The Birth Of Ergo Baby Carrier
Having a baby can be a life-changing experience for a woman. For Karin Frost, giving birth to her first child also spawned the start of a life-altering business.
Frost owns Ergo Baby Carrier, which produces a line of baby products — including backpacks, tote bags and diaper bags — all designed by Frost.
She was a 41-year-old first-time mom in 2001 when she felt compelled to develop a baby carrier for her newborn son.
She was disappointed with the baby slings and pouches on the market and wanted one that kept her son as close to her body as possible, while also being comfortable.
Today, Frost’s company sells 10,000 to 12,000 Ergo Baby Carriers a month at a base price of $92.
What makes her product different, she said, is that the carrier lets the bulk of the baby’s weight sit on the mother’s hips. The carrier also is designed so the baby’s weight doesn’t put much pressure on its spine.
