did anyone use one? what did you think? i'd love to use the ergo on my walks and hikes as the support is so great (and i'm already pushing a jogging stroller, too) but i didn't even own it until cookie was about 7 months old, so i'm clueless!
how big doesthe babe need to be before using?

Re: ergo infant insert?
Fri, April 11, 2008 - 4:58 PMi was told i needed the infant insert until the little babe was 4 mos... ie has good neck control. i know many people that just use a folded towel btw. -

Fri, April 11, 2008 - 5:37 PMthanks nubbee -- i actually meant how big do they need to be before you put them in it at all.... i think the minimum weight on a baby bjorn is 8lbs so i kinda figured it would be the same with the ergo.
does the towel just get folded up and placed behind their heads? -

Fri, April 11, 2008 - 5:44 PMi think my little guy was around 8# or so when i got my ergo. not sure about the weight. the towel would actually be wrapped around them, making them a little hot dog. check out the ergo website and there is a video on how to use the infant insert. im sure you could do the same thing with a bath towel.

Thu, April 17, 2008 - 6:23 PMI got the insert, could never figure out how to use it, then returned it and got the moby wrap which worked out much better for us in the first few months. Now that Fred is 5 months old, we use the Ergo w/out the insert.
