Let the Performance Begin

MAUI, HI -- July 15, 2010 -- Today marks the launch of the newest design of the popular ERGObaby carrier - the Performance.

The ERGObaby Performance carriers are made for babies, moms and dads that are active and love to be outside in almost any climate. The ERGObaby Performance carriers feature a high-performance polyester exterior, ideal for outdoor activities in all climates; a breathable mesh lining, keeping babies and parents cooler and more comfortable; and a CoolMax panel for extra moisture absorption and protection. This sleek, streamlined design offers a smooth, supportive fit for parents and babies of most sizes, and, as with all ERGObaby Carriers, can be used to carry babies from newborn to toddler on the back, front, and hip positions. Of course, like every other ERGObaby Carrier, ERGObaby's Performance line supports the correct ergonomic position for both babies and parents.

"I am thrilled to bring the Performance to the families of the world," says Karin Frost, President and Designer of ERGObaby. "This carrier is an exciting and innovative addition to a line of products that helps support and educate families on the myriad benefits of Babywearing."

Available in Grey and Spring Green
