Ergo wearers - is it worth the $$?
I'm debating making the big purchase. I stopped at Simply for Giggles and tried one on with Parker for about 10 minutes and he seemed to tolerate it fine. I've used a mei-tai a handful of times, but I'm fearful of spending so much on the Ergo to end up either not using it enough or have him end up hate being in it.
Ladies that have one, when do you use yours? The trip to the grocery store or longer outings?
If you have a different soft-structured carrier you like, feel free to chime in!

Re: Ergo wearers - is it worth the $$?
I have a beco butterfly II and I liked it better than the ergo. Baby gets more support and it's much, much easier and safer to do a back carry with it.
I wear my kid(s) everywhere. Making dinner with a clingy baby, the grocery store for sure because Ana unbuckles and scales the side of the cart, festivals, hiking, you name it.
I like my Ergo. DH and I wear our daughter a lot, around the house and when we're out and about (groceries, etc). She has never liked the swing/bouncy/etc, but was very content being worn, so I ended up with 5 different carriers because this was the only way to get anything done.
I also own the Boba, very similar to Ergo but with a foot strap (which I heard would be come in handy when they get older), and has higher weight limit. I wear my daughter in front for both carriers though; I can't seem to wear her on the back on my own (I would need my husband to help me set her up).
Check on babysteals, that's where I get my Ergo for $67.
I have the beco butterfly and its worth its weight in gold! Grier hates her carseat and isn't big enough for the stroller yet (we have a travel system that I hate! lol!) When she's fussy, I put her in it and continue with whatever I was doing.
I like that you can take the carrier off and give it to someone else without having to take the baby out.
