Ergo Performance Carrier by Ergo Baby

The Ergo Baby Carrier took the babywearing world by storm. Even though the market was full of slings and pouches and backpacks, Ergo Baby offered parents a design that made carrying babies and toddlers so much easier and more comfortable. Now, Ergo Baby has come out with a new version that’s sure to be a hit.

The Ergo Performance Baby Carrier features a super durable yet lightweight fabric. Not only is the high-performance material great for all activities, but it’s even better than the original Ergo Baby during the warmer months. We love the breathable mesh liner that keep babies dry and comfortable, as well as the CoolMax panel that provides extra wicking properties.

The Ergo Performance 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 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).

Babywearing, carrying your child in a baby carrier, is in. Pediatricians, psychologists, and your big sister will tell you that it 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 slings and 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. It’s both soothing and enlightening for a baby to piggyback on Mom’s and Dad’s routines in a baby carrier, 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.
