I have an infant front carrier (Baby Bjorn, Tomy), how is the Ergo better?
Well, I do like the infant front carriers and I have used a Baby Bjorn myself with both of my children. Using the Baby Bjorn was my first babywearing experience and I loved it. The problem was that I didn’t know of another carrier to use as my baby got bigger… so I continued to carry her in the Baby Bjorn until she was WAY too heavy… and it was really digging into my shoulders and hurting my back. I tried on a friend’s Ergo and wanted one (the pricetag put me off) but used a framed backpack for a year instead. When I finally bought one, I loved it… With my second child, I used the Baby Bjorn (because I already owned it) from birth until 3 1/2 months, when she was able to spread her legs around my waist. From that moment until today, she has been in the Ergo carrier. So, this time, I have enjoyed babywearing with no sore shoulders, back pain, or problems with my baby outgrowing the carrier. Two benefits that the Ergo definitely have over the infant carrier is how long you can use
