The Ergo Bay Carrier - A World-Traveling Necessity

We have about 10 different soft baby-carriers in our home.  Wraps, slings, ties - just about everything.  Different carriers are best in different situations, but for travel, I think nothing beats an Ergo.

It’s a soft carrier that can fold up pretty small, but it has a few plastic clips, making the whole thing very quick to put on, and it feels very secure.  You can wear your child on the front or back, and it only takes a bit of practice to figure out how to get your baby on your back by yourself.  It’s much easier than it looks.

Almost any age of baby can travel in an Ergo, all the way up to multiple years old.  For newborns, there’s an adapter - We used a pouch sling for our daughter when she was a newborn, and then started using the Ergo when she was about 4 months.

We’ve traveled on subways, across entire cities, through Redwood forests, and even up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, all with our daughter in the Ergo.  Most airports will let you leave the baby in the Ergo going through security, which is a plus.

I highly recommend any non-framed baby carrier to anyone.  It allows for closeness between parent and child and it extends your ability to go anywhere and do just about anything.
