We love denim, especially when your favourite jeans fit perfectly! There is almost no other piece of clothing that fits so comfortably to spend your day in. And now you can get that feeling for your baby carrier too. A little bonus: You're also doing something for your ecological footprint! Because Ergobaby has teamed up with the New Denim Project®, a sustainable design lab in Guatemala, to create the Ergobaby Omni Dream Denim. The ultra-soft design of our popular baby carrier is made from 100% upcycled denim fabric, helping to reduce waste in the textile industry and conserve important resources on our planet.
The first Ergobaby baby carrier made from 100% cotton denim.
The New Denim Project®, a family-run design lab in Guatemala City, promotes an environmentally conscious approach to fashion production. They are committed to transforming our economy from a linear system to a circular system.
What does that look like?

Going on holiday with your baby is exciting but getting ready for a trip can feel more like work than vacation.
Travelling with baby can be intimidating, but it’s not impossible. The joys of discovering new places and the comfort of a hotel (where you don't have to clean or cook), walks on the beach can put your mind at rest and recharge your batteries.
That said, whether you’re getting to your destination by plane, train or automobile, you’ll still want to prepare to ensure your journey goes as smoothly as possible. Find out how our Ergobaby summer essentials can help you have a relaxing holiday with your baby.
What sort of accommodation to book on holiday with your baby?
The best way to travel with your baby will depend on time, location and budget - so take some time to work out what suits your family best.
Package holidays offer you the comfort of not having to worry about drinks and meal preparation when you book half-board or all-inclusive. Many family-friendly hotels also have a

Have you ever tried a baby carrier and not really felt comfortable in it? Did it pinch, squeeze or maybe even hurt? Was your back tense? Or the carrier just felt too big for your shoulders? If any of these are the reason why you have decided against a baby carrier, we are here to help and ensure you are comfortable. There is a suitable baby carrier for everyone, and more often than not the correct adjustment of your baby carrier is what decides whether it feels good or uncomfortable. So let our Midwife and Babywearing Consultant Katrin Ritter take you on a journey into the world of baby carriers and explain how you can adjust a baby carrier correctly.
Where to start, a wrap or baby carrier?
For all babywearing beginners, we would like to make a brief distinction between the different carriers. There are wraps, such as our Ergobaby Aura, which are tied around your body to carry your little one. Baby carriers, which include our Ergobaby Embrace, Omni Breeze, Omni Dream, Adapt or Aerloom -

Yaaay, your first family holiday with your baby! Travelling with a baby is a whole new experience, and it can be pretty daunting, but we are here to help! With the right preparation you can limit the turbulence of your first flight with baby. We have summarised the most commonly asked questions and answers to give you all the information you need for flying with a baby.
When can I fly with my baby for the first time?
It's probably sooner than you think. According to Baby Center, most airlines will insist that your baby is at least two weeks old but depending where you live and where you are flying to there are no standard regulations, so it's best to check with your airline before you book. Some airlines may ask you to provide a fit-to-fly letter from your doctor if your baby is less than two weeks old.
If you gave birth by caesarean section, you may need to wait until after your six-week postnatal check-up before you take to the skies. Even then, you should only fly when your GP gives

Do you wear your baby as often as possible? Us too! Did you know that you can wash a baby carrier? With frequent use, your baby carrier will probably go through the washing machine regularly. After all, stains and spills are standard for the course with babies - milk goes astray, nappies leak and don’t even start us on spit up!
Washing your baby carrier more often is not a bad thing, after all, our Ergobaby baby carriers are durable and long-lasting. Otherwise, we wouldn't have our 10-year ErgoPromise limited Lifetime guarantee. Nevertheless, some of the fabric fibres will come off with every wash. This is true not only for our baby carriers, but for all garments that you wash.
This means that tiny fibres of microplastic can end up in the waste water every time you wash your clothes and baby carrier in your washing machine. And that can add up! According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), between 200,000 and 500,000 tonnes of microplastics from textiles end up in the global marine

Baby wrap or newborn baby carrier? How to find the right baby carrier from birth onwards
You can hardly wait to finally hold your baby in your arms and carry them on your body as often as possible. That’s great news because babywearing has many advantages. A baby wrap or carrier is good for your baby's development, promotes your milk flow and makes breast/chest feeding easier if that’s how you choose to feed them.
If you want as much cuddly closeness with your baby in the fourth trimester, baby wrap or an ergonomic newborn carrier may be ideal for you. Both are specially designed for the needs of newborn babies in the first months of life and leave as little fabric as possible between you and your child.
But how do they differ? And which baby carrier is the right one for you?

Stretchy wraps like our Aura are very popular because they are incredibly soft and don't take up much space when you're out and about. The wrap is so snug, it fits your body

A baby bouncer is a newborn essential item for everyday life with your little one. That's why we have developed our Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer together with a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. The Evolve baby bouncer gives you a safe space to keep your baby close, while you enjoy a moment or two hands-free around the home.
From a cosy newborn lounger, to a calming infant bouncer, and then a fun toddler seat the Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer is designed with ergonomics at the forefront for a perfect fit.
Thanks to the innovative removeable newborn insert, our bouncer is the first and only baby bouncer to be certified by the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. association (Campaign for Healthier Backs). We've really gone the extra mile to offer you ergonomics and comfort. However, none of this is of any use to us if you as parents are not satisfied with our product.
That's why we conducted an in-home blind "baby bouncer study" with 110 parents in the USA. For 30 days, the test families were able

Outward-facing babywearing used to be a controversial choice. We're going to shed some light on the topic and dispel some old myths. Concerns over comfort and safety date back to a time when there were no ergonomic baby carriers available, and the baby carriers used to allow baby‘s legs to dangle when carried.
With the invention of our Omni carriers, the ergonomic forward facing carry really shows what it can do. It makes parents' and carers’ everyday lives so much easier, promotes joint activity with your child in all environments and is very practical.
All of our baby carriers have been tested and certified by both the AGR (Aktion gesunder Rücken e.V.) campaign for healthier backs and the International Hip Dysplasia Institute offering you total peace of mind when it comes to ergonomic positioning in all carry positions.
Outward facing is no exception and as with any carrying position, there are a few things to consider so here is an overview of the most important facts about carrying

From the 8th to the 14th May 2023, we are celebrating European Babywearing Week, which is themed "Facets of Babywearing".
We know there are many reasons to carry your baby.
Simply because, anatomically speaking, it is the most natural place for a newborn to be.
It promotes the bond between parents/caregivers and child and at the same time strengthens trust.
You have your hands free to do the hundred (or thousand!) things you need to do in a day.
To stimulate the flow of milk and to breast/chest feed on the go if that’s how you feed your baby.
We could go on forever - but we want to ask you: why do you want to carry your baby?
Every family has their own personal reasons for carrying their baby. This has a lot to do with which baby carrier is right for you. For example, if your reason is that you want to be especially close to your baby in the fourth trimester (the first three months of life) - preferably skin to skin - then an Aura baby wrap or an Embrace baby carrier might be the best choice
