I agree that it's a worthwhile investment since it'll save my back/shoulders. I ended up buying the Galaxy Grey yesterday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328750 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 20:07:57 +0000 glimmersnaps 328750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say yes! </p> <p>I use the Ergo now with my 1.5 year old who weighs about 25 lbs. I have a lot of back problems and I can wear him for about two hours. The weight limits go up to like 45 lbs. or something crazy. </p> <p>You can try looking for a used one or wait for a sale. Ergo does not allow their carriers to be discounted by retailers and they have just a few sales promotions a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328741 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:53:07 +0000 Honeybee 328741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't buy our ergo until DD was a year old! It was totally worth it, especially now that we have #2 and we use it with him! DD does still fit into it, too, even now at almost 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328728 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:45:48 +0000 erwoo 328728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ergo has a weight limit of 45 lbs so you have a long ways to go. I would get one. I didn't have one for my first and someone gifted me one for my second and I LOVE IT! Absolutely love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328685 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:20:23 +0000 chopsuey 328685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's worth it. You can totally get a lot of use out of it. Plus you can use it for your other kids or sell it later too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328684 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:20:06 +0000 rachiecakes 328684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS hated the Ergo until he was older, now he loves it! We use it when we go to baseball games, longer shopping trips (like a grocery run), etc. You can also use it as a back carrier for a bigger kid.<br /> If you can wait until Black Friday, last year they had a deal where I got mine with the infant insert for $120. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328683 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:17:10 +0000 Running Elley 328683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: I'd go for it! My cousin still uses it sometimes with her almost 2 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328668 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:03:28 +0000 prettylizy 328668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is going to make your life easier, then go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328666 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 19:02:17 +0000 lemondrop 328666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know nothing about Ergo's and weight limits, but you could always check second hand stores- the carriers I have seen have always been pretty cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/worth-buying-an-ergo-now#post-328627 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:48:15 +0000 pinkcupcake 328627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L absolutely hates, hates, hates being in her stroller. If more than 10 minutes goes by, she will scream bloody murder. Today I tried taking her on a walk around the neighborhood in the stroller - OMG. She screamed so much that I ended up carrying her and pushing the (empty) stroller for 2 miles. I was not pleased.</p> <p>Anyways. I usually wear her when we are out using a mei tai wrap. It's easy to use and very convenient but after about 30 minutes or so, my back starts to hurt. It's definitely not gonna work for a long walk. We also have the Mamas and Papas Morph carrier, but it's so bulky and annoying to use. </p> <p>I tried my friend's Ergo this week and it's so comfortable! I'm kicking myself for not buying one earlier :( Do you think it's worth it for me to buy one now? L is 7 months old. I figure I'll continue to wear her for a long time, especially if she hates the stroller so much? (She does get cranky sometimes if I wear for her too long, but she definitely prefers being worn to being in a stroller) I really want to be able to go out on long walks so I can finally get this baby weight off!! </p>
