May 8, 2009, ERGObaby Founder and Designer Karin Frost was featured in a live interview on the radio show "Natural Pregnancy, Birth & Parenting" with Reverend Zoe Weston. Ms. Frost talked briefly about the history and culture of baby carrying, then listed some of the ways babies benefit from babywearing - they cry less often and for shorter periods of time, often become more independent and secure, they remain calmer, they are more in tune with parents, and they enjoy heightened social skills. Frost also discussed Jean Liedloff's Continuum Concept, which served as her inspiration in designing the ERGObaby Carrier, and the more recent Attachment Parenting movement.

...I once told a group of environmental activists, "You can save a forest today, but if we don't raise children consciously, it will be cut down tomorrow." From this perspective we see that the well being of children sits at the root of every endeavour. With out happy, healthy children, we have no forest, no peace, and no world. A powerful body of research grounded in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology and genetics points us towards the importance of the early years and how bonding, or the lack of it, dictates a child's sense of his relationship to the world and himself. We as parents literally have in our hands, the ability to create a violent culture or a peaceful one.

"I am very happy to recommend the Ergobaby Carrier to my patients because it is designed to care for both parent and baby. The design allows optimal weight distribution for the comfort of the wearer, reducing stress on the spine and shoulders. The design also allows a safe carrying position for the baby. Many health professionals, including myself, share a concern that many baby carriers on the market today load the baby's spine prematurely. This may cause long-term damage to the spine. The Ergobaby Carrier supports the baby's weight through the upper thigh rather than weighting the spine. It also offers total support of the baby's head and neck, allowing for safe hands-free carrying. As a chiropractor my primary focus is on caring for the spine and nervous system and allowing my patients to develop to their full potential. The Ergobaby Carrier offers a great start to life for your baby."     Dr Bridie Cullinane is from 'Peak Potential
