The ErgoBaby Baby Carrier will allow you to carry your baby:

• On your front
• On your back
• On your hip
• From newborn to around 4 plus years

With the addition of the infant insert (available separately), it can be used from newborn right the way to heavy pre-schoolers, meaning you only need to buy one baby sling.  I carried my daughter until she was well over 4 1/2 years old for up 2 hours at a time.

A key feature of the ErgoBaby Baby Carrier is its design - unlike some other baby carriers, it holds your baby in the anatomically correct position, so your baby is "seated" in the carrier rather than suspended from it.  Studies have shown that this is better for the development of your baby's spine as it does not put undue pressure on developing bones.

For the parent, the Ergo is comfortable even for long carries and can be quickly adjusted to fit from 5' to 6'5" so it adapts well in families where the the parents have different body shapes or sizes.

Benefits:

• One of the most adaptable carriers and can be used from in front, hip and back positions
  
• The Ergo is a hands free carrier, meaning you can snuggle your baby and still have the freedom to play with older siblings, do the house work or go for a walk
  
• With the infant insert, it can be used from birth, so you only need to buy one sling
  
• Balance the baby’s weight so you can comfortably carry for long periods without physical stress
  
• Allows you to breastfeed when carrying on your front
  
• Is easily adjusted to fit both parents (though taller/larger daddies may prefer the Ergo Sport)
  
• Has attached sleep hood for when baby falls asleep
  
• Is machine washable
  
• No heavy metal frame to add weight and dig in

Features:

• Ergonomic design
  
• Made from durable yet comfortable cotton poplin lining and hood
  
• 100% cotton batting in body of carrier to soften edges
  
• One inch, high density foam in shoulder straps
  
• Quarter inch high density neoprene foam in waist belt
  
• High Quality buckles tested by SGS
  
• Waist belt circumference from 25" to 43"
  
• Fits from 5' to 6'5" body height with adjustable shoulder and chest straps
  
• Sleeping hood with elastic, adjusts in length to growth of baby
  
• High quality webbing, matched to carrier colour
  
• Reinforcement stitching used at all fabric intersections
  
• Interior rip-stop reinforcements at critical intersections
  
• Durability/strength tested up to 90 pounds
  
• Machine Washable - cold, gentle cycle

Carry positions:

The ERGObaby Carrier enables you to carry your child in front, on your back, or on your hip, thus giving you and your child freedom of movement as well as the closeness your child needs.

Newborn:
With the addition of the infant insert, you can carry your newborn from day one in a gentle, secure snuggle position

Front position:
From around 4 months, you can carry your baby sitting up, facing you.  Babies love to be close to their parent and to receive eye-to-eye contact and sitting in this position makes them feel supported and protected, essential to a baby’s mental and social development.

Back position:
As soon as the neck of your child is strong enough to support the head for any length of time, your child can be carried on your back. When going for a walk, shopping, or every day just at home - your child is by your side, or rather: on your back. This gives you more freedom in everyday life, and at the same time strengthens the vital mother-child-relationship or father-child-relationship.

Hip position:
This position is perfect for the temporary carriage of bigger children since your child can see everything and have close body contact at the same time. Carrying a child on your hip is the most natural way to carry a child and makes the anatomically correct natural sitting position possible.

Health and wellbeing

The ERGObaby Carrier ensures carriage in the anatomically correct natural sitting position. This position avoids bruising the genitalia or straining the baby's spine, which can arise with baby carriers that do not guarantee a anatomically correct natural sitting position. The ERGObaby Carrier is NOT designed for the front position with the baby facing outwards since, in this position, the anatomically correct natural sitting position is not possible and there are additional negative aspects.

Comments from our customers:

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the ergo carrier and infant insert. I tried it for the first time today when I took my 3 week old baby girl to the doctor's office and it's super comfortable on and she seems to love being in it!!! I'm even wearing it at home to rock her to sleep and so I can have both hands free to do things!

Thank you again!

Thank you very much for arranging to send me a replacement of the bag, it IS a great bag. :-)

Also, I would like to let you know that I tried the Ergo baby carrier I ordered last night, it's amazing! I had a Baby Bjorn one, which looks very posh but it hurts my shoulders and back a lot and I don't think my baby feels comfortable in it either. This Ergo carrier supports the baby so well and the weight is evenly distributed so I think I can wear it for a long walk. I would recommend this to all my mother-to-be friends.

I'm also so glad that I ordered the Sucking Pads to go with the carrier, for the first thing my baby did in the carrier was sucking the straps. :-)

Many thanks.

Best regards.

Just wanted to say thank you for the incredibly fast delivery of my Ergo Sport.  My sister recommended your company and it's absolutely fantastic.  Thank you so much.  I shall be giving you details to as many friends as possible!!

Kind regards

The Ergo arrived this morning and it's fantastic!  I don't know why I waited so long to get it - my baby is five months old and the Bjorn was getting very uncomfortable, but she weighs nothing in the Ergo and is blissfully happy in it.

Thank you!

yours,
