I just purchased an ERGO Baby Carrier from Mothering Touch (in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) and I LOVE IT!

Like many of the testimonials on your website, we've had all sorts of carriers... fortunately we started with the sling, which has been our standby since our son was born; but it was followed by a Kelty Kangaroo (like a Bjorn, but better), but that only lasted a few months before our son was too heavy for it.  We tried a Baby Trekker, but it was too cumbersome.  We bought an expensive framed backpack, but the pack is as heavy as our son, and is way too big and bulky to be practical... also, our son's head flops around too much when he sleeps.

Thank you for such a fabulous product.  I am part of a mom's group in Tacoma, Washington that has about 25 Ergo using families.  Here are a couple of pictures from a recent camping trip with seven Ergo Daddies.

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your wonderful baby carrier.  The first one that we purchased for my daughter was a cheaper brand and it was so uncomfortable that we hardly ever used it.  My daughter wanted to be held all day long and this made for many months of misery when I had to go about my daily tasks for which I needed two hands.  A friend recommended the ERGO to us and we got it when my daughter was nine months old.  I took her to Israel and Turkey where we did a lot of  walking and I never had to bring a stroller with me - she LOVED the ERGO, even though by then she was quite mobile so I was worried that she would always want down (she didn't).  I am now seven months pregnant with my second and have just ordered the infant insert.  I am thrilled to be able to use the ERGO with my son from the first weeks of his life.  Not only will he benefit by being close to his mommy at all  times, but I'm sure it will also be invaluable to me as I care for the house and a two year old alongside him. 

Thank you again for a terrific product that I feel good about buying.
