Ergobaby Baby Carriers: What’s the Difference?

 

Following on from our post "How to Choose the Right Baby Carrier for Your Family" we thought we'd share a roundup of all the different wraps and carriers we offer here at Ergobaby to help you find the right one for you.

 

Before we get started however, a really handy tool to see all our carriers laid out together so you can directly compare features and functions is our guide to Which Carrier Is Best For You on our website. We've popped a version below or you can download a pdf with a little more info included by clicking here.

 

Once the above has given you a starting point, check out the below for more information on the carrier/s you're interested in:
