Step 1
Learn about the Ergo baby carrier to see if it will work for you. In an Ergo, the baby can be worn in the front or on your back (when older). While the Ergo is made for older babies and toddlers, it can be adapted for tiny infants as well. Some parents carry twins using two Ergo carriers, one in the front and another on the back.

Step 3
Accessorize your Ergo. Add an infant insert to carry newborns. Consider the sleeping hood to help support a sleeping child's neck. Purchase the Ergo baby carrier papoose coat for outdoor use in cool weather. Ergo also sells coordinating changing pads, diaper bags, and totes.

Step 4
Locate an Ergo baby carrier to purchase. The Ergo Website is the first stop for quick service. For a bargain, look at online auctions or swap sites. Add the Ergo to your online wish list (try Wish List site) or register for one (at Amazon, for example) if you are expecting a baby shower before your infant is born.

Step 5
Practice using your Ergo baby carrier when it arrives, remembering that it may take several uses to become accustomed to the baby carrier.
