Checking Our List #7: ERGObaby Doll Carrier Review & Giveaway




Kaelyn is at an age where she is very much into pretend play...especially when it comes to playing 'mommy' with her baby dolls. Ever since Kaden was born, she has become very mothering and loves to act out the things she sees me doing with him...changing his diapers, feeding him, etc. It's really cute to watch and makes me want to encourage that kind of play in any way I can.

ERGObaby is a family owned and operated business, providing parents with the most thoughtful, highest quality and most innovative babywearing products and accessories on the market today. Their products were created to help make babywearing safe, easy and comfortable. Between their high quality products and excellent customer service, ERGObaby is a company many parents have come to trust and turn to time and time again for their babywearing needs.

We had the opportunity to review the ERGObaby carrier this past summer and love it. We still love carrying Kaden in it and have found the quality to be fantastic and the comfort (for both him and I) to be excellent. ERGObaby offers many great products. Aside from their amazing baby carriers, they also have a great line of accessories and lifestyle items. As I browsed their website, I was instantly drawn to the ERGObaby Doll Carrier!

Designer and owner, Karin Frost also created the baby doll carrier for children who want to carry their baby dolls just like mom and dad carried them. With input from her son and some of his friends, the design developed. Thanks to her creativity, children can mirror the love and care they received as babies.

With the love that Kaelyn has for playing 'mommy' with her dolls, I had a feeling she would adore a doll carrier like this...especially since she's seen us carry Kaden in one. That's why I couldn't have been more excited when I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review the Heartrose Doll Carrier.

When the Doll Carrier arrived, I was very pleased with the quality! Although I had a feeling it would be good quality, I did not expect it to be this nice! The quality is very comparable to the carrier we have for Kaden and this really impressed me a lot! I know this will withstand all the use it will get and last her a very long time!


Oh, and did I mention the colors are absolutely adorable?! Kaelyn (and I) both love pink...so this couldn't have been more perfect.

When I showed it to her she was very excited to have a special carrier just for her dolls. She has worn mine around in the past for fun and loved it, but of course, was very happy to have one just for her that fit her so well! I actually thought it might fit a little big as she is quite small...however, there are adjustable straps which helped us get a great fit.

Kaelyn has enjoyed wearing this doll carrier around for weeks. It's so neat to watch her care for her babies like she sees us do with Kaden. She loves wearing it on the front and on the back and most days does not want to take it off. What a fantastic thing for any child to have!


We have been very happy with the ERGObaby Doll Carrier. It would make a fantastic gift for any child on your list this year.

Buy It: You can purchase the ERGObaby Doll Carrier for $25.

Win It: ERGObaby has offered one lucky reader a Doll Carrier.
