With the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh baby carrier, you can do it all (like hiking!) and stay cool. A few of our mama friends hit the trails this past week in Los Angeles. Hiking is a great way to get out and enjoy the outdoors with babe! Just be sure to prep and bring along the sunscreen.

The Original and Four Position 360 baby carriers are designed to carry most children from birth (at least 7 pounds) with the use of the infant insert, which provides cushion and support. Infants are soft and floppy and lack the ability to hold their head and trunk up on their own. The Ergobaby infant insert provides this needed support that is not present in the carrier without it. Think of a taco holding everything up and in. This insert keeps the airway open and provides a swaddling effect that both soothes and protects the infant.

Early on I knew something was unique about my son. Everything about him just seemed more intense than other babies his age. He cried a lot, seemed behind on his developmental milestones, everything about him was just “more” summarizes how I felt at the time, and babywearing kept us all together. Looking back now I realize that I was indeed suffering from postpartum depression and some PTSD, and carrying for a high needs infant seemed to exacerbate or increase the symptoms. Breastfeeding didn’t go well, I received some really terrible advice, and pumping seemed like a special kind of torture. So we didn’t, and then came on more guilt. Not the ideal birth, not breastfeeding? What kind of Mom was I? This is where

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!
