Metro 2020: Back with New Strength and Fresh Ideas
There has always been a breeze of fresh air blowing through the merry month of May, and this year is no different. And this time the fresh'n up is for our #naptimeextraordinaire, #onehandfolder, #spacemiracle, #bootspacemaximiser and #corridorconqueror... the Metro Compact City Stroller.
Â
The new 2020 model comes with a number of updates and two captivating new colours. Joining the classic Grey and Black colourways, this summer rings a softer bell with the Metro 2020 in Plum and Marine Blue. Plum is a gorgeous plum purple tone while the Marine Blue model is a matt petrol blue tone.

And a lot more has been going on behind the scenes. Thanks to a stable yet light aluminium frame, the Metro can now hold a maximum weight of 22 kg. The wheel bearings have been improved as well, ensuring a gentler stroll around the city, softening the impact of cobblestones or gravel paths. And last but not least, the sun canopy

Behind the scenes: How the Ergobaby team works at home
Â
New Work has been a hot topic for quite some time as the world of work undergoes a fundamental structural change. It's all about more flexibility, greater networking, the digitisation of everyday working life, and about becoming ever more productive while having more fun at work. We discussed at our annual kick-off meeting in early February whether and how we want to change new forms of teamwork across our various locations in the Hamburg, Paris, London and L.A. offices, but also individually. After all, "every kick is different", which means that everyone defines feeling good at work differently. But what is often mentioned is the desire for more home office time.
Â
Well, who would have thought at the beginning of February that this would become a reality so quickly for so many of us? Switching to 100% of us working from home, virtually from one day to the next, nobody could have predicted it. But because we know that for expectant

Lots of parents often ask about swaddling. Many are not sure of either the best way to do it or even why they should be doing it in the first place. Some parents have tried it previously and have their reasons why they didn’t stick to it: the baby hated to be swaddled, the swaddle never stayed put anyway, I want her arms free so she can self soothe, etc.Â
How does swaddling help a baby?
Swaddling isn’t just cute because you make a little baby burrito. It’s beneficial for your baby (and you!). While there are lots of reasons why many parents choose not to swaddle their newborn babies, there are far greater reasons why you should! Here are just a few:
Safer sleeping.
Studies have found that newborn babies who are swaddled and placed on their backs in the crib are less likely to pull blankets over their head. Swaddling also makes it harder for babies to roll over onto their fronts, thus further lessening the risk of

We are so excited to announce that our Ergobaby Metro Compact City Stroller took the top prize at the Mother & Baby 2020 Awards in the Best Lightweight Buggy/Stroller category.
Up against some tough competition from brands like Cybex, Joie Baby and Microlite, the parent judges gave gold to our Metro Stroller. This is what they had to say :
How did this product make your life easier?
Jennie: The buggy folds down to a very compact size and is very lightweight. It's perfect for smaller cars that can't accommodate a buggy that is long when folded down or doesn't have much boot space. Once you've practiced folding it down and opening it up a couple of times the motions are very simple and easy to achieve, it takes seconds to fold and unfold it. It's very lightweight and easy to lift in and out of a boot.
Would you recommend this to other mums?
Frances: Yes! If you are looking for a pram for travel I would wholeheartedly recommend this pram. Even for everyday use, it is good quality enough to

We have all heard about new car smells, but what about new baby smells?
You know, that earthy, new baby smell, that one that causes dopamine to release in your brain and makes you feel so good – what is it?
Smell can be the most potent sense to strike up an emotional response. The smell of a newborn is likely thought to be a combination of chemicals secreted through sweat glands, lingering amniotic fluid and vernix caseosa, the white cheese-like cream that covers babies at birth; all this combined, is thought to create a combination of intoxicating medley aroma that nature designed to pull you in. Whatever it is, that distinct smell provides a pathway to our brains and to ultimately our hearts and binds us to that little life in front of us.
Although the newborn scent eventually fades (usually around six weeks of age) many parents (including this one) are known to take a deep whiff of their child’s head (regardless of their age) and savor the unique
