Sport or Performance best for hot weather? We live in a very hot climate (India) and I'd love any input on which Ergo carrier is best for the heat? Which is most breathable and light?

I have the performace and used it all over Nigeria. The baby was fine and I didn't get too hot myself. It's a great carrier since the traffic is so crazy there; it's a great way to keep baby close while you walk all over a super busy city.

I live in AZ and obviously it's really hot here!! The type of material seems to keep the heat off my baby, it's not fuzzy and doesn't seem to trap the heat at all. In fact, I haven't even noticed her being sweaty when I take her out, even if the sun is beating down on her. I am very very happy with this carseat. It's the best!Edit: I got the cub pink and I'm not sure if the type of fabric is different vs other patterns, but it's kind of like a vinyl material, so it is really good at keeping the heat off.

The Baby Bjorn will be too small. I recommend the Ergo original carrier (not the sport or performance) which has straps that easily extend to fit most people. Plus you can use it till your child is 40 lbs, vs the Baby Bjorn that only can be used till age one (20 lbs) as it becomes very uncomfortable.

I have had both white and black and loved them both. I live in Oregon though ;) so if I was doing a lot of riding in hot desert climes, I might choose white. I love this Sport helmet so light and comfortable. I tried to upgrade and bought a Spirit and I can't wear it! gives me a headache literally.

I use it for road cycling and find this to be the best one yet, it maintains good tension over the face but is easy to pull under the chin if I need a little more freedom to breathe or overheat. This garment is pretty well shaped for the face, but not rigid or "structured" in any way. The thinness of the Lycra cuts the wind without overheating the face. I hope this helps, and, I have four, it's that good a fit for the huge melon on top of my neck!

my son is almost 18m and tall. i've done both front and hip carries with it. it is very comfy. we've only been using it for a bit over a month, and i love this thing. i prefer it to the ergo where comfort is concerned, and it won't dig into your neck on hip carries like the ergo straps do. someone else responded that their daughter outgrew the carrier at 7m, which is nuts. unless it was a type and she meant 27 or 37 months. my son still has plenty of room to grow in it.

Mariacristina P ...I purchased a Phubby Sport Wrist Cubby for running. It is a one size fits all. I love wearing it in half marathons or on long runs when the weather is cool or cold. I do find that in hot weather I sweat under the wrist wallet. My suggestion for the best running wallet on the market: The RooSport Magnetic, Attachable Running Pocket (LARGE)The roo sport magnetic wallet. It will hold a cell phone, a passport, a key, and you never realize it is there.

Also baby bjorn is ten timesEasier to snap on than ergo. Overall, this was a great carrier for up to 20 lbs, after that it was too hard on shoulders and switched to ergo. But for short outings it will be fine up to 25lbs. Right now my son is 23 lbs at 16 months so you can see how long this will last. Ergo can last past 2 yrs and is better for baby sleeping. My son always fallsAsleep in ergo not so much bjorn as feet are always moving and dangling.

Also, a lot of people love this heli, and a lot of people love this heli but say the servos are weak, cyclic/tail. I fly in Houston summer weather. ESC and tail server do get hot, but I have got about 60+ flights with it, no issues yet.The devo 7 is a good radio. I like the feel of it. I did however upgrade to the 8s. You have got more options as to what you can fly with deviation software available now.

It has 12% less ventilation than the Aeon, according to Giro, but I have ridden in 100 plus degree weather and still maintained a cool head. Well as cool as you can get in 100 plus degree riding.

My dog did well with the backpack. My only concern is if the weather is really hot as I would want more breathability in the pack. But for cooler or moderate weather I would highly reccommend this pack.

My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo. The shoulder straps loosen quite a bit so that your baby can sit lower in order to reach the breast. You can buy sling type carriers that put the baby in a more natural position for nursing but I always found that I still had to hold baby up to the breast because I couldn't get the carrier to adjust perfectly. In the Ergo my son can nurse completely hands free. I have heard that the Moby wraps are good for nursing in but I've never had one. I love my Ergo. It's by far the most comfortable carrier I have ever owned and it can hold up to 35 lbs so we will get a few years out it.

I don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

I haven't done a complete analysis other than the reason I chose the Ergo 360 over the Bjorn, was that the ergo keeps my daughter's bottom cradled in a natural frog position in her hips & thighs and doesn't cause the hip & thigh dangle that the Bjorn does. I was also told for boys in a Bjorn it would be the equivalent of straddling an arm of a couch for a long period of time with gravity & walking I can't see how that would be comfortable.

I don't know the answer to this question, but I used both an Ergo and the BBII and I chucked my Ergo once I tried the BBII. IMO it's worlds better. See my review for why.

I didn't have any problem with that-I used it Mongolia though, and it was not in a hot & humid environment. There is still plenty of airflow through it in spite of the pocket (which was where I had my rain gear-was riding on horses)

Hi A220. You may find the Ergo a little large. There are quite a few adjustment options. The height of the connection between the shoulder straps can be adjusted (up and down the middle upper back). I found that I wished this would actually slide down lower. In terms of strap length - you could definitely tighten all around to suit your smaller frame. FYI I am 5'7" and around 145lbs. I would still recommend. I have read from other reviews of plenty of women 5'0" wearing them. Even after a long walk, I can feel tired carrying my little one. I think it's just the nature of carriers. Still far less if I had carried her for same distance &#128512;
