I have one and I LOVE it to bits, but I'm going to sell it cos I NEED a manduca instead now 
Even though I love it soooo much I need the one thing I don't have ;) Hehe...
I find it really comfortable to wear for a decent amount of time (Not long ago done a 3 hour bushwalk in it with no problems) and once it's set up to the right length, it only take a few seconds to pop on. Now I'm used to adjusting it, I can adjust it pretty quickly too. DH doesn't mind wearing it either which is good.

I have a friend who finds it really uncomfortable to back carryt in the ERGO- the belt clip digd into her hip, so she still front carrys her 14 month old and finds it great. Might be a good idea to try one on first if u can.

my husband loved the Ergo. He used it more than me, it was great for weekend soccer games at keeping eden contained and able to see what was going on.

I love my Ergo. We've only just started using it though because Chloe didn't much like being in it with the infant insert when she was little (she doesn't really like being all wrapped up - likes dangly legs ).
But it's great now! The weight is very well-distributed and I can walk around for ages with her in it. Much prefer it to the pram when we go to the mall or something. It's a lot easier than lugging my giganto-pram in and out of the boot every time.

Good having the pocket on the front...big enough for a disposable nappy, wipes, my wallet and my keys, and a hat! We use ours lots.

I love mine! I use it daily, often a couple of times a day. My son comes running whenever he sees it clipped onto my waist. My son is 26lbs but I can wear it for hours comfortably - today we went for a 90 minute hike and I could have kept on going.
