From the very beginning, Ergobaby was created around the idea of community. When Karin Frost first designed the Original carrier, she believed that raising children in a village of support was important, and a baby carrier was a helpful tool that made participation possible. Postpartum, many families are overwhelmed with the amount of support they receive early on, but suddenly when a partner returns to work, or family leaves town, they find themselves feeling very isolated. We know that Postpartum Depression is becoming increasingly common, with 1 in 7 mothers receiving a diagnosis, with many more not receiving the diagnosis and support they need. Fathers are experiencing it also, some studies saying as high as 1 in 4.
With all this in mind, Ergobaby is thrilled to announce the creation of an online support group, not just for baby carrying,

On September 21st in Madurai, India Ergobaby celebrated our 100th order with Penguin Apparels, our India vendor, which has been like a family to us. The day was spend celebrating with traditional dances, personal accounts from Penguin Apparels team members and community outreach events which included dedicating a new water treatment system to a orphanage as well as donating medical supplies and equipment to those in assisted living homes within the community.
In great India tradition, this "small" gathering included over 500 people, an elephant, cake cutting and lots of delicious food.
We were honored to celebrate this milestone with them as a representation of our partnership over the last 8 years. With a partner so dedicated to community outreach, we look forward to many more years of collaboration. We recently sat down with Yassin Deo, from our supply chain team, and he told us about this amazing trip. Watch the video of our entire conversation with Yassin

We recently had the pleasure of spending the weekend in Provo, Utah, as we continued our "Mama-to-Be Mornings" series, celebrating the launch of the new Adapt carrier. You can see our New York event highlights here. It was a lovely morning, full of expectant and new parents, with lots of excitement in the air. The venue we chose- The Startup Building- was absolutely perfect for the event! It was the perfect size to accommodate all of our featured vendors, long tables for the luncheon, and a stage for our panel. It was amazing to take a step back while the event was going on, and see all of the happy faces milling around, checking out baby items and mentally adding products to their wishlists!

When our friend Jacqui Saldana from Baby Boy Bakery announced her pregnancy on Instagram, she was flooded with companies requesting to gift product to her for her upcoming baby. Jacqui decided to turn all that generosity toward an amazing organization instead of herself and planned a baby shower for Baby2Baby. Baby2Baby provides low-income children ages 0-12 with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves. Jacqui is committed to honoring her son Ryan's memory by supporting efforts to encourage other kids to live loud and live wild, like Ryan did. We are happy to support Jacqui and her mission.
