Trying to decide between the Ergo sport, original, 360, performance, sport and organic. Which one do you have? Did you consider any of the other models? Any recommendations? Just for reference, I live in a fairly warm/hot, dry region.

I have an Ergo Organic, only because It was the first one available on the classifieds when I needed it.

We have the organic because it was on Zulily one day lol. REI sometimes sells them for cheap, too! I'd probably buy a 360 now, though. E would've loved that

I got an original, only because it was the cheapest one on NoBetterDeal at the time I bought it. We live in SoCal, so it's very hot during the summer, but luckily not humid. It sucks babywearing that time of year.

@HabesBabe: I am in the central valley so I am really thinking about the performance. It's not pretty, but it seems so light.

@simplyfelicity: I have the performance and live in FL. It's warm but not terrible. They all are somewhat hot when you have another body heat up against you. But the carrier itself it's really hot.

We have a sport. Love it! I wore E while we were at the zoo in San Antonio in June.

@T.H.O.U.: That's really good to know. We get 110 temps here. Of course I won't be taking him out when it's that hot, but having a carrier that doesn't significantly contribute to the heat seems worthwhile.
Eta: do you like the performance overall?

Sport. i liked it. Especially in summer as it wasn't as thick as my beco

I have the orginal and the sport. I like them pretty much both the same. The only thing I didn't like with the Sport was that the bottomm band was bigger so it pressed on my c-section incision.

We have one that has apparently been retired. It's the travel one which is basically a lighter weight version. We like it because it is more breathable than the original (our LO used to sweat alot) and lighter so it's easy to pack and take along. Seems like the performance one might be similar, although ours doesn't have mesh on it.

I live in hot, humid Georgia and opted for the Ergo Performance (the mesh one) for that very reason. I think it was the best choice for us - I wore her out in the hot sun in August and it wasn't THAT unpleasant
She went through a stage around 4-5 months where she didn't want to be worn facing inward, so I might consider the 360 as well, but now that she sits a little higher in the carrier she doesn't mind it as much.

We have the organic because i read it was softer. It is nice and soft but I'd probably get 360 now.

@simplyfelicity: yes overall I really like it. It seems a bit stiffer than the original or organic.

@simplyfelicity: I have the 360 and me and my LO love it. it's the only ergo that faces out; for my curious and active LO, facing out is his favorite position!
I also live in a warm, dry area but my LO is only 9 months so I haven't worn him in the heat yet. I can't imagine any carrier being all that comfortable...

I have the organic. It wasn't much more than the original and read about it being softer. There were only a few options when I bought mine 4 years ago. My Ergo is still getting use, and I love it.

We got the 360. I have a lot of back issues so we figured a carrier with as many positioning options as possible was our best bet. I'm not due for another 12 weeks, so we'll see how we all like it...

@blackbird: That's why we have the organic one too! It was my first baby purchase (at 23 weeks I think). It was such a great deal!
