If you think he is too tall you can take out the pillow thats inside the insert. I really didnt like the insert and I just waited for LO to be older to use it without the insert.

I have this same problem (DS is 10w but 24 3/4"), unfortunately no good advice. We just used it without the insert because it was only going to be for a short time; he seemed to like it since he fell right to sleep.

The easiest way for me to get him in the insert was to lay the insert on the bed (or seat of the car if we were out) and put him on it then pick both of them up. Make sure his butt is on the pillow part and his legs in front of it. I always had to adjust his legs once he was buckled in. They should resemble a frog when all is said and done. The first month or so DS would fight and wiggle for a few minutes but then would calm down and usually fall asleep.

my LO hated the insert. I was never able to get him to sit comfortably in it, without him rubbing his face into my chest screaming... I bought the Baby Bjorn and used that for a while. Now we use the Ergo and he LOVES it which is awesome, because I love it, too

We never had luck with the insert - we used ther Bjorn or moby wrap when she was itty bitty and then around 4 months switched to the Ergo without an insert. Baby H has always been on the tall side, so that was around when her legs seemed long enough to be comfortable in the Ergo. She didn't love the position at first, though! Took a few trips before she was content in the Ergo and now she loves it, as do I! It's the best carrier.
