Did you know that we at Ergobaby have identified a total of five areas we want to work on to create a better future for our children? These are: Sustainability; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); Education and Science; Charity; and People and Politics. That's why our Aerloom baby carrier was born out of a desire to create a carrier that builds on our corporate responsibility. So it's not just beautiful and highly functional, it's like a love letter to our babies and our Mother Earth.
So why not dive straight into our new Aerloom Ocean Reef collection with its colours and patterns "Seagrass Green", "Abalone", "Black Pearl", "Amber Coral" and "Aquamarine", reminiscent of a magical underwater world. And above all, discover the many wonderful benefits that come with our most sustainable wear:

Hallelujah, with so many different baby carriers and variations - keeping track of them all is sometimes not so easy, even for us. And what about you? That's why we thought we'd compare two baby carriers so that it's easier for you to make a decision. Today we have chosen one of our bestsellers, the Omni 360. You can buy the Omni 360 in two different versions: the Omni 360 Cotton made of 100 percent premium cotton or the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh with breathable mesh fabric.
As always, there is no "better" or "worse" here, otherwise we could simply take one style off the market. No, the decisive factors are personal taste, the attitude to certain topics such as sustainability or individual living conditions and one's own activity level. Because in terms of functionality, both baby carriers have the same advantages: The practical crossover shoulder straps and the wide, padded lumbar support of the Omni carrier protect your back, while you can carry your child ergonomically in four different

Why Choose Babywearing?
Chances are if you're here on the Ergobaby blog you're already considering babywearing! But if you're not yet sure exactly why babywearing is so great, you've come to the right place!
Â
In a nutshell, babywearing allows parents and caregivers to keep babies safe, comfortable and happily in close contact while providing them with numerous physical and emotional benefits for their development too!
Â
Babies are carried for nine months when parents are pregnant but when baby is born, it's a whole new world for them. Luckily, wearing baby in a wrap or baby carrier reinstates that closeness again, while also providing numerous benefits to development, both physically and emotionally. The first few months after birth is called the ‘fourth trimester’ - and for good reason, as little ones need parents more than ever as they make the transition into the world.
Â
Babywearing allows parents to build a stronger bond between child and parent. The closeness stimulates a beneficial

Make sure baby  is clean and dry, nobody would like to sit in a dirty nappy!

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!
Â
Â
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
Â
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.
Â
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
