When our first baby was born we were given a hand-me-down Ergo and we nestled our precious newborn in it with the infant insert – and so began our love affair with babywearing.
Ever since then, there has always been an Ergo in our home. Our first baby is now an active two year old and Ergo has carried him (literally) through every stage – it could be easily be the only carrier you ever need. Of course if you are like us, you might want to try all kinds of different carriers – and even several types of Ergo carriers. There are several carriers we love, but Ergo has always been in heavy rotation in our home. Here are the top reasons we always keep our Ergo within arm’s reach:
Now that we have recently added to our family I feel like we have come full circle in our babywearing journey – from newborn, to toddler, to wearing a toddler while pregnant, to newborn again. Even though Ergo is the only carrier you need, we may need two of them. Now that we have both a toddler and newborn who both love to be worn – and two parents who like calm happy kids, it seems like a no-brainer to get a second one!

I have a ton (seriously... they might weigh a tonne) of carriers, but, I always come back to my Ergo. Ergo - saving my sanity since 2008.
So jealous that you had one from the beginning! I didn't find mine (also secondhand) until #2 was 6 mos. Really could have used it with DS. That said, I wore him in a Maya Wrap, NoJo Sling, and (crotch dangler) front pack from 6 days old. But I really wish I knew about Ergo back then (he's 8yo now). I have a nice pink floral one for DD. DH has worn her in it a little, but he probably would have preferred another style, given the choice. Knowing what I do now, I recommend them to every expectant Mama and tell her They Are Worth Double The Price!!
my daughter calls it her baby brothers "Rescue Pack"....toooo cute! i love the way kids come up with the perfect names for things...it really is a rescue pack in my opinion it rescues me from going nuts during times he wants held and i have to do something else at the same time
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. it's absolutely amazing. Freedom!!! :)
