Ergobaby Bundle of Joy & Giveaway!

 

As you probably already know, I love babywearing.  It not only soothes your child, it keeps your hands free to actually get stuff done!  However, I do have to admit I didn't find the right carrier for Kenzie until she was a wee bit older.  Hubs told me a friend suggested the Ergo and I immediately purchased it (a bit girly for Bean) and it was a lifesaver.  It was one of the only things that lulled Kenzie to sleep and eventually became a routine for her to hop on my back to fall asleep at night.  With Bean due in a little over a week (OMG) I am happy that he will be cozying up to me in his own Bundle of Joy from Ergobaby.   

The Bundle of Joy is perfect as a gift or even for yourself.  It includes the awesome Ergobaby carrier with a matching infant insert which can be used from the day you bring your baby home.  The infant insert is fantastic: a small plush cocoon for your newborn baby.  It can be used from newborn to approximately 4-5 months.  It comes with an additional pillow insert that is used in connection with the shell for correct seating and head/neck support.  I can't wait to try this with Bean.

The organic Navy Blue carrier is awesome as expected.  You can use it up to 45 pounds!  Both the body and lining are made of 100% organic cotton.  It is lightweight and rolls up nicely to fit inside your diaper bag.  There is a small pouch on the front of the carrier which houses the sleeping hood.  There is also a zippered pouch on the front to store small accessories.         

I love that one can use the Ergobaby carrier in three positions: front, hip and back.  The carry is ergonomic meaning that proper facing-in spread-squat seating position supports baby’s hip, pelvis, and spinal development.  I primarily used the carrier in front and back with Kenzie.  The carrier also have a wide range of fit: Adults from 5’ to 6’5” body height.  To wear the carrier in the front just buckle on waist, place tot in carrier facing you, pull shoulder straps over shoulders and buckle behind.  So simple and quick.  It works in the same manner for the back carry but you just flip the carrier around.  I love the generous size of the sleeping hood (you can see it is almost the length of the carrier).  It snaps onto the shoulders with ease.

Kenzie found this carrier to be most comfortable and easily fell asleep in it.  I purchased the additional teething pads to attach to the straps because she would just gnaw on the straps which would lead to more frequent washings.  With the teething pads, I just threw those in the wash when grimy without subjecting my carrier to more washes than needed.  Even to this day, Hubs will strap Kenzie into the carrier if she falls asleep while out and he needs to run into the market.  It's easier than carrying a sleeping child with one arm, pushing the cart with the other and shopping.  Bonus: you can throw the entire carrier into the machine for washing!

You can see that this carrier has a very slim profile yet is comfortable for your tot.  I didn't struggle at all even at 38 weeks preggo - we are both comfortable.  I absolutely recommend Ergobaby for yourself or as a lovely gift :)
