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

    • Well Carneige Library went through carnage a few years ago.. basement which had toilet facilities - just refurbished all ripped out to make way for health club - private of course. Hours of opening reduced… lock in protest that hit press against refurb plans! Now library much smaller than it was, community rooms available to hire - not cheap.. but folk now us rhe whole building as combination of library and community - choir, yoga/Pilates classes, stop in on certain days for health advice, etc.. cafe only serves tea/coffee and cakes as kitchen gutted! Hours of opening more than before so really win win.. those who have not been, know it is EDF but go have a look - beautifully building and use to be lovely enclosed garden at back. Sorry completely off track for Dulwich library….
    • I just wanted to drop a recommendation into the Forum for anyone looking for a tree surgeon. We have been using Hamish of A Cut Above Tree Management for years and he and his team are genuinely brilliant. Exceedingly polite, helpful and friendly, really knowledge about tree issues and super considerate and careful of bringing the debris through our terraced house. Highly recommended! https://cutabovetreemanagement.co.uk/about/
