Four Years and Counting!

Keala and ERGO, four years old!The ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc. embarks upon our fourth year of business since Karin Frost gave birth to her son, Keala, and set out to design the ideal carrier and to make carrying a baby a pleasure. From that initial carrier, sewn on her own machine, the ERGO is now distributed in sixteen countries and twenty-six states in the United States. The original carrier, “The Classic”, evolved into “The New Generation” that was successfully launched June 6, 2005 along with new accessories. Our company is enjoying a remarkable response from the Baby Wearing and Attachment Parenting communities and we are dedicated to continuing to serve those rapidly expanding movements.

As our president and designer, Karin has led the company in our commitment to extending the product line and to excellent customer service. We now have fulfillment warehouses in Los Angeles, CA and Copenhagen, Denmark. This enables us to continue to fill our orders in a timely fashion and to maintain a much larger inventory. This assures both our International and Domestic customers that stock of the carriers and accessories will always be readily available. We are proud of our Fair Trade Practices with our factory. A statement can be viewed on our web site, www.ergobabycarrier.com.

We began marketing to the entertainment industry in late 2005 and the ERGO is on-line for product placement in T.V. shows such as “ER”. More placements will appear in 2006.

This year we are producing an instructional DVD to be included with each carrier shipped that will further aid parents in how to use the ERGO in its variety of positions. In addition, we plan to have our web site translated into different languages as a benefit to the International community. Due to the increased volume of sales we are now implementing a bar coding system for our wholesale customers.

Our staff has grown considerably to a team of dedicated employees. We hope you enjoy this picture of the people who make the ERGO the fantastic success that it is. Testimonials continue to pour in on a daily basis. The most recent is this one from Dr. Bridie Cullnane, a Chiropracter in Australia.
