This carrier saved my life on my recent trip to Europe. I could not have gotten my DS to sleep without it.
-----[ POSITIVES ]-----
Full Buckle On/Off
I had a few baby carriers (sling and wrap) but was looking for one that would allow for quick on/off in a plane as well as an easy way to remove my sleeping baby and put down if needed (bassinet on plane; crib while visiting). The full buckle of the Ergo made both of these possible. I had to put my DS in the Ergo on the plane to get him to sleep. Once he was I just reached back and unbuckled the top buckle and let the Ergo fold off of him. I could easily put him down in the bassinet from there.
Weight:
The Ergo really does transfer your baby's weight to your hips instead of feeling it in your back. My DS does not go to sleep easily nor does he like extended time in strollers. While traveling he spent ALOT of time in the Ergo - especially on the days we flew. I never reached a point where I felt like I just couldn't have him on me anymore.
Hood:
I LOVED the hood feature of the Ergo. This came in so handy when my DS was sleeping or in bad weather.
Wear Under Coat:
I thought this worked well under my coat. The Ergo kept my DS close to me so he was warm. Then I just brought the bottom of my coat around his legs and barely zipped it so it stayed shut.
Sucking Pads:
These are not included - they cost extra - but I think they are worth it. My DS immediately starting sucking on the straps so I ordered the pads. They are much easier to wash than the whole Ergo.
Good for male/female:
My DH isn't too keen on wearing a wrap but would totally wear the Ergo. The buckles make it easy to adjust for him or me.
-----[ NEGATIVES ]-----
I do love this carrier, but I agree with some other comments here.
Bulky:
When not wearing the Ergo it is bulky to carrier around, but for me it's worth the hassle. I just shoved it in the stroller basket.
Cannot Face Out:
The down side to the Ergo is that you cannot wear your child on the front facing out. This is a bit of a disadvantage when compared to a wrap. My DS is a very active, interested-in-everything type guy and I know would rather face out so he can see everything.
** I have not tried the hip hold yet with the Ergo - this could be an option for him.
-----[ KEEP IN MIND ]-----
Some of the negative comments I've read here I don't think are a negative reflection of this product. Baby wearing is extremely unique to each parent and child. Part of it is just finding what works for your and your baby's preferences. I would really recommend mother's groups (such as LLL) or anywhere you can try on samples. In my area one mother's group has a baby wearing sample library where mom's can check out carriers to test them out before purchase. It's important to learn what you baby likes before spending serious money on carriers.
