My baby hates the Moby wrap and the Ergo. Is this significantly different enough from those two that I should even bother trying it?

Well, it IS significantly different from the Moby Wrap, but it is not significantly different from the Ergo, in terms of the baby's position. I personally bought this because it is easier for me to manipulate, size, and adjust than the Ergo. A structured carrier really isn't comparable to a wrap. I do believe this carrier is a great one, and will be useful for a long time.

I would say no. It is basically an Ergo with different straps. The baby carry position is very similar.

It's my understanding that this product is similar to the Ergo, but I don't have one of those do I can't say for sure. It's pretty different than the Moby Wrap, though. The baby sits differently and there are fewer options for using it. I find the Moby Go provides better (more comfortable) support for baby's legs than the wrap. What does your baby dislike about the other carriers?

I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier. Also depending on how old your baby is it may be very big. Its a toddler sized carrier. I got ours when my son began to out grow the Ergo around 18mo. He's 2 yes and 32lbs now and I can carry him all day in it if needed. All that being said I do love our Moby Go but if your baby doesn't like the Ergo they probably won't like this either. I will also say though that sometimes being in a carrier (of any type) takes an adjustment period for baby. I would keep trying with what you have (for short times and when baby is happiest) or possibly try a ring sling. Hope this helps. I find that its very similar to our Ergo as far as type of carrier.

From my wife.... Very different. I hated the wrap as well. The Moby GO is like a Baby Bjorn but more comfortable.

Bought two of them for gift for my great grand daughters and they love them!

Is he a hot baby? If it's a temp issue I'd say get a gauze ring sling. If he's older a light weight mei tai. I absolutely love this for longer excursions like walking around theme park or city. It's the best carrier for.extended length of time in my opinion.

I don't think so. I haven't tried the Ergo, but have used the Moby wrap with my son which he was happy in. The reason I chose this carrier over the Ergo is because I liked the criss cross back and I had been happy with my other Moby product. It looks to me like babies sit in pretty much the same position in both this carrier and the Ergo. It also seems to have the same coverage. I would guess that if you baby hates the other carriers, he/she probably won't be super happy in this one either.

I don't know what ergo was thinking leaving out the pocket! I went on etsy and had a woman make a pouch that attaches to the ergo so I could hold things. Search ergo 360 and then sewsugarpie is her screen name. Her name is Nichole and she made a bib, a pouch, a hood attachment (since the hood is smaller making it harder to breastfeed discreetly) and some teething pads for the strap in a fabric I picked. She was really easy to work with and made everything I requested.

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.

Leacho makes a newborn version of this. I have it at home. It's the only bath I would use for both of my boys. I first got it 8 years ago for my first son. For my second, who's now 4 months old, I knew EXACTLY which bath I wanted. Now he's getting too big and moves too much so I'm going to upgrade to this one. Here is a link for the newborn version. It's WONDERFUL!!!!!! Leachco Safer Bather Infant Bath Pad, Blue Fish

I have both and love both. I had the performance first and added the 360 because my 4 month old son likes to face out. I would say the performance is better for an infants, but in the long run I will get more use out of the 360. I might also add that I borrowed a Bjorn from a friend and it doesn't even compare both ergonomically for the baby and comfort for the parent. The ergo baby is far superior!

Yes! TSA actually encourages you to leave your baby on when you go through security. Ergo baby has been a traveling lifesaver. It's super easy to use and my baby is comfortable in it.

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

This is a wrap/tie kind. I've owned them all ie Moby and this one was my favorite because it wasn't so thick and moved better for a more comfortable at for baby and me. Hope that helps! :)

It looks like they are very similar; however, you should check out infantino.com to really compare them. I love my ecosash and use it all the time. It's comfortable and easy to use, even by yourself.

Putting baby in the ergo can be used without assistance pretty easily, with practice, but I recommend watching the video demonstration from the Ergo website, or YouTube. I found the demo very helpful to mitigate some of the complaints I read from other reviews, like getting the straps loose. The latch that ends up in the middle of your back can be a little tricky until you are more confident about the baby being in the carrier before it's all tightened and secure.

I do not think so since the ergo carrier and the baby bjorn carriers are so different. I do think it would work with the original ergo (as opposed to the performance) carrier.

Yes. I am a NICU nurse and mother of 2. I am huge on the importance of ergo-dynamics and avoiding hip issues later in life. Other carriers cause babies legs to hang which puts strain on the hips. The sitting position of the ergo carrier avoids any pulling anywhere on your baby's body. A friend used one of the "other brands" regularly on her youngest and she now has a lot of hip problems. Do your research. It will confirm what I am talking about. It's a great carrier. I leave it in the car and use it on a regular basis. It's so easy to go from forward facing to front facing.

My baby hates the car seat and the bassinet. I used this snugseat when she was 2 months for my uppababy vista and she loves it. I say give it a try. Every baby is different.

I would get the ErgoBaby360 because you're baby will like to look out to the world once it's older. I really love mine.

I did not use a baby bjorn potty seat, so I couldn't compare, but my little one found the lil loo potty easy to use. We had some success potty training until we had a grease fire, and the cleaning company threw it away. We now have a potty seat that is the Safety 1st brand, and she doesn't seem to like using it as much as she did the lil loo potty seat.

I have used both the Tommee Tippee bottle and the Momma and like the momma better. My son was also super gassy and the Tippee bottles let out a lot of milk even with the stage one nipple. I also didnt like that he was able to suck the nipple in. With the momma bottle no matter how hard he sucks the nipple stays intact. He loves the momma as well and latches on immediately.
