We all have personal preferences ranging from brand of toothpaste, salad dressing, shampoo, crunchy or plain, straw or no straw…the list becomes longer with each breath! So it only makes sense if you are looking for a baby carrier that you choose a company that offers a variety so your personal preference is satisfied. 

Look no further than Ellaroo, a company, which offers variety, style, quality and comfort. This is an eco friendly company that uses sustainable materials whenever possible. I love the Ring Sling by Ellaroo, a baby carrier made from 100% organic cotton fabric with recycled polyester batting. Brasilia is stylish and elegant, fashioned in a rich chocolate brown with a beautiful embroidered pattern and is perfect for a newborn and very proud mama. "It is designed to cup the shoulder and spread naturally over the back, keeping baby secure and close to your center of gravity."

I also really like the Ellaroo Wraparound Baby Carrier, which is made of hand-woven Guatemalan fabric, and being hand woven has a lovely natural stretch. This fine company also offers the Ellaroo Podaegi Baby Carrier, an ancient Korean design, which firmly secures the baby in a safe and comfortable position on the mother's back. Another wonderful design, the Ellaroo Mei Hip™ Baby Carrier is a very practical and comfortable baby carrier. This was developed by Karen Baker "in a search for the perfect hip carrier which allows those with neck and back problems to wear their babies and toddlers comfortably on the hip". Lastly is the Ellaroo Mei Tai Baby Carrier, a great carrier that can be worn on front and back. "Because the shoulder and waist straps are tied on however you like, the pack can be easily shared between parents of very different sizes."

I applaud the Ellaroo Colorway design contest. Last year there were more than 100 entries submitted; this year there were 224. Please visit their web site and watch for the winning design soon to be woven into the newest Ellaroo Wrap in 2008!
