Product Description

Made of durable, lightweight, and breathable fabric, the ERGObaby Performance Carriers are made to accommodate all active mums and dads. The Performance carriers feature a high-performance polyester exterior, ideal for outdoor activities in all climates; a breathable mesh lining, keeping babies and parents cooler and more comfortable; and a cooling panel for extra wicking. The attached sleeping hood stores easily in the zippered pocket. This sleek, streamlined design offers a smooth, supportive fit for parents and babies of all sizes, and can still be used to carry babies from newborn to toddler on the front, the back and hip positions. Of course, ERGObaby's Performance Collection supports the correct ergonomic position for both babies and parents. The ERGObaby carrier's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby's weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch which most other designs require. The ERGO also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent. Thus it provides a comfortable fit for hours without any back pain afterwards. The ERGObaby carrier allows to carry your child from the age of 4 months (7 kg) to 4 years (18 kg). It can also be used for newborns and infants younger than 4 months. Especially for them the ERGObaby Infant Insert was developed. It enables to carry the baby in the natural sitting position from its birth on. Therefore, the ERGObaby carrier is recommended worldwide by paediatricians and midwives.

The carrier: We bought the Performance carrier for our children (now 2 and 4 months old) about a year ago, before the model was available in the UK. As the original, it is an excellent sling that supports babies and toddlers well on the front as well as the back. The straps are padded and of quality similar to that found in good 60+ litre backpacks. Getting the babies in and out is straightforward but does require some degree of flexibility in the shoulders to fasten it behind the neck for front carrying. The hip straps suit both men and women and the shoulder straps are easily adjustable. The carrier is not bulky and will fit under a raincoat. I have carried my 4 month old 6 hours in a day in this sling without any problems and it's ideal for hand-free activites and light outdoor hikes. It's great for airport, train, and ferry travel. The shoulder straps do not preclude the use of a handbag, though the straps of the latter tend to slide down. For long hikes, although the Carrier itself is fine and ergonometric for the user, it doesn't have any storage for water bottles, etc. and you need a separate bag- don't bother with the one sold by ERGO as it isn't waterproof. We chose the Performance over the standard and sports model for several reasons, including that the Performance carrier has a pocket that the head rest can be packed away in as well as a side pocket that fits things 10-15 cm long (it's not deep, though, but passports will fit). For those who care, it doesn't have the 'organic' look of the original, but is still softer than the Sports model.

Limitations: For babies up to 4-6 months, you need the baby insert as the head isn't supported. This adds to the price and the baby gets too hot in the carrier on warm days (e.g. British summer). Furthermore, we found that our baby's head tended to placed into our chest rather than sideways (as it is in the Close sling). This might seem irrelevant, but when you are trying to sooth a baby with your finger or a dummy, it isn't. So, if you are considering using this for a high-need newborn, this carrier may not be ideal. Finally, newborns should be in a horizontal position and this sling does not provide that option. It also does not provide the possibility of an outward facing position. Of the many slings (more than 6) we have tested and used, the Close sling is better for the baby as it provides both of these options(although slightly trickier to get to grips with for the parents) compared to the ERGO carrier for babies up to 6-9 months. From then, however, the Ergo carrier is far the best on the market for house activities and lighter outdoor ones. For longer hikes, proper backpack carriers with storage capacity are better.

I borrowed the original Ergobaby carrier from a friend for a few months (after my baby had gotten a bit too big for the wrap) and when she needed it back, I realised I couldn't live without it. So I bought this one. It's lighter than the original classic model and it's nice that the head rest part can be packed away.

The extra pocket with the opening on the side is very useful and fits passports and boarding passes in it!

My baby daughter is almost 15 months now and she still sits in it. Mainly when she's tired and we're out, I can pop her in there and she'll fall asleep immediately. I travelled with my baby and my 3-year old alone last week. With the baby in the ergobaby and her weight distributed on my hips, it was no problem with her on my tummy while pulling my 3-year old on her trunki around the airport.

Having used Babybjorn for the previous 2 kids I was determined to find something in addition to it to enable me to carry the baby number 3 on my back. I have tried the backpack style carriers with a frame in the past but found them too bulky and heavy. This particular model is very light and breathable, the baby fits in it very snuggly. The weight distribution is superb, straps don't dig into your shoulders and I can carry the baby for good 2 hours while gardening without any ill effects. The flap that covers and supports the head during sleep is a superb invention, it reduces the amount of light disturbance and shields from light rain.
The fabric isn't waterproof but it washes well and the outer shell can be effectively cleaned with a wet wipe if needed reducing the need to wash after every time baby spits up. The insides are lined with very soft cotton so it isn't abrasive even to bare skin.
The main trick is to learn how to put the baby in and take her out without outside help. It's one aspect in which Babybjorn is superior, their clipping in system
is foolproof. Here you have to fiddle with straps and clips a bit and it's only really easy if you have someone to help. Nevertheless it's not impossible and once the baby is on it's well worth the effort.
I don't think there's one perfect carrier out there, I believe you have to have at least 2 different ones to swap around mainly because each model puts the strain on one particular area of the back or shoulders and you need to alternate the carriers to give these areas a chance to recover. Also the baby benefits from being seated differently each time for the same reason. With this carrier you cannot wear the baby facing outwards but it's perfect for long walks and trying to get work done while the baby sleeps on the back.
