The Ergo Baby Carrier is highly regarded by parents, many of whom give it perfect ratings. As the name suggests, the Ergo Baby Carrier's standout feature is its exceptional ergonomics. Reviewers like the foam-padded straps at the shoulder and waist; they also praise its adjustability (it fits adults from 5 feet 6 feet 5 inches in height). Parents are also enthusiastic about its versatility: Babies can be carried up front, on one hip or piggyback style. However, a significant drawback is that your baby can't face forward when riding in the front. The other drawback is the Ergo Baby Carrier's price.
The book "Baby Bargains" is a reliable source when it comes to baby gear. The Ergo Baby Carrier gets good coverage from authors Denise and Alan Fields, who base their ratings on extensive research and parent feedback. Cookie magazine includes the Ergo Baby Carrier in its review of the top five baby carriers, which uses parents as testers for each model. Parents.com covers the Ergo in its roundup, where Alisa Stoudt includes a useful amount of information. User reviews are good for those who want to get a sense of how owners feel the Ergo Baby Carrier performs under real-world conditions.
