I'm pretty excited about this baby carrier I just got, the ERGO. Normally, I would not take the time to write about baby gear--that's BORING--but this carrier merits some attention.
I've been wanting a 'system' that would allow us to go on hikes, or to the zoo, without a stroller. I tried out several models of Kelty baby carriers (the kind with the metal frame), and even though they were up to double the price of the ERGO, I could barely stand to walk around the store with Booga bear on my back. All I could think about was my poor spine, and how darn heavy a 25 lb. boy is! Not so with the ERGO! I also think it would be far superior to baby bjorn-type carriers, which I found to be fine up to about 15 pounds, but too uncomfortable to use after that.
(I got free shipping on the ERGO here)

I am borrowing an ERGO from a friend, but I'm having a little trouble with it. Are you wearing booga on your front or back? I haven't tried Mary on the back yet, but on the front it's like my shoulders aren't broad enough or something. The straps keep slipping off.
Hmmm, I haven't tried the front position, just the back. Are you using the clip to link the straps together over you back? The straps are roomy so I can kind of see how they could slip, but it seems like if all three shoulder strap adjusters were tight it would stay. Have you tried the hip position?
