Ergo Baby Carrier
I love my Ergo Baby Carrier!
It was an early Christmas gift from Tim and I’ve had lots of opportunities to use it. I’ve done household chores and gone on excursions. It even makes quick trips easier.
December 16, we went on a day trip for Dad’s birthday. We drove to Cumberland, MD and took the Santa Express to Frostburg, MD. It was kind of a long day but when I utilized the carrier, and didn’t “lug around” 30 lbs. of baby, I was hands-free. While waiting for the train I wore her in front. We rubbed noses, looked at the other passengers, and she had no fear when the train came in. In Frostburg, I wore her in back while we watched the locomotive turn around and then walked up a hill to a restaurant for a quick lunch. Dad went for a walk with her while I finished lunch and was still out before we needed to return. I walked back to the station to check for them there and then others stayed up the hill to wait. Granddad and baby were up the hill and Tim wore her in front to return to the train.
December 22, I made two coffee cakes for Christmas breakfast. She was happier being worn, so I wore her on my back while I worked. She was very happy and took her nap that way. It has a hood that secures her while she sleeps, but can be used in other circumstances (sun, nursing, rain, wind). I also wore her while doing laundry. I tried to vacuum as well, but as I picked it up she freaked out as it passed close to her, so I left it and we went to read.
December 23, we visited the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond with Tim’s mom. I didn’t want her running around so I wore her on my hip while we walked around and took pictures of the display.
December 29, we stopped in Border’s before going to the Altman’s to pick out DVD’s (on special + using gift cards) and I decided to wear her in back while we ran in. It made a quick trip really quick because I didn’t have to hold or corral her while finding our choices.
December 30, some of us took the subway to Union Station in DC to see the display about Norway. I wore Sara Ellen in front and she played peek-a-boo with Dad behind me. On the way back she took a nap, in front again. Before we arrived in New Carrolton, she woke up and needed a drink, so I unhooked the back clip and slid off a shoulder so she could nurse. You are supposed to be able to nurse while strapped in but so far I’ve done the above.
Like today, January 5, we went to Joss Cafe and Sushi Bar for Michael’s Birthday Lunch. I wore her in front as we walked there and for most of the time while I sat at the table. Sara Ellen has been in serious teething modefor the last week and not wanting solids so she’s been nursing 100% and needed her lunch too.
The Ergo is wonderful. I highly recommend it over the Baby Bjorn and the PreMaxx Baby Bag (sling).
