We have an ergo carrier and have not used it yet because we didn't get the infant insert.
Our baby is almost 4 months old and has good enough body and head control to sit up straight in it (her head does not come over the top, though, but she seems happy in there). We have many carriers including the Moby and a ring sing but we'd like to use this on an upcoming trip on which we'll be on foot a lot in a busy city abroad. However, her legs seem open much wider (in order to sit with legs to each side of my body) than they would naturally be in any other position besides in the carrier. Is her body still too tiny for this? Is it bad for her hips at this point? I could call the company for this info, so I guess what I really want to know, is when did you switch from the insert to regular use? What age was your little one? |

My son is on the small side and I started using the Ergo without the insert when he was 3 months old. I wondered about the legs as well, but DS seemed very comfortable.
I could never get the hang of the insert, and DS hated it. We were in the thick of summer and I think he was too hot, plus he was so small that I think he felt lost in the thing. |

| Yes, where we are traveling next week is going to be the hot end of summer. I actually tried her in it again today and I found that if I bend her knees up so that she's in more of a squat (with her legs not poking out) her hips aren't stretched as much and she looks very comfortable. Thanks for the responses. |
