Difference of Ergobaby carriers: Original and Organic

I received numerous questions on the difference of many types of Ergobaby carriers.

Well, as we all know... Ergobaby has the following types of carriers to choose from:

a) Ergobaby Original (Retail price RM464/499)

b) Ergobaby Sport (Retail price RM464)

c) Ergobaby Organic (Retail price RM599)

d) Ergobaby Performance (Retail price RM599)

e) Ergobaby Organic Petunia Pickle Bottom (Retail price RM689)

5 types of them!

This is why I don't have Ergo ready stock (unlike Boba 3G). Too many types, too many colors, prints and choices. For a small bizz wahm with limited source like me, I only take pre-orders for Ergo. ^___^

Ok. Let me summ them up.

1st, the Original series. This is the standard Ergo design. The material is 100% cotton. This design is the same like the Organic series (plain color, not the Petunia Pickle Bottom's). 

They have quite a short body panel which is not suitable for taller babies. However, they are a great ssc for 4 months and above. Since the body panel is quite short (shorter than Boba 3G's), the baby worn wouldn't be so drowned inside it. Your child can look around cos... usually the Ergo's body panel will not even cover up to the child's neck! So tak tenggelam la... great for petite baby, small babies.

Difference between Original and Organic? 

The material, where they are made from and the price.

Organic series is made from 100% organic cotton. It's softer and cooler to the touch (well, at least most of my customers and I think so).

Organic is pricier than Originals. 

Organic is made in India whereas the Original is made in China.

So, if your baby is still small or you would like to wear your baby when he/she is 4 months old (3 months plus also can... depends on your baby), you can buy the Ergo Original/Organic. Please be informed that since it has short body panel, it may not be suitable for larger/taller babies... by then, you have to upgrade your carrier. But Ergo Original/Organics can fit petite 1 year old toddler perfectly... So really, it depends on your baby's size. :)

Her child was 1 year and 2 months old in this pic.

Both of them loved the Ergo (Ergo Organic River Rock Green)

Lots of people love the standard Ergo design. It's comfortable and easy to use.

Even if it cannot last to 2,3 years, some people does not really mind cos baby usually will start walking by 1 year plus, right? Some toddlers refused to be carried by that time... So yeah, tak rugi pun beli. Boleh jual balik! haha... (Authentic items sentiasa ada je orang berminat nak beli eventho preloved... as long as good condition ^_^)

So kesimpulannya:

Ape beza Ergo Original and Ergo Organic (plain)??

Beza dari segi material SAHAJA. Original dari cotton biase, Organic dari Organic cotton.

Yang organic cotton is made in India while the Original made from China. That's all.

Hip-healthy position

I was looking for more info on Hip Dysplasia and came across 'correct swaddling' article. I have visited that site before when people on my Facebook network shared a photo of baby's position in certain baby carriers (which one was good and which one was bad position)

This was the photo:

I was thinking more on the comfort rather than the hip-healthy position when I first saw this pic.

Now I focus more on what it said below the pic =D

Ok, let me share another picture.

(click for bigger image)

Ok, on the carriers that I used (and sell) the correct position is supported.

CHECKED.

Oh before I go any further, what is hip dysplasia?

Well... basically, hip dysplasia means that the bones of the hip joint are not aligned correctly.

What does it do?

Hip dysplasia prevents the hip joint from functioning properly. Of course, if it's not aligned correctly, how can the joint function properly, right? The unaligned position would also made the hip joint wears out faster than normal. It is also a “silent” condition that means pain is not normally felt until much later stages, making it harder to detect.

Then I hopped into swaddling section.

However, on the swaddling thing... I was wrong!

Apparently I had swaddled my son wrongly before.

Tsk tsk. 

Do pray that I have another baby so I can do the right thing this time.

Dear readers, do check the video below.

It is important to leave room for the hips to move.

Did you do the correct technique?

Yes? Good for you!

What about those like me?

Well... now we know!
