Please note: To carry baby from newborn to 4 months old, an ERGO Infant Insert is needed. Once the baby has developed good head control, the Infant Insert is no longer needed and the baby may then be placed in the front carry position. Once the baby has developed torso control, usually around 5 months old, she may be placed in either the hip or back carry position.

What Ergo says about their organic fabric:

ERGObaby Organics

Karin Frost, owner and designer of ERGObaby, created our new Organic line of carriers and accessories in response to the increased awareness for eco-friendly products and sustainable production methods. She traveled to India in 2007 to visit the textile mill where our fabric is produced by a company that was the first in India to be organically certified in 1996. We realize that our customers want to know that our fabric choices are eco-conscious and that we trust and feel good about the mill involved.

Organically grown cotton utilizes natural plant extracts and beneficial insects to control pests and maintains the health of the soil by avoiding the destruction of beneficial organisms. It also enhances the fertility of the soil through rotational cropping practices and does not pose hazards to human health.

ERGObaby believes that organic cotton is good for you and good for nature. Our new 100% Organic Cotton Carriers (including the linings, Infant Inserts and Accessories) are certified by Control Union Certification (formerly SKAL International). The inspection is conducted annually from the farms to the processing plant. The dyes are certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 to meet European standards and SGS to meet all U.S. Federal, State and Local Regulations as well as compliance with the European Standard EN 71 Part 3:1994 +A1:2000.

Our Certified 100% Organic Cotton is grown, processed and manufactured in compliance with Organic Fiber Processing Standards utilizing natural agricultural methodology without the application of toxic chemicals. The emphasis is to avoid negative impact on surrounding eco-systems. Many minds and hands around the world contributed to the manufacture of the ERGObaby Organic products…all in the spirit of preserving our planet and advancing fair labor practices.

The benefit to the consumer, especially our babies, is the softness and quality that only organic cotton can provide. This is one of the top reasons people choose organic cotton for their delicate baby’s skin. You are personally contributing to the shift in awareness for strong environmental responsibility by supporting the farmers, fabric mills, artisans, sewing factories and retailers of this Organic Cotton product.

We want to emphasize that ERGObaby is committed and feels a responsibility to global environment, fair labor and quality craftsmanship. We are pleased to be a part of your Organic Lifestyle.
