 I don't understand how this thing is supposed to work August 19, 2010
Katie M. Gall (Pittsburgh, PA)
I bought the new infant insert like everyone else on here hoping it would support my baby in the ergobaby. The ergobaby seems like it will be great for when my son gets older, but this infant insert just doesn't make any sense. My son is squished and hot. Not to mention it doesn't support his head at all. When he's leaning backwards he looks like he is straining his neck as it doesn't offer much support. I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong but he's looking straight up towards the sky, that can't be comfortable! If he leans forward he is right under my chin so I can't look around and I'm afraid he can't breathe. To be honest my son and I both hate this stupid thing. I wish they would come out with better instructions on how to use it. I might try what others have said they did and just use the cushion, but at 4 weeks I don't think he'll have enough head control for that. Maybe down the line it'll work. I'm excited to use the carrier without the insert.
 Much better than the previous version July 30, 2010

Great infant insert...have been using it since my son was 2 weeks old. The Ergo can't be beat. The only complaint I would ever have is that we get so hot especially in the summer.
It works but it's very hot July 16, 2010

I bought the Ergo baby carrier along with the Heart2Heart Infant Insert for my 3rd baby. He was born in March and I have used this carrier with the insert with him since he was 2 weeks old. It worked GREAT when he was that little. The insert kept him snuggled close and really supported him in the upright position. However, that was at the beginning of April, when it is still cooler weather outside (low 70's). In the mornings it was still cool enough to put him in the carrier and walk my oldest daughter to school. By the afternoon, though, it was way too hot (mid-to-upper 70's) to have him bundled inside the insert for any length of time. Now that it's July, I can't put him in the insert outside at all, it's just too hot. I live in Okinawa, Japan, but the humidity and heat here are very similar to that of Florida summers (I've lived there, too). Now that my son is 3 months old and has good head control I can take the base out of the insert and use just that in the carrier, to prop him higher so he's not sitting below the top of the carrier. But if he didn't have good head control I could not do this and the insert would've been a waste of money. So if your baby is due in spring or summer and you live in a hot/warm climate, I wouldn't bother with the infant insert. It will just make you and the baby way too hot. I do totally recommend the Ergo baby carrier, though. I wish I'd had it when my older two were babies!
I love it, the baby loves it! July 8, 2010

I was a little skeptical after reading some reviews of the infant insert, but I decided to try it out anyway. I have used the Bjorn and various maya type slings, and this is by far the most comfortable carrier. I'm prone to plugged ducts and mastitis, and this carrier with the insert puts no pressure on my chest, so it's great in that regard.
I started using the infant insert when my newest was almost 3 weeks old. It was a little hard to figure out where her feet and legs go at first, and she was really uncomfortable when I tried to splay them out and have her feet poke out the sides. That's definitely not the way to do it with such a little baby. I found that the trick is to have her knees up following the line of the fabric just along the inside of the padding and her feet almost touching and down at the V shaped base. You may think they're getting squished but she doesn't complain at all so it must be comfortable for her.
I also couldn't figure out whether she was supposed to have her head resting on the top edge, kind of sitting away from my body or resting on my chest. She took care of that for me. When she's awake her head is up and she's peering around. When she gets tired she puts her head down on my chest and rests very comfortably.
The hotness factor was also something I read about. My daughter was born in mid June and we live in Maryland, where it's pretty hot and humid in the summer. Yes, the insert is hot. But so is the Bjorn, and so are slings. I just put her in a onesie and we're both a little damp on the chest when she comes out. No big deal, really. I think the pros outweigh the one con that it's hot.
So it does take a little fiddling to get it just right, but once you do it's super comfortable for you as the wearer, and a nice little nest for the baby to ride around in. I definitely recommend it!
 Didn't really work for us July 4, 2010

I ordered the heart to heart insert after trying to use the original infant insert with my Ergo carrier. My daughter LOVES to be held on my chest. She often falls asleep that way. I was having a hard time figuring out how to use the original infant insert and came across the heart to heart insert (I didn't realize there were two when I ordered the original). I had used the original insert a few times and she would just fall asleep in it, but I was never really sure if I had her positioned correctly. So I decided to get the heart to heart. I tried to use the heart to heart a few times, but she would just cry when I put her in it. I ended up going back to the original insert and sending back the heart to heart. Once she got a bit bigger (she was only 6 lbs when she was born), I found the original insert worked just fine. Also, I agree with a few other reviewers that the Ergo is really hot. My baby was born in April and we've tried using the Ergo but it has just been too hot. I also have a Baby Bjorn, which is not much better in hot weather. The one thing I REALLY like about the Bjorn is that she can face out. She loves being held facing out, so I got the Bjorn so I could actually get my hands back. It has worked great so far. I think the Bjorn is much easier to figure out.
