EllaRoo – May Baby Carrier Give Away

Katie — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:48:33 +0000

Margie of Kalamazoo, MI has chosen an EllaRoo Wrap for the May Baby Sling Give Away. She loved using her Moby Wrap while her daughter was young. Her daughter still loves the closeness of being carried in a wrap, and Margie is looking for extra support from a woven wrap.

She is sure to love the light weight fabric of EllaRoo wraps which makes them easy to manipulate while tying. The Kristen Wrap is simply stunning with complimentary blue and green hues. Happy Babywearing!

At La Stella Blu we believe in being green, and we are happy to offer the best organic baby carriers available from Hotslings, EllaRoo, and Ergo Baby. Organically grown cotton promotes healthy soil and limits hazards to people and the environment.

Hotslings now has two organic options; hemp and parisian blue. Their hemp and organic cotton blend is not dyed or bleached, and it is soft as can be. Parisian blue is on sale now, and supplies are limited.

EllaRoo is an amazing company committed to sustainability. All of their mei tais and mei hips are made with 100% certified organic cotton and recycled polyester batting made from soda bottles.

Ergo Baby introduced a new organic line in response to increased awareness for eco-friendly products. Their organic chocolate baby carrier is very popular and often sold out across the internet. In the next couple of months Ergo Baby will be introducing a new blue organic baby carrier. We can’t wait!

EllaRoo FAQ

Katie — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:46:54 +0000

What size carrier should I order?

The Mei Tai and Mei Hip come in one size and fit up to a 48″ waist size.

The Ring Sling comes in three sizes (S, M, L). Most people will use a Medium sling. Very petite people, e.g. 5′2″ and 100 lbs, may use a Small. Larger moms and dads, e.g. size 20, will use a Large.

The Ring Slings are all the same width (about 27″), but they vary in length by about 6″.

The EllaRoo Wrap comes in six sizes, with sizing as follows:

2.7 m Rebozo-length (Good for hip/cradle carry, hot weather, and quick trips!)
3.6 m Extra-Small (Good for short wraps: cross, rucksack, hip cross, etc.)
4.2 m Small up to 130lbs and 5′4″
4.6 m Medium up to 160lbs and 5′8″
5.0 m Large up to 190lbs and 6′
5.4 m Extra-Large over 190lbs and 6

What kind of fabrics are used, and how are they grown and processed?

As of 2007, all new colorways of the Mei Tai, Mei Hip, and Ring Sling are made of 100% organic cotton, with recycled polyester batting. The Wrap is hand woven in Guatemala of conventionally-grown cotton and the dyes used are free of toxins and heavy metals.

How can I keep my Ellaroo baby carrier in excellent condition?

We suggest washing all Ellaroo baby carriers in cold water by hand or in the gentle cycle of the washing machine and hanging them dry. When tying your Wrap baby carrier, avoid yanking on the fringe. Like any handwoven fabric, the Wraps are vulnerable at the fringes. If one part of the fringe is pulled hard away from another part, it may tear.
