ERGO Baby Carrier

I brought the Ergo after my 7 month old got too heavy for the Baby Bjorn carrier we had. I love this as it doesnt have a frame and I didnt want anything too bulky.

You can carry on the front (with ... more

Absolutely fantastic product - essential if you want to be mobile My oldest daughter is now 4 and she still occaisionally gets a ride when she feels tired.
