Ergo owners - HELP!

[alittleteapot]

Hello, just bought an Ergo and it's fab BUT when I put DD on my front I find it almost impossible to do up the chest strap across my back. Any tips? Am I doing something wrong?

You can slide the chest strap up to the very top, makes it easier to reach. The instructions also say you can do it up first, then put it over your head IYSWIM. Not tried that though.
It is indeed fab -tried a back carry for the first time today -worked really well, ds loved it

Brilliant! Thanks Lavender.

Yes, the back carry is great isn't it. So comfy. I love the little hood for when they sleep.

mmmm, difficult i never mastered the best way to do this , good luck, love my ergo too tho , my little one is nearly four and still goes in it!

agree with lavender mist.

I carried dd2 until she was two and a half on my back in the ergo - it's great. I only stopped because I was pregnant again, and because she wants to walk everywhere.

How long did your DCs sleep in it?

Strap bit better now but not great. But all good otherwise. (Think they could come up with some prettier colours though...)

ps by how long i mean till what age rather than how long were their sling naps!
