The Ergo Baby Carrier is a popular soft structured backpack carrier used for newborns, babies, and toddlers, and it's easy to order online.

The Ergo Baby Carrier is a soft structured backpack for newborns, older babies, and toddlers. It can be an essential part of early parenting – the carrier is ideal for hikes, naps, and putting a sick or teething baby to sleep. This soft backpack can be used until a child is 40 pounds, so it’s a carrier that will last into the preschool years. The Ergo Baby Carrier comes in several patterns and a host of gender-neutral colors.

What Does the Ergo Baby Carrier Look Like?

The Ergo Baby Carrier is a hybrid between a mei tai or Asian baby carrier and the hard structured baby carrier. Unlike the mei tai, it has straps that clip together around the waist and between the shoulders, providing extra support. Like the mei tai, it packs away into a small bundle, so it can hide in a day pack and be used only when required.

Using the Ergo Baby Carrier With Different Ages of Children

For small babies, there is the infant insert. This turns the carrier into a sling that can support a tiny baby’s neck. An older baby can simply sit in the carrier, facing an adult and sleeping on the adult’s chest. This position is excellent for a baby’s hip development, because it is a natural sitting position. When a baby is about five or six months old and has good head control, turn the carrier around and hike with the Ergo as a backpack.

How to Put on the Ergo Baby Carrier

The Ergo snaps on in a fashion that is quite similar to a backpack. The strap clips around the waist. Those who need more width in the waist can purchase an extender. Lift the two straps over the shoulders. This moves the piece of fabric up and over the baby’s back. The fabric patch also has a zippered pocket, the ideal place to keep keys or a soother. Snap the chest straps across the chest. For babies who enjoy napping in the carrier, there is a sleeping hood that draws up and over the baby’s head.

Buy the Ergo Baby Carrier Online

For busy parents, online shopping is the way to go. Unlike a pouch sling, the Ergo does not need to be custom fit. It can be used by people from five to six and a half feet tall, and those who need a roomier carrier can purchase a waist extender. It’s the ideal carrier to order online. The Ergo Baby Carrier company ships worldwide: prices start at $105 US. For used baby carriers, create an account at The Baby Wearer to capture deals on secondhand Ergo backpacks.

The Ergo soft structured baby backpack is an ideal carrier for parents who have little space and need a carrier that will grow with their children. It's suitable for most body types and can be used for infants, toddlers, and even preschoolers. The Ergo is simple to use and can easily be purchased used or new online.
