Dear Ergo Baby!

Here is a photo of my toddler Samuel and me in Ravenna, Italy.  My husband was enrolled in the mosaic school there, and I spent the days visiting the sites around town with our 19-month old son in the ERGObaby carrier.  I couldn't have done it any other way, because he is such a big boy; he weighed 25 lbs at 6 months and 35 lbs at 18 months.  Our spirited child is happiest on my back, where he watches the surroundings and we interact with each other even more and he certainly experiences less "no"s.  We are currently stationed in
Germany, and I have to tell you

Hats off to the newly updated ERGObaby carrier. This is one of the original soft-structured carriers and they have succeeded in improving on their already brilliant design. If you are new to the ERGObaby, you are going to love the sturdy, comfortable design. This carrier is secure enough to use with my small infant in the front and yet comfortable enough for my toddler to ride on my back for extended periods of time. It has a shorter rise than some of the other soft-structured carriers on the market which allows the baby more freedom.

If you are already a fan of the ERGObaby, here is what they have improved. First of all the hood is wonderful. It is contoured with elastic on each side to really cup a larger child’s sleeping head. Also, the hood uses snaps instead of Velcro to close, much easier keep a sleeping child asleep when removing the carrier. Second, the pocket in front is fantastic. It zips on the side, is easily accessible, is made of loose fabric so your items do not jab into your baby’s back and is large enough to carry a diaper and your keys and wallet. Very convenient. Third, the chest clip adjusts along a track on each strap which means that the clip stays in place each time you wear it.

This is hands down a wonderful soft-structured carrier. Without reservation, I once again highly recommend the new, improved ERGObaby.

I was skeptical that any carrier would support the weight of my 30 lb. toddler without some serious strain on my back. The ERGObaby carrier is amazing! It was designed by a mom unable to find a carrier that fit her needs. My son slept hours in the carrier as I walked through the city without pain or strain on my back and shoulders. I am excited to use this carrier for future trips.

Dear ERGObaby,

I wanted to share this picture of my husband carrying our 9 mos. old, Tristan. Tristan loves the ERGObaby carrier!! He will usually fall asleep wherever we go while being carried around! We've had it since birth and he took to it instantly. The ERGObaby is very easy to put on, and makes shopping and household chores a breeze! We take it with us everywhere. This picture was taken on New Year's Day after a walk in the snow. My husband really enjoys carrying our son around in the ERGObaby. We are planning a trip to Maui and know it will be the perfect carrier to have while visiting. We get a lot of compliments when wearing it!! It's GREAT for both Mom and Dad!!!! We highly recommend this product!   THX.  :)

Kind regards,

The Quigleys

(I) wanted to send a quick note of thanks for the amazing product!!  My youngest has been in a sling his whole life (six months!), and we just got an ERGObaby!  It is so incredible, We love it!  With the sling, I found my posture to be lacking.  I was often hunched over...with the ERGObaby, my shoulders are back and I am upright again!!  Even my 6 year old daughter got a chance to try wearing her wee brother....I have enclosed some pics for you to enjoy!!

Thanks!

Vicki
