Ergo Baby Carrier – not only hands free but pain free baby carrying!

One of our out and out absolute favourite products is the Ergo Baby carrier. I bought this when my first child was 4 months old – mainly so I could walk the dog on beach! But seeing as she was a total koala and insisted on being on my hip all the time the Ergo carrier really came into its own round the house. I’d use the carrier in the hip position at home – my little girl loved being on my hip while I was in the kitchen preparing meals.  She mostly loved the front position while we were out and about and I really enjoyed the close contact with her. 

When Euan was born I used the infant insert and loved the fact that I could be out and about and still able to discreetly breastfeed Euan when he was little. As soon as Euan could walk I didn’t carry him much as he wanted to walk everywhere but the Ergo carrier was without a doubt one of the most essential items we took on our trip round Australia. We did lots walking – around the base of Uluru, through Kings Canyon, Katherine Gorge, through gorges in the Kimberleys, along the amazing beaches of Western Australia – too many places to mention. Without it we would have missed out on so much. My husband always wore the carrier – on Euan insisting! He found it really comfortable and could walk for hours (or as long as Euan could bear to be contained). We found the Ergo carrier so much easier to use than those backpack type carriers with a frame, you can just fold up the Ergo carrier and shove it your bag or have it in the back of the car.

Throughout June (or until stocks last) we have a sale on Ergo baby carriers find out more here, we do have limited colours but just get in touch and we can sort out other colours and styles (not at sale prices). 

What do I love the most about the Ergo baby carrier?

•   It’s totally hands free – no need to support baby like you do in many slings
•   It has 3 positions – the front, back and hip positions make it so versatile
•   Makes baby (and toddler) carrying easy – with the weight carried on your hips you don’t have to break your back!
