ERGObaby Carrier: Carry Me Home!

ERGObaby in front and back carries

If you wear your baby as much as I do or simply have a heavy baby, you’re going to love the ERGObaby Carrier ($105). Choose from three different ways to wear your child — either a front, back or hip carry. The ergonomic design puts the baby into a correct sitting position for hip, pelvis and spine growth — no hanging from the crotch like other front carriers. It’s also way more ergonomic for the parent as the baby’s weight is balanced onto the parent’s hips and shoulders instead of just the shoulders. It’s also one-size-fits-almost-all as the wide waist belt adjusts from 25 to 43 inches and the shoulder straps can accomodate parents from 5′ to 6′6".

Several improvements have recently been made to the design. In this new version, the chest straps are now permanently attached to the shoulder straps — this way the chest straps are kept in the desired location for buckling and don’t slide all around when not in use. The hood straps (to protect the baby’s head from the sun or cold) are now shorter and snap directly onto the shoulder straps. The hood has elastic on the sides and cups around the baby’s head. Organic and regular cotton fabrics are available in a variety of colors.  Other features include soft padded shoulder straps and a front pocket with a side zipper pocket.
