I have lower back pain from a couple of herniated disks, so ergonomics are very important to me. I got this for my 2-month old baby (bought the insert of course) as he woild not go to sleep on his own. He was very fussy -- hated his car seat, his swing & everything except nursing. When I put him in the ergo, he fussed for awhile, but only cuz he was being lulled to sleep & sleep he did! This left my arms free & he slept as lon as I kept moving. He is getting less fussy as time goes on (he's 4 months now) but I am quite sure once winter is over, we will be using the ergo baby more than the sling or stroller. We definitely used it more than the stroller..... & I use it in the grocery store. To have the clerks tell me he is the quiestest baby is amusing, considering how fussy he was when not in his ergo! Now I just need those teething things for the straps! I read someone else's review of the ergo before I bought it. They said it was the one carrier they could not live without & I feel the same way! It is good for baby's spine too & that is important to me. I am a tall, large person (5' 9" & size 14 when not pegnant ;-)) -- the performance fits great. My husband can wear baby too! I love it, it is worth the price & will last a long time. If you need a carrier, this is *the* one to buy.

This bassinet is so light, I don’t hurt my back lugging it around. Not a fan of bags that have a zillion small pockets. I love the large pockets to hold the diapers, wipes, bottle, etc...and not squeezing my fingers into a small pocket to grab the pacifier!
