Baby Bjorn?

[Sucellia]

I used Baby Bjorn for my son. It was fine with me till my son got around 8Kg or so. My back, shoulder and neck started hurting and could not carry him too long because of it. As well, my son found Bjorn is not so comfortable for him so I switched to ERGO. ERGO was fantastic! I never had any pains and my son loved it. As well, my husband used it and loved it so much better than Bjorn.
(My son is 20 months so he graduated from ERGO now.)

I strongly recommend ERGO for you.

I have to say when my 1st baby was below 6 months old, baby bjorn helped me heaps when I travel. but after 6 months, my baby weight was more than what my back could support, i changed to ergo and it saved my back! So i recommend to get an Ergo baby carrier straight rather than wasting money on that 6 months only.

Most people I know using the Ergo brand are using it for older children. Anyone use it since birth? Can anyone using this carrier tell me how essential is the infant insert?

I can't find it anywhere! I even went to B2B in Central several times, but they are completely out of all Ergo stock until end of May and even then, they couldn't tell me whether they will actually have any of the inserts! I'm starting to consider buying a different carrier for a newborn and switching to my Ergo when my son is old enough, but that seems like a big waste of money that I'd rather save to spend on something else more essential.

I used the Ergo from newborn. I think that if you swaddle your baby and put the baby in the same way that you would with the infant insert, it'd be fine. The only thing with the infant insert is that it has a kind of foam border around the edge of it - presumably for head support - but I really think that swaddling would be just as good. I do think that the ergo is better for children about 2-3 months + when you can change them to straddling rather than sitting sideways - but I wouldn't bother buying a new carrier JUST for the first couple of months though!!
