So, you're having a tough time deciding between the Pikkolo Baby Carrier, and the ERGO Baby Carrier. I can see why, they have a lot of similarities. For instance they are both made with 100% cotton, with wide padded shoulder straps, and padded waist belts. Both are ergonomically correct, and provide extra lumbar support. The max weight is pretty close to the same, the Pikkolo Baby Carrier has a max weight of 40 pounds, whereas the ERGO's max weight is 39.7 pounds.
As for the differences, first of all we have the price. The listing price for the Pikkolo Baby Carrier is $129.00, as opposed to the ERGO's $115.00 dollar listing price. However, the ERGO Baby Carrier will only support an infant with the addition of an infant insert, sold separately for about $25.00 dollars. The Pikkolo has a minimum weight requirement of 8 pounds, without any additional inserts, therefore the ERGO actually ends up costing more if you plan on using it for your newborn. Also, the Pikkolo Baby Carrier offers 4 positions, front facing in, front facing out, hip carry, and back carry. While the ERGO only offers 3 positions, excluding the front facing out option. However, the ERGO Baby Carrier also includes a pocket for storage, while the Pikkolo has none.
In conclusion, both soft structured carriers are excellent choices. If you plan on using this carrier from birth, the ERGO Baby Carrier will cost more with the addition of the infant insert, but you also get a storage pocket. If you prefer to have a baby carrier that offers the front facing out position, as well as costs a little bit less, and you're willing to give up the storage on the ERGO, the Pikkolo Soft Structured Carrier is for you.
