Ergo Carriers – NEW low prices April 5, 2010

Tiny Tapir restocked Ergo Baby carriers (finally!) early in March and now we’ve almost sold out of all – I only just managed to get the balance of Ergo Carriers listed online now.

Ergo Baby carriers are available at both our Ampang Park, Kuala Lumpur store and in our Bangsar Village store.

Ergo Baby carriers have proved really popular here in Malaysia and for good reason. They are very well made, a favorite design among a lot of babywearing parents, and available at a reasonable price, especially now we have listened to our customers and stocked them in more quantity, we’ve been able to reduce the price to better match the worldwide msrp.

More Ergo Baby Carriers (both organic and non-organic) will only be available in July 2010, so do shop now, we may run out of stock by then…

Baby Sling Safety March 12, 2010

Some of our wonderful Baby Carrier suppliers have recently come out with a press release on the safety of baby carriers, given the current widespread news about Bag Slings and their causing suffocation in babies.

Back when we first started considering stocking baby carriers, Bag Slings were pretty popular online and I even had a supplier send one to me for testing.  When I saw it, i just never thought it would be safe. It was really deep, did not seem like it would be comfortable and I didn’t see how a baby would be anything but lost in all that fabric..

BUT , baby slings are only a small fraction of babywearing tools – most carriers will help you to carry your baby with NO risk of suffocation – just be aware of the basics – baby’s chin should NEVER be pressed against their chest - see this pdf document for full details – this is especially important when your baby is a newborn up to approx 4 months when babies develop good neck / head control.
