It’s official! A 100% recommendation rate, high ratings in key areas, and the ergonomic accolade from Aktion gesunder Rücken e.V. (AGR) campaign for healthier backs! The verdict is clear: our Ergobaby Alta hip carrier and Lift hip carrier are both loved by babywearing consultants, parents, their children and by us, of course. They are also the only baby hip carriers on the market designated “back friendly” by the experts at the AGR. But what else makes our hip seats so special and why are Lift and Alta recommended as baby hip seats by so many different experts?
The advantages of the Alta hip carrier and Lift hip carrier
If you have an active baby or toddler you will be familiar with being asked to pick them up then put them down then pick them up and so on and so on. The result: back pain, tired arms or other postural problems. If you keep lifting your little one up and sit them on your hip (without a designated hip seat), this takes its toll on your body: your spine is no longer in
There comes a time when your little love starts to feel heavy being carried on your front, even with the most ergonomic baby carrier around! And it can get tricky to see around them or bend down with them on your front. But you love exploring the world with them and you don’t want that to end. The good news is that it doesn’t have to. Because you can carry your baby on your back. And for quite a while yet. And we’ve got a whole bunch of reasons why we think you’ll both love an Ergobaby back carry, and exactly how to do it in a baby carrier like our Omni Deluxe. Because the end of babywearing is only in sight when the weight limit of your baby carrier is reached (20.4 kg for the Omni Deluxe) or when either of you no longer want to do it.
Requirements for carrying your baby on your back
To be able to carry your baby safely on your back, they should be able to:
- demonstrate strong head and neck control
- sit unassisted
- weigh 17.2 lbs/7.8 kg
All babies are different but most will reach these

Brrr, it is cold out there! Most days at the moment are cold, wet, stormy or even icy. And yet: you and your baby need fresh air: you need a walk to blow away the cobwebs, you need to take the dog out, or take older siblings to the playground… It's important that your baby - and of course you - stay warm and dry. A baby carrier is an ideal way to do this, as you can easily monitor your little one’s temperature and keep them protected from all weather conditions. However, there are a few things to bear in mind when wearing a baby carrier in winter to ensure that your baby gets enough air and doesn't overheat. For more information on how to dress your baby correctly in a baby carrier, see our top 5 tips for babywearing in winter.
But what if it's really hammering it down outside or you simply want some proper weather protection? Just to make sure that your baby's arms, legs and head are fully protected from the cold and wet... Then trust us when we say that a baby carrier cover is worth the
One of the most common symptoms of pregnancy (alongside tiredness) is nausea or ‘morning sickness’. Most people experience some kind of sickness during pregnancy. Around 70 to 80 per cent experience nausea in early pregnancy, in the morning or throughout the day. Around half of those affected also experience vomiting (emesis) in addition to nausea. Some are completely spared this discomfort and others suffer from sickness beyond their first trimester. It’s most common during the first 12 – 20 weeks of pregnancy. After that, for most people, that queasy feeling usually subsides. But a small number develop a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and suffer from prolonged and severe nausea and vomiting far beyond the usual ‘morning sickness’.
In today's blog article, with the help of our expert and midwife Katrin Ritter, we want to take a closer look at this often-debilitating pregnancy nausea. But perhaps most importantly we’ll be sharing some ideas for what might help you if you’re
Congratulations! You've almost made it through the first year with your little miracle. With all the ups and downs. We know how quick it goes! Perhaps they are already taking their first steps. Or maybe they need a few more months? It’sall completely normal. Most children take their first free steps between the ages of 13 and 14 months, some walk much earlier and others only at 18 or 20 months. Everyone has their own pace of development. Today, let's take another look at baby milestones, focusing on 12-month baby milestones together with our midwife and expert Katrin Ritter. This concludes our blog series Baby’s developmental milestones with Ergobaby: baby’s first year. What can you already see? What can you look forward to in the near future? And how can you best support your little one so close to their first birthday?
12-month baby milestones: ‘The first step’
Your baby doesn't have to master free standing before they can start walking on their own. Some babies simply rush off because
