Counterfeit vs. Real ErgoBaby Weight Comparison

Counterfeit vs. Real ErgoBaby Omni 360 Weight Comparison

Just a simple way to separate real from fake! I found between this and the hologram on the box (or lack thereof), is the easiest way to discern real from fake. The fakes appear to be very well-made (at least mine was).

Real : Forrest Green

Fake: Pale Blue

Freight Scales:

Real: 850 grams

Fake: 700 grams

Kitchen Scales:

Real: 837 grams

Fake: 683 grams

If you are buying second hand and unsure, might pay to pack the baking scales.

Where did you get the fake one? That is so terrifying.

I wouldn't call it terrifying, it was annoying though. From Ebay.

I will avoid buying 2nd hand Ergos. Too many fakes for this brand.
