I have the performance and love it. The straps are longer (waste & arms) and thinner material so it's good for hot climates. I'd definitely stick with Ergo over any brand and often see moms hauling their 3 year old kids around in it so it's worth the investment.

It's new..I still use it bc when it does work it's amazing..and now my son is 14 mos not a newborn.. But I've had numerous problems with the connection/wifi. And the customer service is terrible. Hoping they work out the bugs bc it has so much potential.

The Boba sits higher on the waist than the Ergo. Of the two, I prefer the Performance Ergo. It's more durable and better for hot weather. The Boba is canvas and doesn't hold up too well after a washing. Hope that helps.

Depends if your summer is 65-75 degrees than I think it's fine. We used it year round in San Fran and it was perfect better for grocery shopping . We also have the ergo for longer outings. Baby bjorn gets hard on your shoulders as baby gains weight , ergo more comfy but baby loves being frontwards in bjorn. That's why we bought both!

Check out the all new uppa baby vista at http://www.pishposhbaby.com/uppa-baby-vista-2010.html. I just pre-ordered mine. Its got some real great improvements from the 2009. I'm really glad I waited. The main one is the seat position. The 09 does not sit all the way up. The highest position is still a slight recline. The new one has another position added for a straight up seat. Cant wait to get it.

I had a Graco snug ride 35 and it wasn't the best fit. I strapped it in while trying it out but never actually used it like that while I was out. He loved it with out his infant seat. Best stroller i have ever owned by far.

We just bought this innotab 2 and love it. We had the fist one, but my little boy kept dropping it so it no longer worked properly. I would wait until she is 4 or so to get it, it didn't make it long at our house due to slippery fingers! Hopefully now that he is 5 this new one will fare better. Good luck!!

I have the Performance Sport and love it. I believe the difference is that the Performance Sport has a 5 point harness to secure the child starting at 20 pounds and can go up to 65 pounds. Once they reach that weight limit you use the vehicle seat belt to secure them in the seat. The Performance Booster does not have a 5 point harness. The child must be 30 lbs to start using this seat and is only secured by the vehicle seat belt. So, it would depend on the age/size of your child and whether or not you want them protected by a 5 point harness if he/she is still under 65 pounds. If they are already past that weight limit I guess the seats would work the same. I have the Performance Sport and love it.

This carrier is long past release date, (it came out in March) but keeps selling out. Sellers are getting them as they become available. Right now, one Amazon seller has it in black only and no one else (including the Ergobaby store) has it. Next week might be different.Ergobaby is supposed to get more units in grey "mid June" and more in black in July. Please be wary of Ebay sellers on pricey sold-out hot baby items like this. There are a lot of fakes circulating and bad stitching can mean your baby falls. Ebay is great if you're getting a terrific price on some older clothes or something, but new high price items may be frauds.

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

No it doesnt. Beware do not buy this product from dahive on amazon they are selling fraud ergobaby carriers. make sure you call ergobaby and see if the seller is registered with them to sell their product. Lame huh?

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.

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'm not 100% on the model numbers and I don't still have my packaging. It looks like maybe they have a typo in the description. Make sure that the camera that you already have is the Summer Infant Baby Touch BOOST. If it's the earlier version (just the Summer Infant Baby Touch Video Monitor) it won't work. I made that mistake when I first bought this. Then I tried to find an extra camera for the earlier version and couldn't and just ended up buying the new system as well. I made sure to buy the BOOST version and this camera works with that so you can look up that model number to confirm that it is what you have.

I have not used any other ergo carrier but my little guy does get pretty warm in the performance. I don't think any carrier could really be very cool since the baby is right up against you.

I'm not sure. Perhaps check on their website? I was recommended to go with this one because babies can use it longer than the other brand that Buy Buy Baby carries (can't recall the name). My baby is chunkier (4mo) and it works great for him. :)

Yes, your daughter would fit. The Ergo Baby Carrier Original holds children up to 40 pounds. The neck support on the Ergo carriers is, by my standards, not as good as it is on some other wearers, but the Ergo has a sun hood that snaps over baby's head. When baby needs more neck support while sleeping, the hood works fine. My daughter is 3 years old and 35 pounds, and still fits comfortably in an Ergo.
