By Even though the Ergo organic baby carrier has been discontinued for a while, hundreds of moms still look for it! I am not surprised, after all, Ergobaby is an amazing reliable American brand, recognized internationally by its quality, awards, and innovation. So, it is only natural that moms looking for an organic baby carrier will wonder if the brand has one.
Since we don’t know if the Ergo organic baby carrier is ever coming back and you can’t wait, we made a careful selection of similar organic carriers for infants and toddlers from amazing reliable brands as well! We based our choices on the similarities between the main features of a carrier: fabric, weight limit, price, carry positions, care, and great reviews, of course.
As usual, the prices you’ll see in this post are from the day we selected the carriers. More often than not, stores have random sales on their websites, so the price of the day can be cheaper ?♡ than what you see here!
That’s why we show as many trustworthy retailers as possible, even the ones we are not affiliated with, so you can choose the best for you!
If you are new to the baby-wearing world, you must educate yourself about safe baby-wearing!
We have a post explaining the American Academy of Pediatrics, CPSC, ASTM, and International Hip Dysplasia Institute recommendations and the differences between Sling, Wrap, and Carrier! Is it the funniest subject ever? No, it is not. But we highly recommend the reading to help you make a confident & conscious shop decision!
