncomfortable in the Ergo. Not sure if he was in it correctly, as his face was half covered up by the sides of the carrier.

After we reached the point where he went on my back it was great to use. We loved it for bushwalking, and for the beach.

Our son is now 2 years old and still happy to sit on my back when he is tired when we are out and about.
Comfy for adult, can use it for a long time.
Uncomfortable for my son when he carried on the front.

I braught this carrier when bub was 17mths and its so comfy especially when he's a budda. It supports him so well and it keeps his weight off my shoulders. I definitely love this carrier. Wish I had heard about it when my elderst was born as its a life saver

Love this carrier, its simple and easy to use. My baby usually always sleeps in it very easily. I used to joke that there was some kind of special sedative in the stitching somewhere, as he just fell straight to sleep in it a lot! I brought the newborn insert but found it cumbersome and didn't use it. Wish I hadn't have bothered with it now
sturdy, easy, comfy, great reputation
expensive, instruction book could be a little clearer

I did not not buy this carrier till bub was six months old and I really don't know how I survived without it. It's lightweight, comfortable and easy to wash and i use it for everything from the housework, shopping and exercising with Kanga training. Bub loves it and falls asleep easily in it.
Moulded comfortable straps, the pocket for keys/mobile etc
Was a little expensive but I shopped around and found a sale.

We bought this carrier when my baby was 14 months old. We should have bought it earlier. It's great for carrying her when we go to busy places (market etc) or when she gets tired after a long walk. We will be travelling overseas soon and it will be perfect at the airports. She goes easily to sleep in it which is a real plus too. Easy to adjust so my husband who is much taller than me can carry her too.
Lightweight, baby feels weightless in it
A bit expensive

This has been one of the best purchases for my baby. I was little skeptical before buying. Now nine months on i use it regularly.My son love being close to me and to be able to see me.great for my back and shoulders..Easy to use on own. Very soft material.JUST SUPERB:)
soft, great for back, easy to put on
none

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
