We are excited to announce our partnership with shopkick to help you make shopping more guilt free!
With shopkick you treat yourself with rewards just by walking into many stores where you already like to shop. That's right, you get rewards not just for purchase, but simply for walking in. The rewards are called "kicks."
You can simply visit stores and get kicks, but also from purchasing items like the Ergobaby Carriers. Use the app to collect your kicks, then you can treat yourself. So, by simply purchasing one of four Ergobaby Carriers at a participating retailer, you can earn kicks to win rewards. Here's how it works:
Head to your retailer (see list at bottom of post).
Scan a box of one of these four products with

A quote from Healthy Child, Healthy World encapsulating the book’s message to all families:
“Our design assignment at this moment in our history could, perhaps, be summed up thus: Make a world where we love all the children of all species for all time. If that were the plan, then we’d have no choice but to create a world that is delightfully diverse, economically equitable, ecologically sound, elegant and enjoyable.”
~William McDonough
Healthy Child has been a voice for children’s wellbeing for over 20 years. Their journey to educate parents on establishing a nontoxic environment for their babies and children began with this excellent volume on solution orientation, Healthy Child Healthy World, Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home. This is somewhat of a miniature encyclopedia condensed into one lightweight, easy-to-read, comprehensive reference guide for parents. Author, new father, and passionate advocate,

Admiration and inspiration are a great place to start any size step onto a new road.
Bringing our attention to The Heart of Green Award nominees is bound to elevate our motivation for the eco-evolution underway.
The creators of this prestigious accolade are found at dailygreen.com. Their website shares blogs, videos and stories that introduce us to some very special people’s work and how they have influenced others positively, as told by their fans, students and children.
Here’s one nomination: “It is my great honor and with great enthusiasm that I nominate Jay Golden for the Heart of Green Award. Jay has a clear purpose of using story peppered with fun and humor to bring a message of hope, inspiration, and information to children. I could go on and on about his web series Gorilla in the Green House, which addresses complex issues such as the pacific garbage patch and mountain top removal through song and rhymes…”

We cherish our children and devote ourselves to serving their best interests in their health, happiness and development. When they are babies, we hold them close to our hearts to nurture our bond with them. In their maturation they insist on freedom and we gradually let them go to foster their independence.
We give them the best guidance we know so they may make the best choices along the pathway of life. Our choices decide the quality of life for generations to come. Our Universal circumstances are now pressuring us as a collective society to choose between health and sustainability or toxins and conventional agriculture
Cotton In Our Everyday Lives
A helpful fact from the Untouched World website (untouchedworld.com) warns "pesticides used in conventional cotton farming can enter the human food chain.
Cotton is grown primarily for its fiber and is regulated as a non-food crop. However, the majority of the cotton plant by weight ends up in our food supply. Cottonseed oil

MAUI, HI -- July 15, 2010 -- Today marks the launch of the newest design of the popular ERGObaby carrier - the Performance.
The ERGObaby Performance carriers are made for babies, moms and dads that are active and love to be outside in almost any climate. The ERGObaby Performance carriers feature a high-performance polyester exterior, ideal for outdoor activities in all climates; a breathable mesh lining, keeping babies and parents cooler and more comfortable; and a CoolMax panel for extra moisture absorption and protection. This sleek, streamlined design offers a smooth, supportive fit for parents and babies of most sizes, and, as with all ERGObaby Carriers, can be used to carry babies from newborn to toddler on the back, front, and hip positions. Of course, like every other ERGObaby Carrier, ERGObaby's Performance line supports the correct ergonomic position for both babies and parents.
"I am thrilled to bring the Performance to the families of the world," says Karin

Dear ERGObaby,
I am a prenatal chiropractor in Los Angeles who you sent a Heart to Heart insert and ERGObaby carrier to. I am so very excited about your new insert and so excited to tell you about all of the success I've had in spreading the word about your awesome products!
Regarding the new insert, I cannot say enough good things about it! The spinal support that it provides to newborns/infants is superb, with the focus being on the sacrum, pelvis and even hips where they need it the most. I really appreciate that baby can be snugly supported against the parent so as mom or dad is moving around the baby's neck and spine are comfortably held in place - no flopping like with other carriers, and even so much better than the old insert. Another feature that is so very important for developing infants is that they can be placed into the carrier in their natural "frog legged" posture until their hips are ready to spread on their own. I am frequently applauding new parents for wearing
