Baby Stories

Two and half years later and with two ERGObaby carriers in the house, we couldn't be happier! My husband and I firmly believe that the ERGObaby is perfect for...

Back problems...

The harness system allows for fantastic load distribution. Even with my lower back injury I have managed to carry my son and daughter for long periods of time with no complaints from my spine!

Big bubs...

My son was born a toddler, (9lb15oz) and was and still is a tall boy - even now at 3 years and 18 kilos we can still give him a piggy back when his legs are too tired to walk!

Getting out and about...

Our carriers are with us at all times, we use them when we're out walking, at public events and on shopping trips. When I'm on my own they allow me to carry my 6 month old daughter and push my 3 year old in the pram, or vice versa.

Traveling...

The carriers have had their passports stamped in Thailand and New Zealand, with a trip to Tasmania (Australia) in between. Late night or early morning flights, check ins, boarding, moving around the plane and disembarking are all a breeze with the ERGObaby! Even 4 hours shopping in Bangkok's Chinatown wasn't a problem for us, my son (15 months at the time) smiled and charmed everyone from his vantage point (on the front or back) and my husband and I enjoyed a great day of spending too much money as Stirling made new friends with everyone he met!

Sickness...

There is nothing like a cuddle to help settle kiddies. The ERGObaby carrier has helped me get through a few bad days when my not-so-small son needed comforting, I basically needed to use the carrier to save my arms from giving in to fatigue! And just this week my little girl had to stay home from day-care due to a virus, but unfortunately being a working Mum, my workload was mounting so I had to work at home for the day. However, Elora was more than happy to cuddle into her ERGObaby carrier, and we were both smiling at the end of a couple of hours - she was feeling better and I had managed to tick off a few jobs from my 'to do list'!

3 sitting options...

We use all three! We liked to use the hip option before my son could walk, sitting him to the side when we shopped and cooked. Even now he is happy to fall asleep on his Dad's shoulder when he's having a piggy back.

Anyone in your family can use it...

Nan, Aunty and Uncles in our families have all carried our kiddies, with nothing but smiles all round!

Ergo Carriers should be on every new parents must have list.
