Ergobaby & the International Baby Wearing Week
In 2011, Ergobaby acquired Orbit Baby, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of premium child travel products, including car seats and strollers that work together as a complete travel system with interchangeable seats using the patented SmartHub™ rotational interface. Ergobaby is headquartered in Los Angeles and is sold in more than 650 retailers and online sites in the United States and in more than 50 countries. In Malta you will find the Ergobaby products on www.maltamumshop.com
The Ergobaby Carrier was created in 2003 by Karin Frost in Maui, Hawaii. Karin was looking for an ergonomic, skin-to-skin yet practical and comfortable baby carrier to carry her infant son but did not find anything that was matching her criterion. Being a fashion designer, she had the idea to create one and made the first 50 herself. That is how the Ergobaby carrier was born.
The Ergobaby Carrier was the first soft-structured ergonomic carrier with a padded waistbelt introduced on the market 10 years ago and since then, while the demand for ergonomic carriers has been growing, Ergobaby has kept researching and innovating to improve the product and innovate thanks to new materials and concepts. It now has a range of more than 30 carriers in 6 different collections as well as plenty of original carrying accessories, in order to have a carrier that will fit every parent and baby.
The Ergobaby carrier
The features of the Ergobaby Original Carrier now seem pretty classic but were very innovative at the time. Innovation is back again with the 360 Ergobaby carrier that gives you the chance to wear your baby in 4 positions instead of 3, including for the first time ever a forward facing ergonomic position. In fact, Ergobaby won the Innovation Award for this baby carrier.
All Ergobaby carriers go in the washing machine so they can be cleaned easily and can be used with newborns along with the Infant Insert.
