Vintage Indie is thrilled to bring you another fantastic giveaway for our Virtual Baby Shower. We welcome ERGObaby!
Although baby isn't here yet, I've done extensive research on baby carriers and we hope to be a baby carrying loving family. I've heard a lot of great reviews of ERGObaby carriers and couldn't wait to get my hands on one.
One of the main points in my research was to ensure that baby's legs and posture were ergonomically correct for carrying.
These images are from the International Hip Displasia Institute. While they don't endorse any particular carrier they provide the valuable information needed to be sure your baby is in a proper position while in a harness/carrier.
From the IHDI "The most unhealthy position for the hips during infancy is when the legs are held in extension with the hips and knees straight and the legs brought together, which is the opposite of the fetal position. The risk to the hips is greater when this unhealthy position is maintained for a long time. Healthy hip positioning avoids positions that may cause or contribute to development of hip dysplasia or dislocation. The healthiest position for the hips is for the hips to fall or spread (naturally) apart to the side, with the thighs supported and the hips and knees bent. This position has been called the jockey position, straddle position, frog position, spread-squat position or human position. Free movement of the hips without forcing them together promotes natural hip development."
With that said, ERGObaby is happy to boast their design supports the correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spinal developement. Which is why we're thrilled to be reviewing one for your when baby girl gets here. In the meantime, we're excited that ERGObaby is generously offering one of Vintage Indie's readers the chance to win one of their very own.
