The ERGO Baby Carrier

We’re a big baby wearing family and our new favorite baby carrier is the ERGO.

Having three children, one of them a baby… you have to have baby carrier. For a long time we  used simple slings or wraps. I remember carrying Jaden all around San Francisco for 4 days in a Maya Wrap when she was 27 months old.  After long, Carrie started to dislike using slings because it hurt her neck and shoulder too bad and wraps can sometimes feel overwhelming to wrap.  Once we got to Eugene, Carrie introduced me to the ERGO Baby Carrier.

The ERGO Baby Carrier is like a Baby Bjorn except the ERGO is much more versatile because it has multiple carrying positions. You can wear your baby in front of you, in a cradle position for a new born (additional Infant Insert sold separately), on your back, and on the hip. I think it is so much more comfortable to wear than a sling… especially for long periods of time.  I think what I like most is they are so versatile. They are somewhat outdoorsy looking but we also keep a hand made Mei Tai on hand for our special occasions.

We  bought our Organic Cotton ERGO Baby Carrier in Cranberry from Bambini, a local baby store here in Eugene, OR.
