The ERGO baby carrier!


Just recently, my aunt was in India, and I told her she could not go with the huge Kelty backpack and instead told her to purchase the ERGO. She bought it and loved it! It saved my cousin from being run over by motorcycles, tuk tuks, rickshays than ran by at death defying speeds that made the streets look like a particle accelerator. The ergo is small, easily packable, very convenient and very comfy for both you and your baby. My cousin is three years old and weighs about thirty pounds and fits perfectly in it. He slept on her back through the ruins of medieval forts, and mosques and crowded markets that exhaled the perfumes of Indian spices.


The ERgo comes with an instructional video: quite a riot! It shows you how to live better!

You can wear your baby ( ages 0-5) on your front, on your back, on your hip either as a koala or a kangouroo. The babies head is even prtected and held up by a hood like cover that can double up, in Indian climates as a sun hat.


I highly recommend the ERGO! If you need to travel, have a clingy baby ( need to cook or clean with him/her on you or simply walk on crowded streets that do not have space for strollers: it's perfect, although a bit pricy ( about $100)
