Is The Ergo Baby Carrier really as good as a framed back carrier?
When it comes to comfort while walking or hiking, the answer is – definitely yes! In fact The Ergo is better. Having your child’s weight close to your body makes a big difference – it puts less strain on your back and it feels more secure for both you and your baby when you are in physical contact with him. Also, any framed carrier will weigh much more and, because many of them have lots of storage space, there is the tendency to pack it full, making the load even heavier.
