ERGObaby Carrier – $92
The ERGO carrier was
first recommended to me by another urban-dweller who swore the weight
distribution to the hips and shoulders was much better for women and their
aching backs. Whether science is on the side of the ERGO
or it just was a better carrier for me personally, it made a huge difference
when my daughter grew out of that easy-to-carry stage, yet I still needed to
get about town on foot. This softer and floppier cousin to the Björn is still
useful now that I have a two-year-old as the most efficient way of carrying her
short distances in a hurry, and I’m confident the padding on the shoulder
straps contributes to that comfort. The weight max is 40 lbs on
the ERGO, (higher than most carriers) and
even at this weight, it is still simple to move the kiddo in and out of the
carrier without assistance (although I did have difficulty with the back
position, however, another tester did not).
