Always mobile with Ergobaby stretchers and slings

The baby is carried in the womb for almost a year during pregnancy. A baby feels safe and secure there. When it is born, a baby discovers a whole new and unfamiliar world. To give a newborn a safe environment, close physical contact is very important. Baby carriers and slings offer numerous advantages from which you and your child will benefit. These include not only the close bond between the person carrying and the child, but also the ergonomically advantageous position of your little one. Not to mention the fact that a baby carrier system is extremely practical in everyday life. While your child snuggles up close to your chest or back and rests, you also have the freedom to use your hands without restriction. We offer a variety of Ergobaby carriers and slings in our range. To help you find the perfect companion for the future, you will find lots of useful information here. This will help you choose the ideal carrier or sling for your family.

The difference between a baby carrier and a sling

A newborn baby needs a safe and cozy environment, which is best guaranteed if you carry your child as close to you as possible. A baby carrier or sling is ideal for this.

Slings are particularly soft and cuddly, which makes them particularly suitable for newborn babies. They snuggle up perfectly to the person wearing them and the baby. Initially, putting on the slings correctly requires some practice and you need to learn at least one tying technique. However, once you have mastered this small challenge, attaching the elastic sling is extremely easy. The elastic fabric makes it easy to prepare the sling and then all you have to do is put your baby in it. Our range includes the Ergobaby Aura sling, which can be used from birth (3.2 kg) to around one year of age (11.3 kg). Aura is made of viscose, a light and elastic fabric that does not irritate baby's sensitive skin. It has no hard edges, buttons or zippers that could damage newborns' skin. The breathable fabric ensures that the baby is pleasantly cool to wear.

After using a sling, you can then switch to an Ergobaby carrier. Alternatively, you can use a baby carrier from birth. The big advantage is that baby carriers are easy to put on and take off. Most baby carriers can also be used over a longer period of time than a sling.

The perfect carrier and carrying position for every age

Ergobaby offers an extensive range of baby carriers and slings. When deciding on a sling or carrier, it is first important to know which carrier is suitable for which age group and in which carrying position it can be used.

The Aura sling is particularly recommended for the period from birth, as the fabric is extremely soft and there are no buckles that could pinch your baby's delicate skin. Read more about the benefits of a baby sling in the paragraph above. Alternatively, you can also use a baby carrier from birth. The Omni Dream, Omni Breeze, Adapt, Omni 360 and Embrace models are suitable for this. With the exception of the Embrace carrier, these baby carriers can be used until around the age of four, when the baby has reached an approximate body weight of 20 kg. The Embrace carrier can be used up to around the first year of life (11.3 kg), as it is more like a sling in its design and hugs your body with the wide fabrics of the shoulder straps. The Away carrier is suitable for your child from around the fourth month until around the 36th month (5.4-15.9 kg) and is ideal after using a sling, for example. There are a few things to consider when using a carrier in a specific carrying position, and not every carrier is suitable for every position or every age of your child.

The newborn insert

The newborn insert is an optional accessory and is used from birth (from 3.2 kg) up to around 4 months of age to ensure that your baby sits optimally and in an ergonomic position within the carrier. The insert ensures that your little one's legs are squatted and slightly spread out. The thighs are well supported and the back has a slightly rounded shape. The head and neck are also supported in the best possible way.

The newborn insert is placed inside the carrier to give even the smallest babies an optimal position. As soon as your baby is big enough, the insert is no longer needed. Please note, however, that not all Ergobaby carriers require a newborn insert. Therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to the weight or age from which you can use the carrier. Some models can be used from birth without a separate newborn insert.

A carrier for every person

Every Ergobaby carrier is individually adjustable and can be perfectly adapted to the needs of each person. This means that the carriers are suitable from petite to large sizes (XS-XXL). The adjustment straps can be easily adjusted to the right size in just a few simple steps, so that you can quickly and comfortably find the perfect fit for you in everyday life. With most Ergobaby carriers, the shoulder straps can even be crossed over for particularly petite people. The slings also automatically adjust to the individual body size and stature when tied to ensure an optimum fit.

Out and about with the baby carrier in bad weather

In adverse weather conditions, you have the option of carrying your baby very close to you in the carrier to protect them with your own body heat. However, if the conditions are particularly uncomfortable, you can use an all-weather cover for your baby carrier, which can be easily attached to the carrier with press studs. The warm fleece lining ensures that your little one stays nice and warm, while the water-repellent outer layer and hood protect against wind and rain. For added comfort for the wearer, pockets have been integrated for the hands, which are also lined with fleece.
