Up against some tough competition, the parent judges awarded Gold to our compact Metro+ stroller
Here is what they had to say:
This pram is next level - super compact, super comfy.
Parent tester Bethny, who tested this with their 9 month old and 2 year old
Why it's a winner: The Ergobaby Metro+ is smart to look at and easy to push one-handed. It proved a big hit with our parent testers who loved the timeless design, durable materials, sturdy wheels and generous storage basket. The stroller comes in the box already set up and ready to go and is a breeze to fold and unfold one-handed. The Metro+ earned tester compliments such as “super compact”, “could not be lighter to carry” and “worth every single penny”. The pushchair seat itself is well-padded and fully reclines if your toddler wants to take a nap.
In the words of parent Bianca, who tested the Metro+ Stroller with their 6 month old:
“The handle bars are sturdy and the straps and buckles to secure the baby are fantastic quality;

To make Easter even more special this year why not treat your little one to an Ergobaby Doll Carrier so they can keep their favourite teddy or doll close. Every Ergobaby Doll Carrier in Clementine purchased between the 21st March until the 18th April 2022 will come with a special note that you can personalise for your little one directly from the Easter Bunny!
The Ergobaby Doll Carrier is the perfect way for children aged 18-months and older to join in with babywearing and show their best friend the love and comfort they had as a worn baby. It also leaves little hands free for other games or tasks, and with teddy less likely to be left behind when safely carried, hopefully means fewer tears too!

How to Choose the Right Baby Carrier for Your Family
Your baby carrier should sync with your lifestyle and personal style. So whether you’re an on-the-go outdoor adventure family or need a carrier for neighborhood walks and summer travels, your baby carrier needs to meet both yours and your baby’s needs.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Searching for the best baby carrier for you can be overwhelming when sorting through endless options on the internet — but what qualities should you be looking for exactly?
The four features that matter most when shopping for a baby carrier are:
Ergonomics
Comfort
Ease of Use
Functionality
Ergonomics
Your child’s health is and always should be your primary concern when shopping for a baby carrier. Your carrier should provide adequate support for your baby’s growing head, neck and back.
It should keep your baby in an upright position, meaning they are not slumped and their chin is off their chest, so airways are open, as well as high enough on your chest so you can

How to Set your Ergobaby Baby Carrier Up Out of the Box
So you've just received your brand spanking new (or delightfully preloved!) baby carrier... now what? First things first - safety! We'd love you to check out this blog: Safe Babywearing From The Beginning that outlines the T.I.C.K.S rules for babywearing. They only take a few minutes to read but are hugely important!
Then onto your carrier... of course all our carriers come with written instructions, and you can find video instructions here but here's our carrier by carrier guide to how to set your carrier up out the box.
Embrace
Our Embrace carrier is specially designed for newborn snuggles but it can be used for babies up to 11kg. Regardless of the age/height of your baby the carrier comes out the box ready to go as this carrier's adjustments are made as you put it on. For a newborn baby under 23 inches / 58.4cm long you will roll the waistband to shorten the panel and make it suitable for newborns (you can see how here

How to Ensure Your Carrier Lasts a Lifetime!
One of the greatest compliments we receive is when you tell us that your carrier is "three babies strong" or "ten years old and still going"! Not only do we love imagining all those family babies kept safe and close in our carrier but we also love knowing that parents can rely on our carriers too. To keep your carrier in tip top condition we recommend following our top tips below...
Use Teething Pads / Dribble Bib
Most babies, once they start teething, suck on the straps of the carrier. It’s right there, in perfect reach for tiny mouths and it's soft and squishy and satisfying... who can blame them? But... the PH of their saliva and the wear of tiny teeth can damage your carrier so we offer teething pads and dribble bibs to help protect your carrier from their cheeky chomping. It also saves on washing as all you have to do is pop the teething pads in the wash after baby has a major suck session!
Our patterned dribble bibs are compatible

What to Wear for Winter Babywearing!
A couple of months ago we shared our Top Five Tips for Winter Babywearing along with this handy Reel created for us by the brilliant @harrowslings. Now we thought we'd delve a little deeper and share our recommendations for exactly what to wear when babywearing during the winter months - for both parent and baby!
Dressing Baby
Layers
Overheating is the number one thing to avoid when dressing you and baby for winter babywearing. Start with fewer layers and add more if you feel baby is too chilly. When dressing baby, remember that your carrier counts as a layer of clothing and so do you. Your body temperature warms them up and if you wear a coat round you both or a winter weather cover this counts too! Where possible, two-piece outfits or footless bodysuits are best. Onesies can sometimes pull up at the crotch and therefore pull on their feet. And remember, if you go indoors at any point, you will need to remove layers to keep baby (and you!) from
