Ergo Baby Carrier

The Ergo Baby Carrier disperses most of the baby's weight between her hips and thighs, and helps to eliminate compression of the spine. Parents tell us their kids are so happy in the Ergo Baby that they often go right to sleep. It is also great for your poor back. The Ergo Baby Carrier was designed so that you support your baby’s weight with your hips and shoulders. While other baby carriers can strain your body, the Ergo Baby features a wide and padded waist band that provides exceptional lower back support, much like those support bands that movers and weight-lifters use. Couple this unique support band on the Ergo Baby with the super padded shoulder straps, and you have one exceptional baby carrier. The Ergo Baby is also versatile. Whereas a Baby Bjorn baby carrier can only be worn on the front, the Ergo Baby can be worn on the front, the side, and even the back (once the baby is about six months old and has the proper neck control).

The baby carrier is made of a soft, brushed cotton, and is available in a variety of colors. You can even pop your Ergo Baby into the washing machine. Also, there is a small Velcro-sealed carry pocket sewn into the waist section and a cloth "sleeping hood" tucked into a large pocket at the back of your baby carrier. This cloth supports your baby's head when she falls asleep.

Babywearing, carrying your baby in a baby carrier, is in. Pediatricians, psychologists, and your big sister will tell you that a baby carrier can be just the trick to a happier baby. Babywearing helps satisfy both your baby’s and your own need for closeness and affection. She will feel calm and secure when she is snuggled up against you in her baby carrier and listening to your heartbeat. Can you blame her? It’s like getting a nice long hug from the person you love most. 

But don’t forget that this isn’t just a passing trend. Parents all over the world, since the beginning of time, have used different kinds of baby slings and other baby carriers to keep baby nearby. History shows that this is a natural and instinctive practice for parents and our modern studies show that babies cry less when worn or held in a baby carrier. It’s both soothing and enlightening for a baby to piggyback on Mom’s and Dad’s routines, feeling safe and loved while she learns all about her new world. So, find a great baby carrier, give that stroller a little rest, and discover how rewarding it is to wear your baby as you go about your day.

With this revived babywearing trend has come many new models of baby carriers and baby slings. The Ergo Baby Carrier is one of the best of the bunch. It was designed by Karin Frost, a mom from Hawaii who wanted to design a better kind of baby carrier. The result is the Ergo Baby Carrier with its ergonomic (yep, that’s where that name comes from) design to support a correct sitting position for the baby's proper hip, pelvis and spine growth. Parents caught on right away and the Ergo Baby has become one of our most popular baby carriers.

Suggested washing instructions: Use mild detergent on a gentle cycle in the washer and dry until your baby carrier's seams are slightly damp. Spot wash when needed and do not wash frequently. Frequent washing and harsh detergents can cause 100% cotton to break down faster.
