Beware of Counterfeits | Ergobaby UK

We understand that you want the best and safest products for your baby.  Unfortunately, there are counterfeit and potentially dangerous copies of our Ergobaby Carriers on the market.  We urge you to obtain genuine products and educate yourself and others on how to purchase authorised products and how to avoid counterfeits that could potentially cause harm. We pride ourselves on using high quality, certified materials produced in independently inspected factories that adhere to responsible work practices. Our Ergobaby Carriers have attracted a host of international product awards and health endorsements.  Unfortunately, this success has also attracted unscrupulous copies. We love the fact that the Ergobaby Carrier is a “must-have” on many baby shower lists.  But that means that you as parents may not be purchasing the Ergobaby Carrier for yourself, and we understand that many of you receive an Ergobaby product as a gift.  For that reason, we urge you to please review and share this information with friends and family members who may be purchasing the carrier and related products for you and your baby.

 

What is counterfeiting?
