We are honored to announce a new carrier designed in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in support of Susan G. Komen®. In 2016-2017, Ergobaby will make a guaranteed minimum donation of $25,000 to Komen in connection with the Ribbons Carrier regardless of sales ($5 per Ribbons Carrier).
We are proud to support Komen in its efforts to save lives and inspire hope for all who have been affected by breast cancer. Through our Carry For A Cure initiative, we will help spread the message of education and prevention to the parenting community by sharing the inspirational stories of real parents who are breast cancer survivors.
“At Ergobaby, we seek to find new ways to support families through every phase of life. Breast cancer has impacted many of the families we serve, as well as those of us at Ergobaby. Everyone has a friend, family member or co-worker affected by this disease. Recently, one of our own team members, Cynthia Neiman, battled breast cancer. We were truly inspired

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.

Happy fall! We're loving the rich autumn colors, adventures to the pumpkin patch and the smell of roasting vegetables for dinner. This fall, along with celebrating babywearing, we're meditating on mindful parenting, honoring adoptive families and taking the time to breathe in the joy of connecting with our families.
Just in time for the season, we're happy to give you a look at our newest carriers, Ventus Purple and Marine, as well as a new Swaddler design. To show them in action, we followed some families on their fall adventures and we'll be highlighting their stories on the blog this season. Be sure to follow along at #ergobabyeveryday.
Keeping our Original Collection fresh, we've added a touch of whimsy with the Marine Carrier, showcasing a sweet whale pattern in a beautifully soft blue shell, the perfect complement to your nautical or undersea themed nursery.

Back in 2002, a mother living on Maui was not satisfied with the baby carrying options available to her. Looking to keep her new son close to her body, she tried seven different carriers, some of which worked fairly well, but nothing that satisfied her needs for comfort and ergonomics. With a background in design, she set out to create something that was both comfortable and easy for parents to use. With that, the ergonomic, comfortable design of the Ergobaby Baby Carrier was born.
With that humble design, Karin Frost revolutionized how we carry babies. Her soft structured carrier (SSC) design has become the gold standard. As we are celebrating our 10 year birthday, we wanted to visit with our founder, Karin Frost to hear about Ergobaby origins, how she helped change the safety testing for SSC's and the road ahead for Ergobaby.
