First off, all I have to say about the Ergo carrier in general is Genius! I was so thrilled when I was given the chance to review Ergo's new Performance carrier. I have a Ergo carrier that I have been using since Finley was about 4 months old, and it was the best investment that I had made as far as carriers go, or baby gear in general. I had used the snuggli, tried a sling, tried the Bjorn. Seriously, none of these were comfy for me or for Finley. Then a friend of mine clued me in on the Ergo, and I will never go back.
I have always had back issues since a teen and this carrier is the only one that didn't leave me sore after wearing baby for a few hours at a time. I love to go for walks and I love to shop, so this really was the best carrier for me.
When Ergo came out with the performance I just knew I had to try to it. Once I received I fell in love all over again. I gifted my old carrier to my dear friend Bethany who had never used an Ergo before and she wrote me a message after using saying "I don't know what I ever did without one." Isn't that the truth? I 100% agree, I would be lost without my Ergo.
When I received the Ergo I quickly adjusted it to fit me comfortably, then scooped Ezzie up and plopped him in. The smile on his face looking up at me said it all. He loved it. I love how breathable the performance is, it feels a little more light weight than the original but still soft and comfortable. I also put Finley in it and she was just as comfortable and would have stayed in it all day while I cleaned if I let her.

My plan was to show photos of us out exploring the trails since we have had some great spring weather but we got sick, so this is as good as it gets for now :(
On Saturday I needed to go into Missoula and run a whole bunch of errands. The kids were sick but it needed to be done. So I left Fin at home with Aaron and took Ezra with me. The performance carrier was a life saver. My poor little sickie snuggled right in and I got my shopping done quickly, hands free, stress free and comfy.
Some Great Facts about the Performance Ergo:
Lighter weight (1/3 lighter than our Standard Carrier) This lighter weight fabric, with mesh lining, is ideal for active parents who want to bring baby on the go.
Durable outer layer, ideal for outdoor sports and activities
The rugged exterior provides extra protection against the elements.
Comfort contouring on shoulder straps
Contoured shoulder straps keep your baby close to your body, eliminating extra strain on your shoulders or back. Thinner foam padding provides cushion without bulk.
Chest strap on slider for easy adjusting
Easily adjust the chest strap to accommodate your own comfort with the sleek and streamlined slider.
Waist belt extends 5" longer than Standard ERGObaby Carrier
Extra length in waist belt provides a better fit for babywearers of all sizes

I am pining for an Ergo Sports Carrier! Although the Performance is also pretty cool... But I think the Sports one due to it's extra lightweight-ness and breathability (if they're even real words!)
