I'm just a baby wearer in practice."-- yes, that is me too! Its so much more convenient for a long grocery trip or a cranky baby... but I don't wear her just because, and sometimes I find it more convenient to stick the car seat in the shopping cart rather than tangle us up in the Moby just to get one thing at the store.<br /><br />Just came across your blog today through a friend. I thought this was an appropriate post to comment on as I just figured out the ergo for the first time today (she's 12 weeks) and was wearing a cranky baby in it as I read your post (standing up. Because I was not allowed to stop moving.)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-58249581193546408112014-07-08T14:04:11.322-04:002014-07-08T14:04:11.322-04:00Anne, I didn't use the infant insert, so I cou...Anne, I didn't use the infant insert, so I couldn't say. I started using the Ergo when we was about 3 months old and by then he was big enough to go w/o it. It took me a few tries to figure the Ergo out. The front carry is easy. I still haven't quite figured out the side carry, but I hardly ever use it anyway. And the back, though I can do it on my own, I'm still new enough at it that I like to have an adult spotting me while I'm getting him in an out. I think once the baby's a little bigger/stronger it will actually be easier to get him on my back. If you try the Ergo, let me know what you think!

Must reboot post-partum brain....<br />Okay, Love the last picture- so cute!!!<br />I totally agree about the Moby, and I'm thinking of upgrading to the Ergo now, but hate to shell out the cash. I do have a question-- does the infant insert really work to keep the baby upright? Mine always gets squished in the Moby and I'm afraid he can't breathe. Also, is it quick to get on? That darn Moby takes time, and if I don't get it tight enough the first time, I have to start all over..... urgh....Anne McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179996548441215406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-31533014081314181332014-06-29T11:45:22.461-04:002014-06-29T11:45:22.461-04:00haha. i think i tried every baby carrier too and ...haha. i think i tried every baby carrier too and hated them all. finally using the moby wrap with Daniel but I too always wondered about the ergo will your mom get me one too? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425151854184824241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-52494739080897054212014-06-27T22:06:38.249-04:002014-06-27T22:06:38.249-04:00I hear ya.

It took me a few times dragging the fabric over the grocery store parking lot or playground dirt to realize, "I should just put this on at home before I even get in the car." And wrapping that thing around me in private spared me a lot of awkward looks in public :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440812661317797011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-23216169861760353282014-06-27T22:03:16.983-04:002014-06-27T22:03:16.983-04:00Wal-Mart does breed some sketchy characters.

That's the one drawback for me to the Moby...when you have to put it on in places where it is very sketchy to have fabric you're about to wrap around you and your baby dragging all over the floor and/or dirt. But still worth it.

THEN (since my babies are large and fat and bulk up quickly WITHOUT learning how to walk until forever) I got a pricier, but awesome, Didymos wrap. It's basically a thicker and more-supportive Moby, made from a different material. Not the best thing in the summer, but still awesome. I have now decided not to spend any more money on wraps, much to my husband's relief. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973903529427378372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-18358197817167511962014-06-27T09:15:13.126-04:002014-06-27T09:15:13.126-04:00I love this!
