Adventures in Babywearing: The Ergo Sport

The Ergo Sport was my first baby carrier. I found a great deal on Craigslist very early in my pregnancy.  I knew I wanted to practice attachment parenting and that I would be wearing my sweet baby as much as possible. At the time, I must admit that I hadn't done a lot of research and did not know that you could not do a facing front carry with the Ergo. What I DID know what that Ergo sport had great reviews, and was lightweight...great for the Houston heat.  In retrospect, I am glad that I did not know you could not do a face forward carry with it because I might have skipped the purchase and I so LOVE this carrier.  It is one I use daily. Elijah and I take a walk every morning and it is perfect.  It keeps us cool in the Houston summer heat. It is also a very soft material and it is a carrier my husband enjoys using.  I have found that I have my preferences of carrier for different activities and as a result, my collection is now 8 carriers and I am on my way to purchasing a ninth. LOVE LOVE LOVE my ergo!

Super easy to put on and very secure with the straps in the back

I put Elijah in the Ergo when he was a week old with the infant insert. I must say that I found the insert to be a bit too hot for Houston in the Spring, although he seemed quite cozy and comfortable. We only used the insert a few times. I found other carriers much more user friendly for newborns. Elijah was able to fit into the Ergo sans the insert at about a month old.
