Ergo Baby Organic Twill Sienna Sunset Carrier

Ergo Baby Organic Twill Sienna Sunset Carrier

I was very excited to be asked to submit an Ergo Baby Organic Carrier review because of the pleasant surprises this product held for me. After opening the box I was initially impressed with how darn cute the Ergo carrier is!



In the review I considered how helpful the products many features would be to a modern parent.

Which Ergo Baby Carrier is Best?

In my study I learned that all of this company's products offer the same features that parents want, style, safety and comfort. The primary differences, in my opinion, came down to color preference.

Who wouldn't be enthusiastic about finding a baby carrier that is comfortable without having an "institutional" look about it? I generally am not that carried away after wearing one baby after another using various brands as new moms and dads who are just learning the ropes but I liked the Ergo from the start!


I have to tell you that I knew before I ever loaded baby up for a test run that I loved the looks of the Organic Twill Sienna Sunset Carrier that I was sent for this review. I couldn't help but notice the fun colors and the textures of the fabric and the embroidery on the exterior as well as the colorful striped lining is so cool! And speaking of the liner, the colors are to die for. The colors of the stripes range from denim blue to electric purple with shades of peach and pink in between. I know that appearances don't mean much when looking for a baby carrier that causes back and shoulder pain but I would be remiss if I didn't tell you how stylish this Ergo Organic is.

NOT JUST A PRETTY CARRIER...IT'S COMFORTABLE!

I don't have back problems, but there have been times when I had some pain in my shoulders and lower back after carrying a baby for over a couple of hours. With some carriers my back got tired very quickly but that was not the case with the Ergo Baby Organic; I could tell that my hips were bearing most of the load. The shoulder straps and waist belt were padded nicely to avoid aches in those areas as well.

THE TALL and SHORT OF IT!

My husband and I both tried the carrier to see how versatile it was with people of different heights and body measurements. I am a bit hippy at 5'7" and he's a tall and thin 6f4 (no Jack Sprat jokes, please) and we saw that it adjusted to fit both of us nicely. This may not seem like a big deal to some but when both mom and dad like to carry baby, it eliminates the need to buy two separate carriers. For the record, he was not as bowled over with the colors as I was and said he would have preferred to have either the chocolate brown or the midnight blue carriers since they are manly colors.

NURSE NEWBORNS DISCRETELY

We're beyond relying on the elasticized sleeping hood to hold the baby's head secure (but other moms rave about it) but it came in handy for discreet nursing. When you aren't using the hood it tucks neatly inside a pocket on the front of the carrier. And speaking of pockets, there's a handy little zippered pocket to the side that is big enough to hold some wipes in a ziploc bag and a diaper or two. I socked some diapers inside while I was carrying baby around the house doing some work and liked that I didn't have to return to the nursery for supplies so often.

HOW LONG CAN YOU USE IT?

Not that any of you will be carrying your babies when they reach a weight of 90 pounds, but it's nice to know that the Ergo Baby Organic has been strength tested to be safe up to 90 pounds. When I read this fact, I had to take a second look at the webbing and quick-snap buckles to see if I bought it and while I'm not about to find a child that weighs 90 lbs to test the claim; I will say that all of the belts and buckles seem top notch eliminating the worry that you will have to invest in another carrier as your little one grows.


PRICE

I found the same carrier I was sent for the Ergo Baby Organic Carrier Review on sale on the ERGOBABY website listed for $148 and I saw a new one on Ebay for $99 plus shipping. A similar used Ergo Organic carrier sold for $69 recently. What this means is that if you buy one new and then resell it that you will get a huge percentage of your initial investment back. That is another great reason to buy a baby carrier with high consumer ratings.


THE BOTTOM LINE

This carrier gets a 5 star rating from me on its cool, bohemian appearance. It's a carrier that ladies will feel pretty wearing and that's a good thing.

It gets 4.5 stars for comfort and convenience. I might have gone higher if it were possible for baby to face outwards. This was not a huge drawback for me due to nursing but some babies are not happy with this position.

DO I RECOMMEND THIS CARRIER?

So long as you don't have a problem with baby not facing outwards, I absolutely would recommend buying this carrier! Do not make the mistake of buying a less expensive carrier only to find that you would have been wise to start out with this one and then resell it.

can't live without it!
by: magreen

I am the delighted owner of an ORIGINAL ergo - from many many years ago. This carrier made it possible for me to function as myself and MOM. Mine is pretty worn and they seem to have gotten better over the years. When my buckle got smashed in the car door - I thought it would be an easy fix, but it's not so much, so I'm shopping for one now for my 7 month old - and I feel like I'm losing valuable usage time! I would be so thrilled to win one. It's a big purchase - but worth the $$ especially for those on their first kid!

Ergo Carriers are the best
by: Anonymous

I have a Bjorn baby carrier and thought I liked it until I tried my friends Ergo. I was amazed at how easy the Ergo is on my back and shoulders and it comes in so many beautiful colors. I especially love the Organic River Rock Green carrier! It's such a natural, outdoorsy color perfect for communing with Mother Nature. It's a fact that bright colors would attract unwanted insects directly to your baby!

Save the pink or blue color carrier for the mall. They are not the best colors to carry baby hiking or camping.

Ergo vs. Baby Bjorn Baby Carriers

Comparison of the Ergo to the Moby Wrap
by: Jessep & Erin

My friends who have an Ergo encouraged me to borrow their's so that I could see how much better and easier it is to use than a Moby Wrap.

Now I know that we need to toss our Moby Wrap because it is difficult to use and not comfortable for my 7 week old son.

I'm ready to upgrade to an Ergo!

Ergo
by: Annieem

I bought a carrier for my grandson and gave various ones a trial run before buying an Ergo and I made the right decision because the Ergobaby is sturdy and not too mention adorably cute. I love the Sunset Organic because I'm a boho at heart and love the look of it!

My son and daughter in law are taller than I and it fits them and is as comfortable for their body type as it is for me.

Want an Ergo!
by: Anonymous

My sister has an Ergo that proved to be a real lifesaver one day when she drank green tea and the baby would not relax and go to sleep.

I relieved my sister at 9pm after he'd been up and fussy all day. She looked like a wreck and when I stepped in, the only thing that would calm my nephew was putting him in his Ergo and walking him around. Thank God for that Ergo; it's so comfortable and really does soothe a baby!

Love the Ergo
by: susanlanai

We have an old school Ergo and just love the ease of use. It is just as easy for me as it is for my hubby to adjust it to himself. We love how easy and comfortable it is to carry your little one. It was a time saver while going through security at airports (although rules have changed and you now need to put your carrier through the x-ray machine and carry your little one in your arms). The only thing I wish was that it wasn't quite as bulky as it does take up quite a lot of space in our backpack when not in use. Other than that one wish, Ergo is the carrier we always turn to.

Comparisons
by: Michelle

I am a new mommy so I have not had an opportunity to make comparisons with other baby carriers. My first (and only) experience with baby wearing has been with my Ergo.

Being new to the parent club I, of course, read reviews of the Ergo baby carrier on the internet including yours.

We had just moved from Germany to Guam when we found out that we had a baby on the way, so needless to say, life changed.

In our new location we do a lot of hiking and walking on the beach and the Ergo has been outstanding.

It has great support, and that is most important, and you're review was right.. it's just pretty :-)

Not Cheap but Good
by: Frances

I was told by a friend that those carriers are by far the best of all the carriers sold today. ErgoBaby may seem a bit pricey at first, but they are worth every cent.

I have experimented with different carriers and I have to say that I have been disappointed with most that I tried.

The carrier is comfortable and not too bulky and hard to manage. I just don't like using carriers that feel so bulky and huge to have latched onto me, since I'm not exactly skinny.

They are practical, comfy and stylish.

Ergo is an exceptional value
by: Anonymous

What impresses me most is that the carrier is designed to be the only carrier I need. I can add the infant insert for my child's first months and continue using it long after infancy. Sustainable and beautiful. What could be better?

That makes the argument that the price is too expensive null and void...it's not cheap but it lasts!

ERGO Baby Carrier Positions
by: Ashleigh

I love that this can be worn in three different positions :) Not only can I wear it when I'm out but baby can easily be strapped comfortably to me while getting the correct sitting position for hip and spine growth as I do things around the house. It's a plus that it wasn't only built for baby in mind but me too!

Eco-Friendly but Luxurious

I love my Performance Carrier for the fact that it's lighter weight since I live in a warm climate where me and my child are in danger of overheating!

I've heard only rave reviews of the Ergo Carrier and thought I'd add my .02!

The review that you wrote on the carrier is great! I love any of the gender neutral organic Ergo baby carriers since I already have two kids and a third on the way. I like black since wearing anything black is always a great way to look slimmer and that is important to me when I am pregnant or have just delivered cause although I am not fat I still feel all frumpy and like to look good.

ERGO's the BEST!
by: Korissa

Here is why Ergo's the BEST carrier out there...
1. Ergo Baby Carriers are so stylish! And as you said in your review, they come in many colors that will go with anything and give Mom's mood a little lift!
2. They are not big and bulky, they have wide straps so baby's weight won't put a strain on your shoulders and they have great straps for back support.
3. The carrier works for newborns on up!
4. I've read that they are VERY easy to use and that you don't need 3 people to help you put it on and then 2 more to help you put baby in. Makes them better for moms and dads on the go!
5. The positive reviews with few complaints make them easy to resell!
