Comfortable, secure, no strain on my back, the cool mesh fabric, & the ability to use w/out insert made LILLEbaby beat out Ergo
I struggled for months & months trying to decide between the Ergo & the LILLEbaby. My final decision came down to comfort -- I live in an area that doesn't see any seasons other than summer & regularly hits 90+ degrees so I chose the full mesh LILLEbaby because of its ability to keep myself & baby as cool as cool as is possible in this California climate.
Some other perks were the ability to use it from birth without having to buy an insert, even with my little preemie who only now just hit 9lbs at 12wks, & the front pocket big enough for my cell phone, keys, & a binky.
It was a little tricky to get on at first but a quick search for a YouTube video fixed that. I also would've liked a bigger choice of colors & designs, although the navy color I ended up with is very appealing nonetheless.
I still plan on keeping my Boba for those times when it's a little cooler out or I want to feel a little closer to my boy, but I'm so happy to be able to choose between the two.
It's still my first day with it, so I may come back & edit this review. I've also just signed up to become a member of a babywearing club where you get to rent different carriers on a monthly basis, so if I find a better one I'll be sure to let you know 😊.
Please let me know if you found this review helpful, as I also rely heavily on others' reviews when purchasing from Amazon.
