How Do I Use The Neck Support On My Ergobaby Carrier?
Â
It may be a rather small part of your carrier but using your baby carriers' neck support correctly can make a difference to both baby's safety and comfort so we think it's really important! It's designed to be super easy to adjust depending on your baby's age and stage, and how you're carrying them.
Â
Before we get started, please note that the first two points relate solely to our Adapt and Omni carriers as our Original or All Position 360 carriers need an infant insert for the early stages so the rules change a little here, and our Embrace and Aerloom carriers' neck support isn't moveable.
Â
When your Ergobaby baby carrier arrives it will be 'set up' as if for a newborn, with the neck support buttoned onto the inside of the carrier. So if you have just bought your carrier new and have a newborn (7lb+) baby then you're good to go. But for everyone else you may need to adjust the support's position before you start wearing your little

Our Top Five Tips for Winter Babywearing
Every year as it starts to get chillier, we have questions in from parents asking about how to dress their little one while they're in their baby carrier in cold weather, so here are our Top Five Winter Babywearing tips:
1. Less Is More
Dressing baby in too many layers of clothing could cause them to overheat, so start with fewer layers and add more if you feel baby is too chilly. When dressing baby for winter babywearing, remember that your carrier counts as a layer of clothing and so do you as your body warms them up - particularly as your temperature is likely to increase as you’re carrying baby, along with any number of parenting essentials!
2. Wear Your Carrier UNDER Your Coat, Not OVER It
It might be tempting to put your carrier on over coat or cardigans etc. to keep your warmth inside it but not only does this prevent you and baby from sharing warmth but it can also affect the fit of your carrier making it less secure for you and baby. Keeping

How to Check Baby's Positioning in your Carrier
Our carriers are all designed to be easy to use and for baby to be perfectly supported no matter their age or size and in every carry position. But sometimes something doesn't quite feel right or isn't quite working. The good news is that this can very likely be fixed with some very simple adjustments to how you wear your carrier or position baby in it.
Set up is key
First step is to check your carrier is set up correctly. The easiest way to do that is to click this link and find your carrier on the page. Find whichever carry you're looking for and watch the instructional video, it will include how to set your carrier up for that particular position. A few things to make sure of:
If using one of our Original, Adapt, All Position 360 or Omni carriers, ensure you are using the correct velcro tabs on the inside of the waistband for your baby's size. For those with our Aerloom or Embrace carriers you may need to roll the carrier if you have

Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh vs Omni Breeze
What's The Difference?
Â
As you can't have missed, we recently launched our Omni Breeze carrier joining the Omni 360 cotton and Cool Air Mesh in our Omni range. Since then, there's been one question on everyone's lips ... how is it different to its predecessor, the Omni 360? Sure, they have some (very important!) similarities but what exactly makes Omni Breeze so special?
Read on to find out more...
Â
Â
MAXIMUM Airflow
Omni Breeze is made with Lightweight SoftFlex™ Mesh that covers almost all of the carrier. Its soft-feel technology provides maximum airflow with a streamlined look to keep you and baby cool and dry all day. In comparison Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh offers targeted mesh panels in a cotton body panel for a high level of breathability with a more technical look. Additionally, Omni Breeze also has foam cut outs in the waistbelt and lumbar support for even more breathability.

Hooray! Summer is almost here! We often get asked how best to dress for babywearing summer heat so here are our top tips for keeping cool and confident while wearing your baby in warm weather.
1. Dress for the Weather
No matter the season, layers are key! Your carrier or baby wrap acts as one layer of clothing, so it’s important to keep both you and baby lightly dressed when using your carrier.  Although of course this being Britain we recommend an extra layer or two in your change bag just in case the weather changes! Fabrics made of natural fibers such as bamboo or cotton are the fastest drying and are breathable, so can help keep baby cool. And don't forget sunshades and a sunhat! If baby doesn’t like to wear their sunhat, wearing one with a wide brim yourself can help keep baby shaded too, and all Ergobaby carriers (except for Aerloom) come with an integrated sunhood (folded into an open or zippered pocket on the outside of the main carrier panel). This can be attached to one side
