With its sleek lines and pared down profile, it’s really incredible how one carrier can do so much in one small package. When tasked with the idea of creating a baby carrier that not only fit without an insert, but offered all positions, our designers took to heart how important baby’s position, as well as the ergonomics, was. Not only that but to create something easy to use that fit a variety of body types and baby ages. We are thrilled to offer the Ergobaby Omni 360, for when you need all the options!
This carrier differs greatly in its fit and feel than the All Position 360, with a buckle waistband with lumbar support and double adjust, ensuring even, comfortable support. It narrows via tabs on the waistband, allowing you to adjust the width of the seat to support the size of your baby, from birth on. In order to support a newborn without an insert, the headrest folds inside, outside when baby no longer needs it, and up for a taller body as baby grows. The buckles are located
According to his sister Kay, as a child Keith Haring was always drawing. Although he’s associated with New York City, Keith was born in Pennsylvania. He graduated from high school and discovered quickly that he had little interest in becoming a commercial graphic artist, and moved to New York City in 1978 to attend the School of Visual Arts and be immersed in the city’s vibrant alternative arts community. Part of which was developing on the streets, and by 1980 he was drawing his signature line drawings in New York’s subways. Creating as many as several hundred by 1985. Concepts such as birth, death, love and war, immediately recognizable visual language spoke to not just a street audience, but galleries and museums as well. He even collaborated with children, other artists and in the presence of people so he could engage in real time.
Word quickly spread of his whimsical, colorful, relatable art that was easy to understand. Accessibility was important to him, and while his art was beginning
Spring is the perfect time to talk about eco-friendly and sustainable living practices. Not only is everything in bloom, full of new life, but April 22nd is also Earth Day! As parents we all want to make the best choices for our children, but often we forget to keep Mother Earth in mind. Green parenting, and choosing eco-friendly options, doesn’t have to be a tedious chore. You also don’t have to be a compost-heaping, homestead-having professional to help reduce your family’s carbon footprint. (Although if you are a compost pro, I could use some of your knowledge!) In an effort to make the world just a little bit greener, I’m sharing five super simple ways to go green as a new parent!
1. Buy Secondhand
One of the most fun parts of expecting a baby is diving into the world of baby gear! Cribs, bassinets, baby carriers, and tiny clothing… ahh! All the heart eyes! While it’s incredibly tempting to rush to the nearest baby store and stock up on all the shiny, new things, you may be able to
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, but for all things parenting, Ergobaby: Love Carries On. It is an inclusive space open to all on this journey of caregiving, where questions

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 [youtube]https://youtu.be/KdTAjNoT-Jo[/youtube]
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! The three-hour long event flew by, full of a delicious catered lunch, a panel discussion by doctors, midwives, doulas, and lactation specialists, and a huge giveaway from Babylist at the very end. It was a great time had by all, and one ofSpring is delivering new life, new buds and Ergobaby's newest collection. For our Spring 2016 Collection, we go to the vibrant city of Nashville to highlight real Ergobaby families enjoying their everyday experiences while keeping their babies close and part of the action. Nashville, home to musicians and creatives, serves as a beautiful backdrop to showcase these authentic families enjoying everyday life. We explore the beautiful outdoors and wander the cultural sites Nashville has to offer.
