Ergo weight limit? How come the ergo is strength and durability tested up to 90lb but their recommend only using it to 40lb?

90lbs on your front or back is a lot of weight regardless of any testing. I think the 40lb recommendation is to cover liability in case someone tries to sue because they shoved their 5 year old kid in it.

Tammy, Thanks for the inquiry. The adult-sized ErgoErgo has been tested to support 250 pounds.

Can't help you with the official limit, but we have adult men use this all the time (~200 lbs) without issue. Note that we also spent considerable $$ on high end line and hardware. Everything is stainless and rated over 250 lbs limit. It doesn't help to have a pulley rated at 500 lbs only to buy a cheap cable clip that will rust and be rated far lower than the pulley. We have been very pleased with this product after 2yrs. The finger brake is great.

Also baby bjorn is ten timesEasier to snap on than ergo. Overall, this was a great carrier for up to 20 lbs, after that it was too hard on shoulders and switched to ergo. But for short outings it will be fine up to 25lbs. Right now my son is 23 lbs at 16 months so you can see how long this will last. Ergo can last past 2 yrs and is better for baby sleeping. My son always fallsAsleep in ergo not so much bjorn as feet are always moving and dangling.

There typically is not a weight limit to these strapz, they are made to be strong and durable and could most likely pull a car. A well constructed door way can also withstand a substantial amount of weight. I am a trainer as well and for safety reasons I suggests if you are over 350LBS to wait until you have lost some body fat before using the product. Under 350Lbs you may still use the bands but to have limited use of the power strapz. If your trainer is certified in TRX suspension training then he can show you a variety of exercises that can be done safely with little force on the bands. Note: I am not an expert in the way the power strapz are made but that is my honest opinion.

Didn't read about a weight limit but I have put 90lbs on it already. Hope this helps!

There is no advertised weight limit that I could find but I am about 220lbs and it doesn't even shake, it is a very sturdy piece of equipment.

THere is no way for me to tell you a max weight. But, I own the product and it is truly a fairly well made, heavy duty construction. I would never hesitate to buy this for someone - all steel construction.

The product comes with no weight-limit guide. I would not haul more than 40 pounds weight over lawn (e.g., a large potting soil bag, a small concrete mix bag). It is labeled as unsafe for "giving rides" to children or pets. For seating, it should hold up to 225 pounds OK, but only for stationary use. The wheels are probably the weakest parts.

The information in the package didn't mention a weight limit. I weigh 132 lbs., and my husband is 213 lbs., and we both use it with no difficulty. I really like this product.

I had to trade in the regular ergo for something with a larger waste strap. The Ergo Performance has about 5" longer strap than the regular one. Go to a store and try them on to see if they're comfortable. Ergo is a big investment but well worth it if it fits right. They also offer a waste strap extension but I feel it should be comfortable as is.

My wife is the main user of this machine, and only weighs 110. I've had to set it up for her for some of the exercises, and used it occasionally myself, and I weigh 295. There hasn't been a problem, but I don't use it regularly.

I don't know if there's a weight limit. It will bend under extreme force. I weight 260 lbs and its handles my weight under normal use. I bent one earlier when I lost my balance when my dogs tripped me and I fell down. But for normal support they are fine.

The weight capacity is 5 - 15 lbs. See link to product sheet specs.http://www.ergotron.com/Portals/0/literature/productSheets/english/05-WorkFit-P.pdf

This is a conjecture but I'd guess 40 lbs would be the upper limit. Of course, it's more a matter of height, leg length and center of gravity than of weight

I don't know what the manufacturer says the weight limit is, but I use it at 195. Still sturdy. No wobbles. Now I'm not jumping on it or anything. Just sitting. Sometimes my dog hops on with me. She is about 35lbs. So together, we are over the 200 mark.

It says 50 but I had my 4 year old in it (40lbs) and it was like driving a tank through wet cement. I wouldn't recommend over 30 lbs max.
