The Ergo carrier is one of my favorite baby carriers! I love that it can easily be used by everyone and even has proven effective with a dear friend of mine who has some major back issues. The Ergo can carry your child from infancy all the way to toddler hood and does it all with ease and class.

Up until now, Ergo had an Infant Insert that was ok to handle, but definitely had a learning curve. We were sent the brand new Heart to Heart insert and I am completely impressed! The brand new insert makes carrying your infant even easier. What makes the Heart to Heart infant insert so much easier is that you can now carry your infant in the tummy to tummy position (hence the name). Before, you had angle the infant in more of a sling position which took some practice to get secure.

The Heart to Heart allows your infant to maintain a healthy spine, by supporting the hip joint, pelvis, and leg position of your child. It has extra cushions to support the natural curvature of your baby's spine. There is also added padding to support your baby's neck.

The brand new Heart to Heart Infant Insert retails anywhere from $25-$38 depending on if you would like the organic version. I am so glad to see a company that I already believe in so strongly taking steps to make a great product even better! It is such a great time to have a baby lately! There are so many new fantastic products out there that help make your life easier!

You may remember a few months back my review on the Ergo Baby Carrier. I absolutely love this carrier and recommend it to everyone I know who is pregnant or just recently had a baby. So many of my friends, acquaintances, and even strangers have nothing but praise for this baby carrier! It is honestly the only carrier you will ever need!

The Ergo Baby Carrier allows you to carry your child several different ways: back, front, hip, and there is also an infant insert option. Ergo also has some great accessories to make your baby wearing experience even more enjoyable! You can be completely hands free with their backpack and front pouch. Both of these add-ons attach directly to the Ergo carrier giving you more mobility and freedom! The Ergo will hold your baby until approximately 40 pounds!

For those of you who have not heard of the Ergo Carrier it is most definitely the best bang for your buck! I tell all my friend not to even think about wasting their money on a cheaper version because you will ultimately end up purchasing the Ergo! The thick padding on the shoulder straps and the design around the waist makes this comfortable even for my dear friend who has a terrible back problem.

There are several different color options as well as organics. Prices vary but are usually around $105.00. When you compare this price to others it may seem expensive, but you honestly have to way out your options. Do you want a cheap carrier that you will be unsatisfied with and taking back to the store, or do you want to put a little bit more and truly invest in something you will love and that will last? If I had enough money this would be what I bought for every baby shower gift! That is how much I believe in it!

There is an amazing online baby store out there that has personally tested each item available! Parenting by Nature carefully selects items based on quality, integrity and value. A family owned and operated business in Canada, Parenting by Nature, Inc. has been selling cloth diapers, baby slings, and natural baby products since 2004.

The goal of Parenting by Nature is to help support moms and parents during this special time by providing a variety of services, information and envirnomentally healthy products. The have some helpful guides available on their website as well (Cloth Diapering 101 and Babywearing 101).

This fabulous store was even mentioned in the book Green For Life and Ecoholic. What I love is that you know that each and every product WORKS and has been tested by a caring family who only wants to offer the best!

An example of one of the wonderful products they carry is the Pikkolo Baby Carrier! One of the greatest features of this particular baby carrier is that you will never need to buy another piece to go with it! The Pikkolo can accomodate from 8 lbs to 40 lbs! It is also the only baby carrier I have seen that can actually be considered ergonomic in the forward facing front carry position! The Pikkolo can be used forward facing, rear facing, hip carry, or back carry.

Personally, I think that this baby carrier is definitely worth the money since you will never need another one! You will never have to buy extra pieces to accomodate an infant, and you have the full range of carrying positions! The padded and wide shoulder straps help to make the carrier extremely comfortable. I also love the soft feel of the fabric! The waist is also wonderful because it does not have to sit low on your hips forcing you to pull your pants up all day long!

You can purchase the Pikkolo Baby Carrier from the Parenting By Nature website....or you can win one here!

I made the mistake of choosing one of the inexpensive carriers for my baby registry when I was pregnant. I thought, why would anyone spend so much money on a carrier? Well, I soon found out why!! You get what you pay for! The carrier I registered for was HORRIBLE! It only allowed you to carry from the front (forward and back facing) and by the time Graham was 3 months old the strain on my back was unbearable!

One of my close friends has a terrible back and experienced the same thing with her carrier. She is the one who brought my attention to the ERGO Baby Carrier first! Once she told me about it I knew it had to be one of the best on the market. Her back is so bad that it completely goes out and she has to walk around bent in half! If she has no trouble with the Ergo... then I am a believer!

I recently had the opportunity to try the Ergo myself and I am sold! I can't believe that I can put my almost 2 year old son in the carrier and be comfortable when I couldn't even carrier him at 3 months old in the other carrier! Amazing! It creates a natural sitting position for your child which is better for you and your baby!

(He has the pacifier and the blanket for these shots bc he was so sleepy!)

The ERGO Baby Carrier is also extremely versatile. You can carry your child in the front, the back or on the hip! You can even carry your infant using the infant insert. Every Ergo comes with a hood you can use if they fall asleep to support their head (thank you for thinking of that)! The versatility is what makes the ERGO Baby Carrier so practical! You will only need to buy one carrier and it will last you from birth until 40 pounds!

I would recommend the ERGO Baby Carrier to anyone, especially if you have frequent back trouble or do a lot of baby wearing! The original carrier retails for about $105.00! They also have a sport version as well as organic and come with several different helpful accessories!
