Today is an exciting day for me and for you too, hopefully. Why? I get to share one of my absolute favorite products in the entire world- the Ergobaby carrier. Was that a wee-bit dramatic? Yes. Is it true? Yes! The Ergobaby carrier has changed the way I parent.
With Bryson, we tried several different carriers, but it took a while to find “the one.” We lugged around a stroller for most of his infancy. Now, I’m not dissing strollers, but after finding the Ergobaby carrier and realizing how comfortable it can be to wear your child, our stroller became abandoned. I only wish I had found the Ergobaby carrier when Bryson was younger.
When Bella was born, I felt completely at easy with baby wearing. She and I went everywhere together thanks to the Ergobaby carrier.
Have you ever tried to grocery shop with an itty-bitty baby? You have a few options 1) Place the infant seat in your buggy which leaves no room for groceries. 3) Place the infant seat on top of the shopping cart which is dangerous and not recommended. 3) Carry a stroller, but I’m not sure how you push a shopping cart and a stroller? 4) Wear your baby. All problems solved.
Bella and I did almost all of the shopping together from the time she was a few weeks old thanks to our Ergobaby carrier. She was born with a head-full of beautiful, dark hair and it caught people’s attention like crazy. Everywhere we went, people would stop me to comment on her hair. Here’s where the Ergobaby carrier comes in- they could not get in her face without first getting in my face, which means I didn’t have to worry about random strangers touching my baby.
I’ve worn Bella at the Tennessee Aquarium, the Discovery Museum, at Day Out with Thomas, at a parade and a pumpkin patch, while out looking at Christmas lights and at at the zoo, while shopping, cooking and cleaning. So you see, the Ergobaby carrier has been my best friend since having Bella.
The Ergobaby carrier is a structured carrier, not a wrap or a sling. I can tell you all the things I love about it, how it’s given me the freedom to be out & about with my baby and have my hands free to tend to my three year old, but I’ll let the features and specifications do the rest.

I could seriously ramble on and on about the Ergobaby carrier. I’ve owned several different styles and I currently have the Original Ergobaby carrier and the Spring Green Performance. I love them equally and won’t part with either of them until my baby days are over, then I’ll pass them down and bless another mommy with the best baby carrier ever.

I dreamed of an Ergobaby when Leo was born, it was just out of our price range. I have a carrier that I love wearing him in, just need to master the back carry solo 🙂
Forgot, I would want the gray, such a great shade.
I forgot to say that i would choose the black one. But all of them are pretty. I havent ever use one but i would like to try an to get over bein scared of my baby falling out of the bottom
There is NO way a baby can fall out of the bottom of the Ergobaby carrier. It wraps around your waist and buckles, so babe is completely secure. 🙂
Galaxy Grey
I’ve never tried the Ergo with the infant insert, I would love to do that!
I want a carrier so bad but it’s out of our price range while I’m on maternity leave.
Oh, and I like the gray shade the best
Galaxy gray!
I would choose chocolate
I love the galaxy gray!
I have friends who have LOVED their ERGO. I am expecting a little boy the end of October and I would love to try one out for myself! I have seen firsthand how positive babywearing is and I would love to have that experience with my little guy!
I would choose the Navy!
I think that the Ergo looks awesome! I’d love to try it out!
Black!
This is a great review. My daughter is expecting in October and this would be awesome for her to use with her new baby boy. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I would love the Navy or Black! <3
Dark chocolate
I would love to win one!!!
I’d choose Dark Chocolate 🙂
I would pick galaxy gray!!
I sure wish I had access to these beautiful carriers when my 4 girls were babies! My hip wouldn’t hurt so much now 🙂 love them..my grand baby could sure use this!
would love to try to Ergo the next time around!
The galaxy grey is amazing!!!
I would choose the Galaxy Grey, love the name & color lol!
I would choose the navy!
I never got to use an Ergo carrier with my first daughter but used a Mei Tei. I love baby wearing and the closeness it brings for mom & baby. It’s also nice that while baby wearing you can still do household stuff too!
The Ergo is the best carrier in my opinion!
I have a carrier similar to this but would love a real ergo!
I love the Galaxy Grey I would choose that one! 🙂
The Ergobaby carrier looks so comfortable compared the crappy ones I have now.
I would choose the dark chocolate(:
I would choose the dark chocolate. Being a single income family, this didn’t fit in our budget, ive wanted one for awhile!
To have one of these would be a dream come true. I despise bulky strollers and uncomfortable carriers.
I would go with Galaxy Grey or Dark Chocolate!
The only carrier I’ve ever had was a Rockin’ Baby sling and I loved it, but it could’ve been better. I’ve always heard so many good things about the Ergo carriers and I would love to try one this time around if we can afford it…or win! 🙂
I’d go with either Galaxy Grey or Dark Chocolate.
I would love the Galaxy Grey carrier. The stars on it are so cute and it would probably be cooler in the sun.
Thanks for the great review. I have a few friends who have recommended them as well, but it was nice to hear from another source how great they are!
Either Galaxy Grey or Black.
Galaxy Grey
The galaxy grey, it’s beautiful!
love the grey one!!
I would pick the navy color!
Oh I love the ergo and I would love a to try that new insert!
Galaxy Gray.
galaxy grey!
i had an infant insert for my ergo and hated it! I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t get it to work well, and I ended up giving up until my little one was about 4 months, then using the ergo on its own
I would choose the dark chocolate.
I’m expecting my first and I know I want a carrier. The infant insert makes this carrier look so comfy.
The grey one because it is a neutral color.
I love the review and I love the picture that represent a cute baby in the ergo baby carrier in the picture.
the chocolate one!
I would choose the gray or brown carrier.
Thank you for sharing all of your photo’s of you and your beautiful little girl. It really showed all of the cuddly was to use the Ergobaby carrier.
I would choose galaxy grey.
Galaxy Grey. I have seen it in person & I love it!!
Love the bonding moments with you & bella in the carrier. too cute!!
love reading your thoughts on the ergo….i’ve tried a ton of the carriers and nothing seemed to work great all around. this is the one i haven’t given a fair shot. maybe now is my chance. i love the galaxy grey. what a beautiful picture of you and your daughter in the carrier. so sweet. all the best!!
Galaxy Grey
Its hard to find a good carrier that a newborn can fit into, I’m thankful for the infant insert. I don’t currently have a Ergo.
i think the Dark Chocolate is a real nice color.
I’d have to go with black so my hubby could get in on it too 🙂
Thank you!
I currently have the moby wrap and I do like it, but there are things I really DON’T. Having three kids 3 and under and the youngest being only 3 months, it seems a baby carrier this would be awesome right now. The moby is missing the support and leads to backaches and sweaty babies!
I have a Moby wrap too. I wore it a few times when Bella was a newborn, but quickly came back to the Ergobaby carrier. 🙂
I also noticed you said you have been to the Tennessee aquarium… We have just moved into Nashville, are you familiar with that area? Any cool things for kids?!
Too funny, I’ve been looking for a carrier for over 25lbs (we have 2 with that limit) for my toddler; and came across this on pinterest!! (and now your blog 🙂
Gotta love Pinterest! The Ergobaby carrier will hold up to 45 pounds, so it’s a great investment. Glad you found me & hope you visit again! 🙂
I like the black.
I would choose navy
I would choose galaxy grey.
I Never tried a carrier with my daughter but I would love to. THanks for the great review. Love the infant insert option, I was always worried about that.
I would go with Galaxy Grey!
I have never tried a carrier before, but I would love to with my 2nd coming in November.
I Love The Galaxy Grey
I would choose the Black.
I would choose Black. Thanks for the chance! 🙂
I definitely have been wanting a new carrier, especially now that we have another little one on the way. I would love the Galaxy Gray!!!
I’d pick the Galaxy Grey

I’d have to go with Dark Chocolate on this one 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I would love the Galaxy Gray carrier. I am about to have a toddler and new baby so I need to upgrade my carrier so bad.
I would choose Black
glaxy grey!! love!

I like the range in colors and that there are three carrying options
The Galaxy Grey.
Great product, backed by a great name. Would be a great addition to my baby gear. Love the Navy Blue

I borrowed my friend’s Ergo, it was amazing, so comfortable and easy to adjust. My son loved it!
Dark chocolate!
I would LOVE to try an Ergo out – I’ve heard so many great things about them. We’ve used other carriers in the past & always had back issues – heard these are wonderful on your back! & the kiddos love them too! 🙂
I would go with galaxy grey!
I like the weight range and the infant insert is awesome! Never seen one of these!
i love the galaxy grey
i have heard such wonderful things about hte ergo.. i would LOVE to have one so my hands are free to chase my 20 month old!
I would pick the Galaxy Grey
I’ve heard nothing but great reviews from this product. With #2 on the way, this would be a great way for me to carry #2 and push #1 in the stroller.
I would choose Galaxy Grey
Grey! Totally!!
Dark chocolate or black… can’t decide!
I’m trying to win for a friend… but I own the galaxy grey. My son loves it and we carried him in the infant carrier as well. I love the whole thing… but maybe a potential to crossover like the Beco would be cool.
Galaxy Grey
I like the black.
Galaxy Grey
We live in the same place! I am in Cleveland and love to take my boys to all of the places you mentioned! I have a two yr old who hates to sit in his stroller for too long and the Ergo sounds fantastic to have! I am pregnant with a baby girl (Due in December) and an Ergo would come in handy for sure.
I like Galaxy Grey
Galaxy grey
I would love to win! I’d choose Galaxy Grey or Chocolate. Hard decision!
Love the galaxy grey!
Love your pics! I love the padded straps and the waist belt! I bet it is so comfortable! Would love this for baby #3 due soon!
I would choose the black one
i would go with black 🙂
I would love to have an Ergo. I have heard great things about them. My lo’s always have loved being worn, so this would be a great addition
I’m expecting my first baby in October and I’m so excited about all the baby wearing options there are! The ergo carrier looks so nice and comfortable, I’m definitely planning to buy one, that is, if I don’t win it! Fingers crossed!
Galaxy Grey!
I’d definitely go for the Galaxy Gray! Great giveaway! Thanks so much!
That looks fantastic. Our first attempt at a baby carrier ended up in a diaper disaster…pro-tip, don’t cram a baby with a full diaper into a carrier she does not want to go into…
The organic carriers appeal to me the most. I would choose the Navy bundle to use w/ my sweet 4-month-old baby girl.
like the navy! thank you!
I would choose black
Galaxy Grey for sure, I love it!
I love wearing my baby! I’ve heard great things about the Ergo, so thanks for the giveaway! I would love the navy one! allisa_thomas@hotmail.com
I don’t own an Ergo personally, but several ladies at the story time I attend do. Your review seems to be spot on! They go on and on about how comfy it is to wear. allisa_thomas@hotmail.com
I would chose the navy one.
I hadn’t ever gotten this far in my thinking: what DO you do with a little baby while marketing or doing something else where lugging a big fat stroller around isn’t logical? Thank you for opening my eyes to a better way of living 🙂 The chocolate color is sooo pretty! That’s the one I’d wish for!
I have never used an ergo but I have heard just amazing things about it… I would love to win one to use with baby #2. I love the ease of this carrier and the different carrying options!
Galaxy Grey!
I would love the galaxy grey one. This would make my life so much easier when taking my daughter to school. I wouldn’t have to worry about a stroller and I can be with both kiddies at the same time. Great product!
I would pick navy
Galaxy Gray
I love the navy colored carrier!
The galaxy grey is beautiful!
The black one is darling and very sleek, it would be amazing to carry my babe in something comfortable for once.
I would like black…it would go with any style
I could use this for our little one. I would love the black.
Dark Chocolate
The black. It is a classic.
I would choose grey
I cannot wait to abandon the stroller
I would choose Navy, looks like an awesome baby carrier!
I really enjoyed your review! I love how this carrier seats the child ergonomically! Not making them dangle by there crotch area… It also look like it’s great for not causing pain in the back! Sounds great to me, i’ve never tried an ergo but have heard great things about them!
Dark Chocolate — yum! 😉
Galaxy Grey!
love the galaxy grey!
i’ve heard great things about them and seem to beat the competition!
Black, please 🙂
blue for me
Navy
Everyone loves Ergo
I like the Black one!
galaxy gray
I would choose the Galazy Grey color.
If I won this giveaway, I would choose the black/camel color for my eight month old son and I. The only carrier we currently own is a Bjorn (aside from the Moby, which he does not like very much), so I would definitely love to have an Ergo! Good luck to all the other mommies who are taking part in the giveaway! I know we would all love to own an Ergo for our little ones!!
One of my favorite features of the Ergo is how easy it seems to be to wear your child on your back. One of the things I like the least about the Bjorn and Moby Wrap are the fact that I can not wear my little one on my back. Now that he is older, I believe he would like it a lot more, and it would also allow me to get more things done. (Ever tried cooking hot food while wearing your eight month old in the front? It is not fun.) 🙂
Navy
Dark Chocolate is my pick
I love how it doesn’t kill your back like the Bjorn
galaxy grey!

I’d love this kind of carrier! Last time I used a sling and I was always paranoid about the little guy suffocating!
elizabethglassturner (at) gmail (dot)com

i am most impressed with the newborn insert

It would be amazing to have an Ergo for baby #2. We had an Infantino for our 18 month old son, and it was horrible! LOVE the Galaxy Grey!
I would choose the Galaxy Grey!
Dark Chocolate
I love the Galaxy Grey, myself!
If i’d were given the oppertunity I’d pick the galaxy grey. its so stylish! I never used this brand ever but the reviews are awesome! I would love the oppertunity to own one and test one myself! Thanks for this giveaway I love when giveaways are geared toward everyday essentials especially for baby! 🙂
This is a highly recommended product! Ive never seen a carrier used for your hip! how cool and an infant insert! Your review def taught me some new things thanks!
I have a little one due soon. Can’t wait to try baby wearing. Love that the Ergobaby is also machine washable. How convenient!
lauren.uda(at)gmail(dot)com
Galaxy Grey is my favorite!

I love to wear my daughter but do not have an Ergo.

I think the shoulder straps look so comfortable. I’m all about comfort.
IT would be for a friend, but I think the Galaxy Grey
I have heard wonderful things about Ergo.. I can’t wait to use the one I have. I have a friend that is pregnant now and I’d love to win this for her.

Last year I bought one, unfortunately it was a fake one 🙁 so i hope i can win..
Galaxy Grey would be my pick! 🙂
I would love a Ergobaby carrier for my next baby. I’ve heard such great things about them!

I like the navy
I want the galaxy gray carrier
I really like that there are so many ways to wear the ergo- front, back cradle and from newborn and up. My friend even nurses her baby in it
I’d choose Navy, thanks!
Galaxy grey is out of this world! 🙂

I would choose the dark chocolate.
I love them all but the Galaxy grey is sharp..
I like Galaxy Grey 🙂
I think I would choose galaxy grey. Thanks!
My friend has an ergo, and told me that it is a MUST have!! Looking forward to having me of my own!
The black 🙂
there are soooo many of these out there! I had no clue even how to shop for one. Fortunately my pregnant da-in-law did her research and this is the one she wants
I would choose Galaxy Grey. You’re review is great and the pictures are awesome!
I would go with the black!
I’m actually in love with the galaxy grey one! 🙂
I love the fact that this offers three different ways to carry them
Dark chocolate
i love all the carrying options with this!
Galaxy Grey!
I love how convenient carriers are, and I didn’t even have a great one the first time around. Had to stop using it as the kid got too heavy, even though the carrier still lists him as within the weight limits, because it wasn’t well designed. I would love to have a more ergonomically designed carrier this time around, to really get the full benefits of use!
i’d pick galaxy grey.
i would choose navy blue
I’d pick the classic black!
Also, the Ergobaby carrier is my #1 choice for a baby carrier, mostly because I think it’s one that my husband would also like to wear. He’s said that he’d like to “wear” the baby “if we had a cool one that looked like a backpack.” So I definitely want to get one, even if I don’t get it through this. 😉
Dark Chocolate!
like the black best

Probably dark chocolate! 🙂
I love how easy it is to get off and on. With my first, I only used a wrap, which takes a lot of hassle to get on and off and get the baby into.
I would love a galaxy grey! My Ergo was stolen and I badly need a new one! 🙂
I love that I can use the Ergo with teeny babies or my 3 yr old toddler, I can use it on the front, back or side and I can store my keys and phone in the pocket! I love Ergos! 🙂
i would choose the galaxy grey carrier
I think I would go gray.
Galaxy Grey.
It looks very comfortable and easy to use.
I would love to try a ergo with my new little man!

I’ve gotta start collecting change 😉
