There is no better feeling than holding your baby close!

October 12, 2010 By 2 Comments

The ERGObaby carriers have found their way to the boutique.

Using the ERGObaby carrier gives you continuous connection, fabulous feeling of freedom, and security knowing your baby is safe.

This is the all-in-one soft baby carrier, assisting you through all the stages of your baby’s growth and moving from front to hip to back position easily.

Parents tell us the ERGObaby carrier is the best of all the baby carriers on the market. It was designed by Karin Frost and has undergone extensive testing by tens of thousands of parents. Its innovative design makes wearing your baby comfortable for hours at a time, gives you the freedom to remain active and productive in your daily life, and holds your baby secure to your body so you are HandsFree.

ERGObaby’s baby carrier design supports a natural sitting position for babies, eliminating compression of the spine and hips that can be caused by unsupported suspension. The baby carrier also balances the baby’s weight to parents’ hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.

So who has an ERGO?  And what is so great about it?  I have personally never used one, but am interested in what everyone has to  say about them.  I have heard nothing but good things about them!  Anyone interested in doing a customer review of one for the blog?  If so, leave a comment.  (You would be rewarded in mama dollars for our mama reward program which will be introduced by the end of the year.)

They come in great colors, and I love the fact that they have an organic option.  I also like that it allows you to wear your baby on your back.  I think the green one will soon be finding its way to my house.
