November 3rd, 2009 Posted in Baby Bjorn, Dad Baby Carriers, Ergo CarriersThe Ergo Baby Carrier…the only baby carrier you’ll need from birth to toddler! Ergonomically Designed Baby carrier
The Ergo Baby Carrier is a revolutionary lightweight baby carrier that is changing the way babies are carried today. With it’s ability to adjust for front carrying, back carrying or hip carrying, the Ergo Baby Carrier is truly one of the most versatile modern baby carriers available. An amazingly comfortable baby carrier, the Ergo offers good lumbar support and adjusts well to a multitude of body types making it the PERFECT baby carrier for mom, dad, grandparents and babysitters alike to use and share with ease. Best of all, the Ergo Baby Carrier supports a baby’s spine and hips in the healthiest way possible, a seated position (no spine compression), as recommend by chiropractors and family physicians worldwide.
The ERGO Baby Carrier has an ergonomic design which supports a correct sitting position for a baby’s hip, pelvis and spinal growth. It disperses most of a baby’s weight between your baby’s hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch, which many other baby carrier designs require.
Parents everywhere share two simple desires: to make life easier for themselves, and to make life better for their baby and child. You can accomplish BOTH with the Ergo Baby Carrier! The Ergo Baby Carrier is a unique baby backpack that allows freedom of movement and complete comfort for any parent or caregiver. Padded shoulder straps and a very supportive waist belt on the Ergo help to distribute your baby’s weight evenly across your body for maximum comfort up to 40 pounds and more, leaving your hands free for work or play.
The Ergo Baby Carrier can be worn on the front, back or hip position and is a popular baby carrier among dads and grandparents for it’s ease of use and “mainstream” appeal. Simple and smart solid colors never go out of style - this is one baby carrier that can be used for years to come!

What can the Ergo Baby Carrier do that the Baby Bjorn (Snuggly) can’t?
Just about everything! If the Ergo Baby Carrier were just as heavily marketed as the Baby Bjorn, we KNOW it would quickly surpass it’s popularity and become the most seen and used baby carrier by parents nationwide. Sadly, many parents only know of the Baby Bjorn when they begin on their new journey into parenthood, and so it is without thought or question that they spend $100 + on their Baby Bjorn, without learning about it’s true limitations.
Designed as a FRONT carrier only, this is just a start to where the Ergo Baby Carrier and the Baby Bjorn differ. While this may be what many parents want at the time of their infant’s birth, eventually you will learn that having a baby strapped to your front only can be problematic if you wish to perform various tasks around your home, yard or while running errands. Carrying your baby on your chest does not make it easy to chop an onion, boil water, carry laundry, sweep the floor, garden or even carry groceries. The simple solution would be to put your baby on your back, piggyback style! Unfortunately the Baby Bjorn does not allow for this, as it has a limited carrying position to front carry (facing in and out) only. The Ergo Baby Carrier can be used in a variety of different carrying positions, including back carries! Use for front facing, hip/side carry, and back carry, piggy-back style.
One of the most often reported reviews of the Baby Bjorn is the fact that it is UNCOMFORTABLE on the wearer after only a few short weeks of use. The Baby Bjorn is designed entirely different than the Ergo Baby Carrier, and your child’s weight is not dispersed to the hips or upper thighs like the Ergo. Most parents tell us it becomes increasing painful to use the Baby Bjorn once your baby weighs more than 15 pounds or so. Having made the comparison ourselves, we have to agree. The Baby Bjorn supports your baby’s full weight on your shoulders and upper back. This creates much stress on your body, and will quickly cause pain (at least this was the case for us!). Once your baby reaches 15 pounds (or around 4 months), the Baby Bjorn became almost intolerable to wear. Designed using modern backpacking features with a supportive hip belt and lightly padded shoulders, the Ergo Baby Carrier will disperse the weight of your baby to your hips and thighs, making it much easier and more comfortable to carry even a 40 pound baby! In fact, the Ergo is so comfortable to wear, it makes a perfect baby carrier for grandparents to use, as well!
The Ergo Baby Carrier is perfect for the WHOLE family!
Another remarkably important difference between the Baby Bjorn and the Ergo Baby Carrier is how your baby is actually held and in the carrier itself. A painful condition known as spondylolisthesis is a common result of a baby being carried in some baby carriers by the crotch, similar to what we see in the Baby Bjorn. This position is not recommend by chiropractors and family physicians as it places excessive stress on the base of a baby’s delicate and developing spine. To prevent this spinal stress, the key is to have your baby always sitting with their knees at the same level as their bottom, and never below. The Ergo Baby Carrier is ergonomically designed to hold your baby in the healthiest position possible - a semi-squat or sitting position, where your baby’s legs are spread to hug your front, back or hips. This position is the same position used to treat hip dysplasia in young children, and promotes correct development and alignment of your baby’s hip sockets. The Ergo Baby Carrier prevents compression of the spine due to it’s unique design!
The Ergo Baby Carrier is a MUCH better value than the Baby Bjorn for it’s overall versatility, longevity and comfort. In fact, the Ergo has been selected as a Parenting Magazine Mom-Tested Product where it received top results from the toughest critics out there - moms across the country!
