Baby Stories

Luckily, we now have the ERGObaby carrier

08-04-14t:04:z

My two year old and my 7 month old keep me busy these days, so thank goodness for the ERGObaby carrier. Our double stroller is so big and cumbersome that I rarely use it. With my older daughter, I tried a few baby carriers but none of them seemed comfortable (or safe) for either of us. Luckily, we now have the ERGObaby carrier for my son and this allows me to keep on the go with both of them and my back doesn’t suffer for it. I also love the “hood” feature, as the sun is strong here in Arizona and this gives our baby some extra protection. As you can tell by the photos, he feels very comfortable in it and loves taking a nap against my chest.

Thanks,

Karen (Scottsdale, AZ)

I wasted a lot of money on other products that just didn’t work

I just bought your ERGObaby carrier for my 3 month old – second child. My only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner. I wasted a lot of money on other products that just didn’t work and are now at Goodwill. It works for my son and my 2-year-old daughter. I absolutely love it. Thank you!!!

The Ergo is the single most important parenting tool I have used!

The Ergo is the single most important parenting tool I have used! I have been able to renovate my house with my son on my back and he is part of the process! He is happy on my back and I am able to carry him as much as he needs and still get lots done!

The ERGObaby carrier has been excellent.

I have an ERGObaby carrier and think it is great

I have a 10 min rough uphill climb every day from our island (with one house on it WWW.DRYISLAND.CO.UK) over a floating bridge over the Atlantic. Then along rocks, then up steps up the cliff to our car park on the mainland. I do this at least once a day.

The ERGObaby carrier has been excellent.

I bought it from you when my bushbaby front carrier got too small. For our next baby, however, I

]]> will just use the ERGObaby carrier from the beginning. Much cheaper and will get the baby and me used to it from day one.

2 points. It would be so great if the sleeping hood was waterproof. Also although I appreciate cotton is good for hot countries a quicker drying fabric for Scottish Highlands would be great!

ERGO has been great on our recent holiday to Madeira. Carried her many miles in great comfort and also used it as a harness to keep her safe and still on public buses and as a high chair in cafes. Another great thing as it folds up small put it at the bottom of the buggy so always handy and can use as changing mat and as a mat to sit on for picnic for her. Even better, unlike large more expensive framed carriers, you can pack ERGO in hand luggage so don't have to pay to check it in.

Have attached some photos

Best of all the ERGObaby carrier has been a life saver......

08-04-04t:04:z

I have an ERGObaby carrier and I love it sooo much! I have traveled all over with my son thanks to this baby carrier. I would love to share ERGObaby with all the parents that I know and recommend the carrier to them since it has been one of the best things that I bought for my son and family.

We live between Argentina, Brazil and California (work via the Internet). I have used the carrier to hike with our little one, to clean the house, and to get through the airport and customs. Best of all the ERGObaby carrier has been a life saver on long beach walks and hikes through the jungle. THANK YOU!

Our spirited child is happiest on my back!

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

]]> that at least 8 other army moms in just our two buildings recently bought the ERGObaby Carrier. It's a hit here! With our warriors gone so much, we have to be able to function while they are away, and the ERGObaby Carrier helps us get out of the house and experience Europe.

Thank you for making our lives easier and more enjoyable!!

Warmest regards,

Natalie

P.S. I told two other (more attractive) young army moms that they should send you a photo for your annual calendar, so hopefully you will get those sometime!

I forgot to tell you that the green thing attached to my ERGObaby carrier is a bike bell!! It's painted to look like a green frog, and my son enjoys ringing the bell! It's fun to watch the people in front of us move to the side when they think we're a bike approaching. :)

Hats off to the newly updated ERGObaby carrier

08-03-19t:03:z

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.

The ERGObaby carrier is amazing!

08-03-12t:03:z

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,

I wanted to send a quick note!

08-03-04t:03:z

(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!

My 5 month old will be riding 4000 miles in a carrier across America on a peace walk. www.longestwalk.org

I carried my 4 year old on this same walk 2 yrs ago in an ERGObaby carrier. This carrier has tears and is very warn so I don’t think it will make it for another walk. I would like to get another ERGObaby, however I am short on money due to airfare etc for the walk. I am curious if you have any damaged, used or returned carriers that you could sell at a discounted price? It would be a great help. Thanks so much.

Aloha from the big island

I wanted to tell you how fantastic I think the Ergo Baby Carrier is.

08-02-27t:02:z

Hi,

I wanted to tell you how fantastic I think the Ergo Baby Carrier is. Michael, my son, has been happily riding around in it since he was 5 months old. He is now 13 months old and has recently started enjoying the back carry position. A couple of weeks ago we toured the north of England on vacation and took about 400 photos. My friend reliably informed me that Michael was pictured in the Ergo in at least 300 of them! We went to so many places that would have been impossible with a pushchair and Michael charmed everybody by playing peekaboo over my shoulders. Here is a photo of Michael, my husband and I at Hadrian's Wall.

Thank you so much!

I knew when I watched your instructional videos that this was the carrier for me.

Dear ERGObaby USA;

My name is JoAnn and I live in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. My daughter, Elaina, is now 11 months old and I wanted to take the time to write and thank you for making this amazing baby carrier. I knew when I watched your instructional videos that this was the carrier for me. What I didn't realize was how integral it would become in our daily lives; providing an opportunity to stay connected with my daughter while experiencing the freedom to accomplish tasks both in and outside of our home.

]]> We've been using the ERGObaby since Elaina was 3 months old and we recently returned from a 3-week vacation in South America. While I was amazed at the use I already got out of your carrier, I was pleasantly surprised to see how handy it was to get around the airports amid all of our luggage and with touring the beautiful landscapes of Chile. Friends, family, and even complete strangers are amazed at the length of time and the type of activities both my husband and I can do with her in the carrier without feeling any discomfort (i.e. from walking, hiking, boat touring to climbing, salsa dancing, etc.).

Thank you ERGObaby USA. My daughter is becoming a happy, healthy (yes, I've conveniently nursed her in it too), secure little person thanks in large part to your carrier and the use we've gotten out of it to date. This has fast become my number one choice for baby shower gifts for new parents!

Kind regards and thanks to Karin Frost and her development team!

We love your product and use it all the time

Hello:

Since you have a photo gallery, I just wanted to 
share some photos of my husband carrying my son 
in the ERGObaby at Huntington Gardens. He is 
sleeping with the hood attached. I like using the 
hood because it helps him relax and sleep longer.

We love your product and use it all the time. Our 
son comes with us to the grocery store, park, 
beach, walks, shopping, you name it: all without 
the hassles of having to maneuver a stroller.

Best,

Zekiye Selvili
