It's still holding up great after all this time. I'm happy I got it. Jimmy: I find the Ergo organic cooler than the original Ergo actually, probably because the original is made of canvas which is thicker. The organic is incredibly soft, even when I first got it. We were all a lot hotter using the original and I imagine any other carrier made of polyester (plastic) or canvas would breathe less and be hotter. Rike: My 2+ year old is still in her Ergo organic.

I have a 8 -month-old boy and am about to buy my first ever baby carrier. The ergo looked fab, but then I found the patapum and thought it looked fab,too and was also cheaper. Reading this now I am not so sure about patapum and will probably go for ergo. It should be worth the investment as I'll use it for quite long (I hope...). It is so nice to read this from someone who has truly used baby carriers for a while and knows the pitfalls! Thanks! Rike Hi! I have a 8 -month-old boy and am about to buy my first ever baby carrier.

As for nursing, it is really easy: loosen shoulder straps, loosen hip strap (if baby tall), shake a little to lower baby to milk source, lift t-shirt, baby snaps on herself, lower t-shirt to encase milk source, snap on hood (if baby sleepy), and continue shopping. :D You're very welcome. :D Hope it helps!

And as for nursing in the carrier - is it really convenient and easy to manage with the Ergo? Thanks again. REally appreciate the advise from someone that's actually 'been there, done that' :) Out of curiousity, do you find the hip-position on the Ergo useful?

Francesca: It isn't hot actually. I do recommend you get the second generation ones with the snap on hoods. A world of difference from the first. :D Interestingly information on its weight isn’t quite available online.

Great service and very fast delivery. The Patapum is slightly lighter than the Ergo but the difference is barely noticeable when it is around your waist. I'm not sure of the exact weight but can help you check it out later when I'm on the computer. :) Ann and Francesca: I got the Ergo from http://www.mummysmilk.com.
