Too late to get an Ergo carrier?

DS is 8 months old and I'd like to be able to carry him around when we are out vs always having him in the stroller or in my arms. We have a Baby Bjorn but at 22 pounds, it's just too snug.

I've seen people rave about an Ergo carrier and I'm just wondering if at 8 months, its still worth it to buy one. I think they are about $100 right, which is ok if I'll be able to get some use out of it.

What do you think? Any other carrier you'd suggest for a 22 pound, 28 inch chubby bundle of joy ?

Re: Too late to get an Ergo carrier?

I was thinking of getting one myself (DD is also 8 months) but I didn't realize how much they were. All the ones I saw were $130+ so I didn't think it would be worth it.

But you can use them for a long time (up to 40 lbs I think) but I know I won't be lugging her around that long !

Try this store called Baby Chic NY on Hillside Ave in Williston Park. I would call them. They carry all kinds of used stuff but in AWESOME condition for like half the price. They may have one.

I got it for him at 7 months... he's almost 9 months now and I love it. It is SO MUCH more comfortable than the Bjorn.
