Just like in the Omni 360 baby carrier, once your baby is able to sit up on her own, you can face her out in the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh. But, we've made it even easier with the Cool Air Mesh Sliders! (Other milestones to consider: Once your baby can see above the front panel of the carrier, has strong head & neck control, and has a natural curiosity to see and interact with the world, they are ready for front-outward carry. This is usually around 5-6 months, depending on your baby.) And since we know that you're a mama-on-the-go (what mom isn't?!), you want to be able to switch baby easily from facing in to facing

It's sunny, and you want to get outside...but it's cold! Babywearing and enjoying the outdoors doesn't have to stop just because the temperatures have dropped, but you do want to take extra precaution that both you and baby are warm and safe while you're out on the trails.
Dress baby in layers. That way as the two of you heat up, you're able to remove layers quickly and easily. Keep baby in their footed pajamas, and layer their legs with adult socks or baby leg warmers. If it's very cold, be sure there is no exposed skin between baby's pants and socks. Cover their hands with socks or mittens.
Consider using a winter weather cover, or a babywearing coat. Ergobaby's Winter Weather cover is the best- it's soft and water-resistant, and allow baby's legs to be completely covered while also offering a hood option. There are different babywearing coats on the

We love these sweet "everyday" testimonials from mamas that are featured on a round-up by Black Moms Blog.
I LOVE Ergo!! I literally take my carrier on every adventure! Baby wearing is very special to me! There is something very ancestral that awakens when I wear my baby. I imagine my foremothers walking through their village, with their babies on their back. Ergo allows me to not only “get stuff done,” but it allows me to connect with my baby on a tribal tip… comfortably.

The Adapt carrier allows to carry your baby from those earliest cuddly moments well into toddlerhood (7-45lbs), all without the need for any additional inserts. Let's start at the beginning, how to use the Adapt baby carrier with a newborn! It's the best baby carrier in our humble opinion for the super-special fourth trimester newborn snuggles.

Everyday, we hear stories from our fans about the longevity and durability of our carrier. "I've used the Ergobaby baby carrier for over six years and through three kids!" is a common refrain we hear! We'd love to invite you to join our private community to get your input for new mamas and to hear your stories and post them on our social media for #ThrowbackThursday. While our carriers are built to last and constructed for durability, here are a few tips to extend the life of your carrier.
Teething Pads
Most babies, once they start teething, suck on the straps of the carrier. It’s right there, ready for tiny mouths, who can blame them? The PH of their saliva even changes as teething begins. Did you know that you can get

Have twins? Or maybe you are babysitting? There are definitely times when the tandem carry comes in handy to carry two babies. When my daughter was about nine months old, I used to babysit an older baby, about 18 months. We lived upstairs and I often would put my daughter in a front baby carrier and the older baby on my back to go up and down the stairs and go for walks. Just keep in mind that the baby on your back needs to be able to sit up on her own before you can attempt the back carry. Also...practice the back carry itself before you try tandem carrying! This is not your beginner carry, but once you master the back carry, it's a great tool to have in your parenting tool kit!

When your baby is about 5-6 months old and has strong head and neck control, you can try to face baby out in the All Position 360 Baby Carrier or the Omni 360 Baby Carrier. Be sure to watch for signs of over-stimulation and if baby gets sleepy, turn them back in (facing you). Our message is simple: follow your baby’s lead and respond to her cues. We acknowledge that parents know their babies best, so choose the position that works for you and your family. Once you've decided that facing your baby out is right for your baby, be sure to follow the tips below (not-so-subtle hint: USE THE GREY BUTTONS! 😂)

There’s something about the cooler weather, leaves starting to fall and the smell of pumpkin spice. October has gradually become my absolute favorite month ever since my husband and I met at a Halloween party. Since then it has taken on even more meaning, because it’s the celebration of International Babywearing Week, this year from October 5th-10th. Hosted by our friends at Babywearing International, babywearing groups in communities all over the World celebrate by doing a variety of fun and educational opportunities, working with other local groups and organizations, posting photos all over social media, giveaways and overall spreading awareness of something that is so near and dear to them.
Every year, more and more caregivers are registering for carriers, and with that growth there are more and more resources in communities to help with baby carrier advice. From what carrier to choose and what may fit best with you particular

At Ergobaby, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of creativity and collaboration amongst our teams. It is a critical part of our mission to never stop innovating, to try listen to caregivers and their feedback about our products, which leads us to create new and better solutions to make their every day easier. With that, I am thrilled to introduce to you the newest generation of Ergobaby infant insert, the Easy Snug.
What makes the Easy Snug different?
In an effort to make the infant insert easier to use, as well as cooler, we set out to create an infant insert that snaps into your carrier. With tabs located on the top and the sides of the insert, it snaps around the shoulder straps, as well as the side webbing. This enables you to leave the infant insert in your carrier, and load baby as needed, with no question as to how the infant insert needs to be positioned inside your carrier. It is also
