ALL I NEED!

Slings are wonderful and I was somewhat content with a very top brand a friend bestowed upon me. Yes, I still had some troubleshooting. My shoulder and upper back ached fiercely after an hour and I still wasn't hands free. I had to support my baby when I bent down to dress a toddler or load the washing machine. It grew very painful on strenuous exercise walks but it was all I knew. I didn't complain and enjoyed wearing my baby ... UNTIL I discovered the 'Ergo' (named appropriately because it is designed to be ergonomically correct for you and your baby's back and chiropractic recommended.)

Hello, I bought the ergo (new generation) several weeks ago and have carried my six month old daughter everywhere in it on my back. She loves it. The funniest thing is that here in Holland where baby wearing is the norm, a carrier like this is unknown. Most mothers wear a didymos style sling in the beginning and then switch to the Bjorn - (which is back breaking). I have mothers (and fathers, and grandmothers!) stopping me on the street asking me about it and where to get it. I think in the past two weeks I have given your website link to at least 15 people! I am happy to have started this trend in Amsterdam. I feel it is by far the most comfortable and practical sling I have tried (and I have tried MANY). I am so happy with my ergo! I even breastfed her in it on the go once - (this made me feel like I had advanced to a new level of motherhood!).

As a chiropractor and mother I highly recommend he ERGO baby carrier. There are so many benefits to the baby and the wearer. The design creates optimal positioning for the baby, reducing unnecessary stress to the spine and creating a leg position that is ideal for healthy maturation of the hip joint.  The wearer of the ERGO is also comfortable, with the child's weight being distributed evenly, thus reducing stress to the wearers spine.  This eliminates the "tight neck and shoulders" that many of my patients complain of after using other baby carriers on the market. There are also many benefits to the baby facing inward whether on front or back. Baby wearing creates comfort and security in a child. They get a full appreciation for the wearer's heartbeat, smell, touch, expressions, and response to stimuli, thus teaching them how to interact and respond to stimuli themselves. I love my ERGO and am thrilled to have such an amazing product that I can provide to patients and/or visitors to my office. My son Jackson also LOVES the ERGO! When he sees it I have to smile as he hands it to me and says, "back, back?"......so he climbs on my back and off we go!

Greetings from Germany

About Us . . .

The 10 children of Brian and Charity Callis

. . . We are SO THANKFUL to have such a wonderful bunch of children.  Each one is unique and has incredible skills and personalities.  I'm SO HAPPY I didn't give up at just a couple or a few (when the the older ones were all little).  Yes, four in car seats, three in cloth diapers.  Boy!!  Do I wish I had an ERGO back then! 

After 10 babies and 7 baby carriers, we've found the most versatile, comfortable baby carrier for our family!  Yes, my older sons and daughters even use it to carry their younger siblings!  I love the way it supports my baby's weight from my hips and not my neck and shoulders.  I like the option of doing my laundry with baby on my back with full range of motion for my arms!

I hope you're able to TRY one out.  We offer an EXTENDED 90-day guarantee.  That means, if for any reason, you find you're not using your ERGO as you hoped within 90 days, you are welcome to return it for a FULL refund.  All you have to do is return it to us (you don't even have to wash it) and we will give you a check for the FULL amount that you paid.  It's that simple.

The Baby Wearing Revolution

We are definitely in the midst of a babywearing revolution in which parents feel the need to be productive with their babies close, at the same time allowing them freedom of movement. Anthropological evidence has shown that the human pattern of infant care has long been one of carrying babies. Indigenous cultures wore their babies and baby wearing appears to have originated as a part of the nomadic culture of the early Mesolithic hunters and gatherers in Asia. Early Pleistocene migrations probably brought the tradition to North America where the Native American Indians had an infant carrier called a Cradleboard. Yet it is only in recent years that researchers have confirmed the wisdom of this timeless practice and enlightened us with an alternative way of raising children.

The benefits of wearing our babies are wide ranging apart from making the parenting process easier and more fun. The goal is to raise well-integrated children who have strong self-preservation instincts and the ability to peacefully discern and articulate their needs. Through baby wearing our new generation of babies can be ushered into our world with the best loving support possible while promoting parent-child bonding.  This ERGO baby carrier is great for hiking and gardening, housework and shopping, traveling and giving active parents the freedom to go with their baby safely attached. Worn on the front, it is perfect for nursing and simply holding your baby close to your heart.


After many years of studying many cultures and how they incorporate baby wearing, William and Martha Sears' conclusion says it all. "Doesn't every parent in every culture have these two simple desires: to make life easier for themselves and to make life better for their baby? Baby wearing does both." The ERGO Baby Carrier baby carriers are just the tool to make this possible.

Why choose The ERGO Baby Carrier? There are numerous baby carriers and baby slings on the market. The ERGO Baby Carrier, however, is unique as it facilitates carrying your baby from newborn (with the Infant Insert) until 4 years old. The ergonomic design supports both you and your baby in the most comfortable and healthy way possible. The ERGO Baby Carrier has been selected as a Parenting magazine Mom-tested product. Products were evaluated by Parenting's own editors, then reality-tested by the toughest critics out there - moms across the country.  

What makes a baby carrier different from baby slings? A baby sling is a pouch that the baby hangs in to one side and tends to throw the body out of alignment over prolonged use. A baby carrier will help keep your body aligned and alleviate back pain so you can carry your baby longer. The ERGO Baby Carrier, in particular, distributes the baby's weight evenly on the parent's body because it has two shoulder straps and a very supportive waist belt. When using baby slings, a hand is often needed to support the baby, but baby carriers leave both hands free. Over and over we are told, out of all the baby slings, baby carriers, and baby backpacks parents have tried, The ERGO, is the one they have been looking for.
 
The ERGO Baby Carrier's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby's weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch which most other designs require. The ERGO also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent. At infancy, The ERGO with the Infant Insert, supports your newborn like a baby sling while having both hands free to work. It can be worn on the front, back or hip position (shown on this page).

Converted Backpack User    

With my first two children, my favorite season was from 6 months to 18 months, which I coined “The Backpack Season”. I could throw them in my little Gerry Backpack and get hours of work done and Baby was completely content supervising from their perch over my shoulder. I don’t know if it’s my age, the fact that I have two other children, or what, but Baby #3 was wearing me out in the backpack! I couldn’t last for half an hour without being exhausted from the weight of my twenty pound son. Now, with the Ergo, I am once again able to cook, vacuum, walk, or anything else a busy wife and mother finds in her life to do with Baby #3 once again supervising from his perch. A great delight is when my 7 year old daughter packs her little brother around to help Mom out. My three year old son is eagerly waiting until he is big enough to carry his brother on his back too! Take away my port-a-crib, my stroller, my tippy-cups, but DON’T TAKE AWAY MY ERGO!

Malin & Baby Sofia
Charity, Thank you for taking the time to check back with me.  I use the carrier daily & it was awesome to have on my long trip to Sweden to visit family over the holidays.  I did not even take a stroller with me just carried Sofia on all the flight connections.  She loves it and sometimes cries when I take her out of it!  I use it around the house and when I run errands, grocery store or just go out for a stroll.  We are both very happy!  Thank you for much.

We love our ERGO!! Thank you for such an awesome product!

I just wanted to let you know that I ordered my carrier on Tuesday and received it Friday morning. Much much faster than I expected!! Thanks so  much. I just put it on and took my daughter on an hour hike and I can not believe how comfy it is. It is by far the best carrier ever. My shoulders did not hurt at all!!!! I had a pack similar to a Bjorn and a Kelty Kangaroo and this is far far better than both of those. I could never last an hour in those other two. My shoulders would be killing me by that time. This pack you have created is the best! Thanks so much!

I just had to write to tell you that I'm still loving my Classic ERGO. It's now about 2 1/2 years old and we used it until my first was about 2 when she demanded to be able to walk everywhere. Now I'm using it for my new baby who is six months old. I was so happy when I was finally able to use it with her. I tried using the infant insert with it, but didn't like it. Now I'm able to just put her in it sitting upright on my front and we both love it. And people are still telling me that they've never seen one! I can't believe it because I know so many people who have them now. Just wanted to let you know how happy I still am with my ERGO!

Danielle and baby Maggie
Thank you so much for such a wonderful product! Ii thought it was expensive at first, but it is well worth the money. My daughter will fall asleep in the carrier, and I can type around her, which lets me get several hours of work done! i was starting to wonder how I could work and take care of her, and this has seriously solved my problems. plus it's great for walks, too! thanks again.

Ivan Kuek, Singapore

Aloha. First of all, I would like to thank you for designing such a wonderful baby carrier. As a father of 2 sons, I have tried so many different types of carrier and nothing comes close to the ERGO. It is THE BEST baby carrier in the market! My wife and I bring out the ERGO everyday as my youngest son will only sleep when we put him in the ERGO. We call it his sleeping bag! While we carry the ERGO along the streets, many parents approached us to enquire about the carrier. Thus, we thought maybe we can bring it in to Singapore and share this wonderful carrier with them. Please send to us the application form as well as the Terms & Conditions to be a wholesaler for ERGO. Hope to hear from you soon
