Why Buy the Ergo?

The Ergo Baby Carrier is a:

• comfortable front, back and hip baby carrier
• suitable for newborns and wonderful right on up through toddlerhood
• ergonomic so you don't have any back, neck, or shoulder pain
• symmetrical so you don't throw yourself out of alignment

The Ergo Baby Carrier is the best baby carrier I have ever used.

The weight is supported on your hips so you don't get tired even after hours of wearing a heavy toddler. For about the same price, you could buy a front carrier that only supports the baby on your upper back. By the time your baby is a few months old, your back muscles will be sore and aching even after very short wearings. Most people wrongly assume that a baby is too heavy to be worn at this point. This is simply not the case! Try the Ergo Baby Carrier and you will be thrilled to find you can carry your baby for years, not months!

Also, if you are interested in nursing your baby in the Ergo Baby Carrier, all you need to do is loosen the shoulder straps and pick a side! There is no learning curve to hands-free nursing in the Ergo. Make sure to take the time to set up your Ergo Baby Carrier correctly for comfort and ease of use.

The Ergo Baby Carrier is simple to use a back carrier and practical for both hiking and shopping.

It is equally at home in the city, country, suburbs or woods. And it is going to save your butt if you find yourself on that dream vacation in Italy where the roads are not stroller friendly or in the mall with a fussy baby that you just can't put down. I have honestly forgotten about my baby on my back and I don't just mean once. She is so content up there, viewing the world from a secure vantage point. Toss your shopping in your stroller and enjoy the mall with a happy baby.

The Ergo Baby Carrier is more comfortable than a sling as a hip carrier because the baby's weight is supported on your hips. I found this position a life saver when my daughter was feverish and clingy one hot day. It was just too hot to have her up against my chest but she would not go on my back. Thank goodness that the Ergo Baby Carrier converted to a hip carrier! I was able to get just a little distance between us while still tending to her need to be close to me.

The Ergo Baby Carrier is the only baby can be used from newborn right on through to toddlerhood. With the addition of the newborn insert, your baby can be held in an upright position. I found it critical to have my littles upright when they were fussy.

I use my Ergo Baby Carrier daily to carry my two year old and I don't see stopping any time soon. I find it indispensable in so many situations.

How, for example, is one to carry something if the child is in a stroller?

Walk a dog?

It just can't be done. I honestly don't know what other people do in these situations I so often find myself. I spent a month in New York City with my daughters and it was so wonderful to have the Ergo Baby Carrier. I definitely did not like trying to get a stroller up and down subway stairs the few times I used it. It is so bulky and awkward. I never use my stroller at home except to carry groceries.

When shopping, my daughter generally is best on my back so she is not into the stuff I'm buying and not racing around the store. If she were in a stroller, where would I put my shopping? If she's in the cart, she's really a handful. I could go on and on but I am sure you can think of situations where it would be handy to have your baby calmer and content.

One last one - at someone's house that is distinctly not child-friendly. You're gonna be there a while and it's exhausting to monitor every little thing your child touches. After my daughter gets overstimulated for a while, I am usually able to wear her for a while until she calms back down.

The Ergo Baby Carrier's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby's weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch which most other designs require. The Ergo also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.
