Why Choose The ERGO Baby Carrier?
There are numerous baby carriers and baby slings on
the market. The ERGO Baby Carrier, however, is
unique as it facilitates carrying your baby from
newborn (with the Infant Insert) until 4 years old. The
ergonomic design supports both you and your baby in
the most comfortable and healthy way possible.
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 and helps prevent
compression of the spine. The ERGO Baby carrier also
alleviates physical
stress for the parent by balancing
the baby’s weight to parents’ hips
and shoulders.

Care & Content
General Care
Use mild detergent on a gentle cycle in the washer
and dry until seams are slightly damp. Spot wash
when needed and do not wash frequently. Frequent
washing and harsh detergents can cause 100%
cotton to break down faster.

About the Fabric
100% cotton canvas, lining, and filling.
New 100% organic cotton carriers also available (including the linings, Infant Inserts
and Accessories) are certified by Control Union Certification (formerly
SKAL International).

Our Experience
We used a Baby Bjorn for several years, and while we really enjoyed it, we recently made the switch to an ERGO after trying one for the first time. The difference was amazing! The ERGO carrier is simply more comfortable for parents and better for babies and toddlers. The ERGO has a pouch area for baby's bottom, so they sit in a more natural position which is better for their spine growth. Plus, an ERGO is great for newborns and toddlers alike!
