What changes have been recently made to the ERGObaby carrier?

The size and overall function of the ERGObaby carrier remains the same, however, there were a few updates made in June 2007:

1. CHEST STRAPS & RUNNER - The chest straps are now permanently attached to the shoulder straps with a "runner" that keeps the chest straps in their desired location. The chest straps won't need readjusting each time the carrier is taken on and off. This new design also eliminates losing the straps when switching to the hip carry position. The runners are dyed to match the carrier and enhance the overall look of the carrier.

Note: When using the carrier in the hip position, one chest strap may feel in the way. To alleviate: slide the chest strap out of your way, tuck the strap under the runner, or ask for assistance in connecting the two chest straps in the back (if you are not a yogi!).

2. HOOD & HOOD STRAPS - The hood straps are now shorter and snap directly onto the shoulder straps. Elastic has been added to the hood, to provide more length to make up for the shorter straps. The hood will now "cup" around your baby's head. One single D-ring has been provided on the shoulder strap for your personal use.

3. NEW BOX - The carrier, front pouch, backpack and infant inserts now come in new ERGObaby boxes. The handle of the box denotes the color of the carrier, and the picture at the top of each box will also reflect the color of the carrier inside.
