The idea of travelling with young children will strike fear in to the heart of many new parents, but for others, their wanderlust is just too hard to fight.
In the spirit of “I can do anything #inmyergo”, we’d like to introduce you to Susannah, founder of the parents’ travel hub – Our Tribe Travels.

After heading to the Far East when their first born was just 11 months old, Susannah found little support or resources online to help plan their trip. She began a blog documenting her family’s travels, which she saw start to inspire others. (Just take a look at this trip to see why! Trek in Nepal)

She wanted to give like-minded families the confidence to plan their own adventures and travel independently with their families, and so began Our Tribe Travels. It provides a hub for other families to share their travelling experiences and top tips, whilst also providing great resources to help plan family trips.

We LOVE being tagged in your family photos and seeing how you use your Ergobaby carrier. Our new, worldwide #inmyergo campaign celebrates the big and small adventures of parenting. We want to get a glimpse into your lives with baby and hear the stories behind them.
From the quick walks to the shops to the long hikes in the mountains on a family holiday, our carriers, and babywearing in general, gives you a freedom that a stroller can't.
At home, a carrier allows you to comfort your baby, you both get to enjoy precious cuddles, whilst you also have your hands free to tend to everyday household chores and errands.
These insights into your daily lives, not only warm our hearts here at Ergobaby UK, but they also give us valuable information as to what you like most about our carriers, so we can continue making high quality, comfortable baby carriers for parents all over the world.
To be a part of our campaign, share your favourite photos on instagram using hashtag #inmyergo and

If someone came to you in the street and asked you what a nursing pillow was, would you be able to answer? Nursing pillows are actually, as the name suggets, cushions that help mothers with new-born children to breastfeed. Today, you will see a list of the top 5 in which one is clearly the best nursing pillow of the bunch.
Regarding the usability, nursing pillows work by providing a soft and supporting platform for babies, where they can easily lie while being breastfed. The pillow rests on the mother's legs, which is great because it means that the mother can take a bit of a break.
These pillows are a real must-have if you are a new mother and they can really take away some of the stress.
Imagine having to hold your child for upwards of thurty minutes, multiple times a day. It's just not something that anyone wants to do and, with the help of a nursing pillow, it's something that you no longer have to do.
What are the benefits of using a nursing pillow?

In 2016 in Madurai, India Ergobaby celebrated our 100th order with Penguin Apparels, our India vendor, which has been like a family to us. The day was spent celebrating with traditional dances, personal accounts from Penguin Apparels team members and community outreach events which included dedicating a new water treatment system to a orphanage as well as donating medical supplies and equipment to those in assisted living homes within the community.
In great India tradition, this “small” gathering included over 500 people, an elephant, cake cutting and lots of delicious food.
We were honored to celebrate this milestone with them as a representation of our partnership over the last 8 years. With a partner so dedicated to community outreach, we look forward to many more years of collaboration. We recently sat down with Yassin Deo, from our supply chain team, and he told us about this amazing trip.

He graduated from high school and discovered quickly that he had little interest in becoming a commercial graphic artist, and moved to New York City in 1978 to attend the School of Visual Arts and be immersed in the city’s vibrant alternative arts community. Part of which was developing on the streets, and by 1980 he was drawing his signature line drawings in New York’s subways. Creating as many as several hundred by 1985. Concepts such as birth, death, love and war, immediately recognizable visual language spoke to not just a street audience, but galleries and museums as well. He even collaborated with children, other artists and in the presence of people so he could engage in real time.
Word quickly spread of his whimsical, colorful, relatable art that was easy to understand. Accessibility was important to him, and while his art was beginning
