Baby Month: ERGO Baby Carrier {Giveaway}

One item that I'm extremely excited to use with my upcoming baby is the ERGO Baby Carrier. I've wanted one of these since my son was born, especially since unlike many baby carriers, this one can be worn in a variety of ways--on the front, back, and hip.  I'm eager to use my Organic Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee lining with this baby, especially because it will span the child's entire infant-hood and beyond.

I'm not sure what my husband and I would have done without our front carrier (not an ERGO) when our son was born. It was often the one reliable way to calm him down, by snugging him in it and taking him for a walk.  I know the ERGO will be a lifesaver with 2 kids, especially when pushing one in the stroller and being able to carry the other, hands-free.

I actually tried out my ERGO by carrying my 37lb 3 year old in it, on my back of course, (prior to being 7 months pregnant) and the Ergo is surprisingly comfortable.  No surprise, considering it has some of the best reviews for baby carriers that I've read by moms and dads.

Getting used to fastening a child into the ERGO Carrier is a little tricky at first, especially because you're so concerned about latching everything correctly, but once you get the hang of it, it's comfortable to wear and I felt secure, even with a preschooler on my back! I'm sure the baby will be even easier to manage.

ERGO Carriers comes in a variety of styles, fabrics and colors, and ERGO makes accessories like backpacks, pouches, and the Infant Insert, which I'll be buying for use in the first 4-6 months.  The Infant Insert allows you to use the ERGO for even the youngest babies by specially cushioning their floppy little heads.

I'm really looking forward to using this carrier with my baby, especially knowing that I can continue using it much longer than our front-only carrier.

WIN IT!
