ERGO Carriers
ERGO Baby Carriers are the most versatile, hands-free baby carriers on the market. They are suitable for newborns (with the Infant Insert accessory) to preschoolers and can be worn on your back, front or hip.
The ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for baby’s physical development and eliminates compression on baby’s spine. The wide shoulder straps and waist belt distribute baby’s weight evenly, alleviating physical strain for parents. Baby’s weight is drawn in towards parent’s centre of gravity, making the baby feel lighter.
ERGO offers continued support when a baby sling or front carrier is no longer comfortable. It is lighter and more secure than a hard-frame baby back-pack.
ERGO Baby Carriers come with detailed instructional DVD.
Be amazed at how light your child will feel. Enjoy the freedom!

EllaRoo Wrap
Made of 100% cotton handwoven Guatemalan fabric, the EllaRoo Wrap has that just-right stretch, to form around you and baby, without being bouncy. We currently have these gorgeous fabric choices, woven for EllaRoo by a cooperative of weavers in Guatemala.
The EllaRoo Wrap is lightweight and easy to manipulate, compared to thicker wraparound baby carriers. For parents in warm climates, this means the Wrap is cool and breathable. For parents in cold climates, this means that it can be used under a winter jacket without making you feel (and look) like a polar bear.
The simplicity of design make this the most versatile baby carrier you can find. You can carry your child from birth through the toddler years, on the front or back.
Features
- Designed for comfortable use from birth to 16kg (35 lbs) 68cm (27″) wide, several lengths, with sizing as follows:
2.7 m rebozo-length (Good for hip/cradle carry, hot weather, and quick trips!)
3.6 m (Good for short wraps: short cross, rucksack, hip cross, etc.)
4.2 m up to 59kg and 1.62m (130lbs and 5’4″)
