Galaxy Grey Ergo Baby Carrier

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

The Galaxy Grey Ergo Baby Carriers are finally instock at La Stella Blu again. We seem to have a hard time keeping these on the shelf, and they frequently sell out at the main Ergo Baby site as well. The neutral grey is really popular with moms and dads. This baby carrier features silver embroidered stars on a grey background. The lining has a really subtle swirling pattern. These really sell out fast, so buy yours before they are gone. As always fast free shipping on all of our Ergo Baby products over $35.

Ergo Baby Carrier D Ring

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Sharon from Philadelphia recently emailed with this question. I have an organic Sienna Sunset Ergo Baby Carrier, which I absolutely love. However there is one ring on the right shoulder. What is this for? Is the baby carrier missing something, or is this for some kind of accessory that I do not have?

Well Sharon, you are pretty close. The Ergo Baby Carrier D Ring is used to secure toys, pacifiers, or anything else for your little one to play with. I used to clip on my little girls favorite wooden teether. She was completely at ease on my back with her favorite soothing toy. I have also heard you can use it to hang your baby carrier on a hook or a coat rack while storing.

For those of you with the older Ergo Baby Carrier model with multiple d rings, they were previously used to secure the sleeping hood. FYI, this is the same Ergo model that did not have the chest straps permanently secured to the shoulder straps.

What do you use your Ergo Baby Carrier D Ring for? Let us know we would love to hear from you.

Best Baby Carrier Gifts

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Rachelle from Louisiana emailed with this question, “My sister is having a baby soon and I would love to get her a baby carrier as a gift. She is interested in a Baby Bjorn, but I know there are way better baby carriers out there. She also needs something that is easy to use, because I do not think she would like anything like a baby wrap. We live in Louisiana, so anything that is breathable would be great. It is always hot and humid here!”

For somebody who is not yet committed to babywearing or interested in learning a baby wrap, my first choice would be a soft structured baby carriers. They are very easy to learn and somewhat similar in appearance to a Baby Bjorn. While soft structured baby carriers such as the Beco Baby Carrier or Ergo Baby Carrier look similar to the Bjorn, they keep baby in a seated position rather than hanging by their crotch. This is much better for babies developing spine and sacrum. Ergo Baby has a carrier made from a lighter weight fabric for better breathability. The Sport Ergo Baby Carrier also has a vented panel in the body of the baby carrier for extra air flow.

Pouches are another good choice for those not experienced with babywearing. They are a simple tube of fabric that you slip over your shoulder and place your baby in between the layers of fabric. They are small, compact, and easy to transport. The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch is a good choice for a gift because you do not have to know your sisters exact size. However, pouches do have some limitations. A pouch will not be as comfortable when wearing for longer periods of time or with heavier babies. It is also very important to get proper positioning when wearing a baby in the cradle position to prevent a baby

Facing Outward in the Ergo Baby Carrier

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

We frequently get emails from parents looking for a baby carrier where their baby can face forward. Recently Jennifer from Seattle emailed and wanted to know if this is possible with the Ergo Baby Carrier.

Parents that are interested in a forward facing carrier should consider why they want one. Is it because the parents assume a baby will want to see what is going on around them just as an adult does, or will a baby truly enjoy facing outward? Babies benefit from being able to make eye contact with their parent, watch their facial expressions, and social interactions. Babies that are forward facing cannot do these things.

Babies that are forward facing can also easily become overstimulated. A babies senses are raised and very aware. So much is new to them, and they still have a whole world to discover. What would seem to be a normal situation for us can actually become too much stimuli for them. Babies in forward facing carriers are unable to turn away from a busy environment and find the calming comfort of their parents face.

A baby can also sleep much easier by resting their head on your chest. A baby facing forward cannot find a stable position for their head, and their head will bob around limiting the quality of their sleep. So we cannot in good conscious recommend forward facing baby carriers. High quality baby carriers such as the Ergo Baby Carrier, Beco Baby Carrier, and BabyHawk do not support the forward facing position.

An alternative to wearing your baby facing out is using the hip carry which can be done with both the Ergo Baby Carrier, BabyHawk, and all baby slings. This is not as supportive as a two shouldered carry, but allows your baby a wider range of movement to observe the environment while still providing them the ability to turn away and find comfort from you.
