I've been using the ergo with newborn insert for q few days now but have run into a bit of a pickle. Whenever I have it on, although all the straps are as tight as they'll go, the straps still gape and slide down my shoulders.


What am I doing wrong?! Answers on a postcard please... Or in this thread (life when Husband goes back to work depends on the Ergo, am crap With my moby wrap and small small baby.

I know the clip you mean - it's done up and done up tight! Argh, damn my weird posture and body!


SB: thanks for the offer! I'm going to have a good look at the ergo tomorrow and see if I can do a bit of problem solving. If I still can't work out what I'm doing wrong (ergo wise, not parenting wise, that's another thread...) then I'd love to borrow it! Lex loves being worn, which ia fine but not great when all you want is a shower. Ha!

Hmm, have you got the straps high enough? If reaching to do up yourself I'd think you must have, but guessing you may still have hubby at home & helping you?


This really shouldn't be happening so it sounds like something isn't right. Hard to say without seeing you in it though.

Hey I used to have a similar problem,usually after hubbie had used the ergo and loosened all the straps...you've probably done this, but perhaps try sliding the back straps up higher (the ones with the clasp), or tighten the underarm straps as far as possible.


Know what you mean about showers, and also when they fall asleep on you when you haven't gotten dressed yet and screamy toddler needs a trip to the park...


Happy to help in person if you don't know any other ergo-users!


All best x

      They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.

      Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)?

      OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
