Ergobaby awards & seals of approval

For over 20 years Ergobaby has stood for the highest standards in quality, ergonomics, and suitability for everyday use, and we strive to keep improving our products. We place value on independent external feedback. That's why we have our products reviewed by midwives and other health experts, industry associations, real parents, trade media, sustainability experts and design forums from the perspective of their respective expertise and tested in everyday life or in the laboratory. Sometimes a jury even consists of several of these experts, to offer you an even more well-founded result and better orientation in the product jungle with a seal thanks to different perspectives.

On this page we give you an overview of the most important awards, seals of approval and certificates from the last few years. It is, so to speak, the medal table for the performance of our products under the critical eyes of various national and international experts, e.g., in Germany, Great Britain, the USA and France. We have been awarded gold, silver, and bronze accolades, which we are very proud of. See for yourself.

Health experts

Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. (AGR) (Healthy Back Campaign)

The seal of quality of the German association Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. is awarded to back-friendly products in baby product areas such as baby carriers, strollers, car seats, mattresses, baby bouncers. According to product-specific criteria catalogues, the respective products are presented live in front of a panel of medical experts (orthopaedists, physiotherapists, ergonomics, and development specialists) and then evaluated. Products that optimally support and relieve the back are awarded.
All our baby carriers, Metro+ Stroller and the Evolve 3-in-1 baby bouncer have been awarded the AGR seal of approval because they are back-friendly for baby, parents and caregivers, and contribute to healthy development or maintenance of (back) health. At Ergobaby, we not only meet the standards currently set, we also actively help to shape them. For example, the Evolve baby bouncer with its outstanding ergonomic features has not only set new AGR standards, it is also currently the first and only baby bouncer with the AGR seal of approval.

International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI)

With the help of international experts, the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI, United States) awards ergonomic baby products that promote healthy hip development. Especially in the first year of life, it is important that the head of the hip joint assumes a correct position in relation to the acetabulum, as the structures of the acetabulum and head, which are still largely cartilaginous at birth, are only gradually replaced by bone substance. It is precisely these essential factors in child development that the IHDI pays attention to and confirms with the award for all our stretchers as well as our pucks and baby sleeping bags that these products optimally support your baby in healthy development.

Ergobaby's awards and certifications

Ergobaby puts ergonomics first. That's why many of our products are not only developed in collaboration with experienced midwives or paediatric orthopaedists - we also have them tested by independent institutes. These include, the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. association or the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. This is why our baby carriers, the Metro+ stroller and the Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer hold the AGR seal "tested & recommended" and our baby carriers, Evolve 3-in-1 baby bouncer and our baby sleeping bags meet the recommendations of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. We are particularly proud that our baby carriers are also very well received by countless families in the test. See our important awards, certifications, and tests here:

Baby carrier test: parents and professionals put Ergobaby under the microscope

To make sure that the products developed by Ergobaby really do make families' everyday lives easier, we have our baby carriers tested regarding functionality, appearance and comfort. The feedback helps us to become better to meet the needs of parents and children even more effectively. Through external tests by ÖkoTest, KidsGo, Top 10 Baby & Kind, we reach a large number of independent testers. Our Aerloom baby carrier won the renowned IF Design Award in this way.

Which stroller is best? - Metro+ Stroller put to the test.

The Ergobaby Metro+ and Metro+ Deluxe hold the AGR seal of approval and, according to tests by an independent laboratory, are the best-cushioned ultra-compact prams in their category. The adjustable backrest, the height-adjustable handlebar, the good suspension, and the easy handling make the Metro+ a back-friendly choice for both parent and baby. The Metro+ is considered a great travel choice thanks to the ultra-light, compact fold. The Metro+ stroller fits into the boot of most small cars and the overhead bin luggage compartment of the plane*. *Please check your airline guidelines before travelling.

Which baby bouncer is the best? Developed with a paediatric orthopaedist and awarded by experts

Our Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer is the first and only baby bouncer to be awarded the seal of approval of the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. (Healthy Back Campaign). Our ergonomic baby bouncer was designed in cooperation with a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon so that babies can be in the ergonomic squat-splay position from birth. The unique newborn insert also provides optimal support at the head and protects the early childhood spine. In numerous parent tests, for example Babyforum.at, our Ergobaby baby bouncer received five out of five stars.

Best high chair? With three modes and many functions, the Evolve High Chair is convincing.

Safe, hygienic, practical, stylish, ergonomically growing - that's how the Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 High Chair can be described. It is designed in such a way that it can be converted from a high chair to a toddler chair and interactive learning tower in just a few steps and without tools. Thanks to the 5-point harness, your baby is already optimally secured from the sixth month (or as soon as it can sit up unaided). In addition, the Ergobaby high chair carries the coveted GREENGUARD certificate. Products certified according to the Greenguard Gold standard must meet strict requirements for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxicity and are tested for a wide variety of chemicals.
