Expert Tips for Parents
December 18, 2020
When shopping for a baby carrier, wearing baby in a front outward facing position is a feature that a lot of parents look for. Although some babies do not enjoy being carried facing outward, many love being able to watch the world around them, exploring new sights and sounds with the comfort of you close behind.
Unlike sitting facing the world in a stroller, wearing your baby front outward facing means she is held up higher where she can see over the fence at the farm for you to point out the animals or up at conversational height on a woodland walk, able to reach out and touch the leaves.
Before you embark on your world-facing adventure, you should know the signs that mean your child is ready, how to wear baby in an optimal, front outward facing position in our Embrace, All Position 360, Aerloom or Omni carriers and when baby needs to be turned back to a parent-facing position.

Doesn't that hurt your back? They'll never learn to sleep on their own if they're always napping in a baby carrier. Why don't you just use a buggy?

Ever wondered about these things? Or have others challenged you about your baby carrying? If so, I'm here to bust some babywearing myths.

‘BABY CARRIERS HURT YOUR BACK’
A well-fitted, well-designed baby carrier that suits your body - and your baby's age and stage - shouldn't hurt your back. At all. If it does, it likely just needs some small adjustments. It's all about making sure your baby's weight is evenly distributed across your body. If your carrier is just a bit too low or too loose, your baby's weight can pull away from you, putting a strain on your back, shoulder

Spread a Little Christmas Spirit with an Ergobaby Doll Carrier this Yuletide
Â
We are excited to announce our first ever Santa Service, bringing a little bit of festive joy to the holiday season! You can order your little love an Ergobaby Doll Carrier for Christmas and it will arrive with a special note from Santa to let them know they are firmly on the Nice List and to thank them for being so well behaved this year.
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!
Two magical new prints have joined the range in time for Christmas: Galaxy and Enchanted, both designed to captivate and delight children of all ages.
To receive the letter from Santa, simply purchase a Doll Carrier from the ergobaby.co.uk

A Baby Carrier with a Little Extra Cleanliness
Ergobaby launch their first ever Anti-Microbial Baby Carrier

How Quality Baby Gear Saves the Environment and Your Wallet
Baby gear is expensive. I know that firsthand. I’m about to have another baby, and it seems like with each child that prices keep going up. I’m not a coupon clipper by any means, but I do like finding good deals and I’m not opposed to buying off-brand products or accepting hand-me-downs that are still in good condition.
While it’s good to be a savvy shopper and set a baby budget, there are some baby items you shouldn’t buy cheap.
When does it make sense to pay a little more for quality?
Flour is flour. Spices are spices. Some people may disagree with me, but the only real differences between most generic and name-brand foods are the packaging and prices of the items. So when you’re at the grocery store debating between Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and the generic brand, you should be fine going with the latter. The box isn’t as fancy (sorry there’s no Tony the Tiger), but in this case, the cheaper product tastes the same so there’s

Ergobaby Baby Carriers:Â Perfect for Any "Age or Stage" of Development
Â
It can be tricky to know which carrier will be the perfect fit for your family, particularly if you haven't had baby yet and there are a LOT of options out there. To help you tell your Aura from Embrace and your Adapt from your Omni, we’ve put together this guide to help you pick the right baby carrier or wrap for you and your family. Read on to find out more…
Which baby carrier is right for me? Which one will my baby feel most comfortable in? Can I find one that will fit both me and my partner? Is there one perfect baby carrier for everyone? Let's start with the last question. On the one hand, a baby carrier that serves throughout baby’s entire development, from birth until they prefer to permanently explore the world on their own feet, does indeed exist. But… this kind of carrier might not necessarily be the "perfect" solution for everyone. Every baby is different – so are the people carrying them – and they all

We really believe that babywearing is for everyone. Whether you’re a first-time parent or a parent of 3, using a baby carrier or sling can help you every day. Here’s just some of the things you may not have considered…
Skin to Skin
It’s been well documented that skin-to-skin contact between a mum and baby helps with bonding and breastfeeding. It is also a great way for dad and baby to bond in the first few weeks after birth. Holding baby gently cradled in a sling allows for a more gentle introduction from womb to the world.
Our Aura Baby Wrap is lightweight and breathable, allowing your baby to be held comfortably against your body, so you can both enjoy those first cuddles.

Don't Forget Dads
Mum has been carrying baby for 9 months, so it’s no surprise that a lot of dads are eager to have their turn when baby arrives!
Our Embrace newborn carrier can be used from birth (min. 3.2kgs/7lbs - 11.3kgs) and is the simplest

Purrfect for your CARiFiT kit bag
The Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh Grey Leopard is here and we think it's great for adding a touch of flair to your CARiFiT workouts!
Keep cool with a Sweaty Betty gym vest with a dropped back hem, perfect for teaming with some statement leggings (like these 7/8 Technical Leggings from Next) and the loose fit will aid breastfeeding mums.
Look after your feet with a pair of Nike Air Max trainers, which boast a tongueless design (helping you slide them on and off with baby on board) and rubber tread to keep you safe and stable.
Throw an Under Armour zip through hoodie in the mix to stop you warming down too quickly, help baby stay snug on your way back home or just because, let's face it, who doesn't like a warm, soft hoodie?!
Track your progress with the Fitbit Charge 4 fitness tracker, showing you just how hard you've been working.
And because hard work deserves a reward, we think this Tiba + Marl holdall would make for a stylish kit bag 😉
