The ERGO Baby Carrier Works Great for Families Adopting a Baby

We have had a lot of customers buy the ERGO for the baby or toddler they were adopting. And so many of them have told us how pleased they have been with it, I thought I should write a Blog entry on it. The reason the ERGO works so great for these families is that usually the baby is not an infant and therefore too heavy to carry in a Bjorn-type carrier. The hip belt on the ERGO allows them to carry a heavier child on front without neck, back or shoulder strain. And they can always use the back and hip carry options as well. Because many parents of an adopted baby feel that increased body contact can aid in bonding between them and their new child, they like to be able to carry them around as much as possible both in the house and out. The ERGO is great for this because it is ergonomically designed to be comfortable for both the adult and the child and since it is a frameless carrier, it isn’t big and bulky either. Speaking of which, many families have to travel to pick up their child and it’s nice to have a carrier that folds up and tucks into a bag when traveling by airplane.
