How to Buy an Ergo Baby Carrier

Baby wearing is a way to keep your baby close to you while giving you the freedom to use your hands for other tasks. It's convenient if your baby doesn't like to be put down when you need to make dinner, do a little cleaning or simply to walk around the house. A popular carrier that can be used in the front or on your back is the Ergo. Ergobaby offers a variety of collections, accessories and colors to consider before purchasing.

      Evaluate the accessories and whether you need them. The Flex has a detachable hood for when your baby is asleep, while it is built-in with the Classic and Active styles. Ergo also sells the Infant Insert, which should be used until your baby gains stable head control. A waist extension is available to extend the waist straps an additional eight inches for a more comfortable fit for larger body types. Teething pads are also available to prevent your baby from chewing on the straps of the Ergo itself.
