Love it

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

Excellent baby carrier

published

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

So easy to use.

published

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.

Excellent, highly recommended

I purchased this carrier so I could take my baby with me when I took my dog for his hour walk. I have found it very comfortable, lightweight and bubs falls asleep without any fuss. I love the fact that once bubs gets a bit bigger I can wear the carrier on my back without having to purchase another carrier. To date, I can't fault it.
Lightweight, breathable, attached sunshade, good quality, comfortable

I cant find a fault! My baby who finds it hard to sleep falls asleep straight away in back or front position.
Everything - comfort, light-weight material...and the fact that my baby sleeps in it!

Performance

What would happen if you did face your child outwords in the ergo baby original?

1 answer

Karrie H.Ergobaby

Hi Jesse, Thanks for contacting us to find out the correct information on facing baby outwards. Facing baby outwards in the Ergobaby Original is not recommended at all. The Ergobaby Original carriers are only 3 position carriers and they aren't designed to support a baby in an outward facing position. The structure of the carrier simply doesn't allow for it. Facing baby outwards in the Ergobaby Original will put baby's hips in a compromised position. The baby will sit too wide in the seat pushing their legs too far apart which in turn will put undue pressure on their hips. We definitely advise NOT to face baby outwards in the Ergobaby Original.

If you are looking for a carrier in which baby can face outwards, please look at our Ergobaby 360 range. These are the only Ergobaby carriers which will support baby in the correct ergonomic position whilst facing outwards.

I hope this has helped answer your question. Thanks again for contacting us via Product Review.

Hi, we are going to travel overseas and most likely will be carrying our 2.5 up she is 10 kg. We are wondering which ergo carrier will be best for the job. Any recommendation? Thanks in advance

Hi Slina

Thankyou for getting in touch with us and for choosing an Ergobaby Carrier for your overseas travel adventures. What an exciting time for you and your family!

For travelling, and given the weight of your child now, I would suggest our Cool Air Adapt Carrier. This carrier will take up to 20kgs in weight which means you will get maximum use out of the carrier as your 2.5 year old grows. The Cool Air Adapt is made from the same fabric as Nike and Lorna Jane use in their activewear - it's basically designed to keep yourself and bub cool in warmer months whilst you are wearing the carrier. The other thing I love about this carrier for travel is that the type of fabric it is made out of is very comfortable for older babies whether you need it for warmer weather or not. The Adapt is a 3 position carrier meaning you can carry her on front facing toward you, on your hip and on your back. At 2.5 years of age the back carry becomes a popular choice both parents and child - it's fun and comfortable.

I hope that this has helped with your decision. Have fun on your travels!

Performance

Which style has the best back support for the carrier? I'm looking at 360 or performance

Honestly I'm not sure. I only really tried the Performance. When I looked at the fabrics the 360 seemed like it would be quite warm (I bought it in summer in Brisbane). But most stores are happy for you to try it on and put your baby in it (however that's not an option if the baby hasn't been born yet). The 360 let's you put the baby on the front and facing outwards and you can't do that with the Performance. The Performance you can wear on your back, hip, or front (all of which, the baby needs to be facing into your body and not outwards).

Overall the 360 is thicker in padding on shoulder hence feels more supportive than performance. Performance has higher weight carrying capacities of 20kg though.

The ergobaby 360 carrier has a wrap around waist band which many people find offers superior support. This carrier offers the baby a facing outwards carry position.
The ergobaby performance carrier has dense foam shoulders which are curved more like a hiking pack, which some people prefer. This carrier has mesh lining.
Both are really comfortable. Both are designed to have the load of the baby carried on the hips and not on your back or shoulders. Both are great carriers!
