Forget struggling with complicated wraps and pop your baby in a swaddle bag. The ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag comes with a two-way zip and is rated for warmth to keep a baby snug and securely swaddled. It comes with a free room thermometer and a guide to help parents layer appropriately for warmth. If your baby doesn’t like being swaddled or is approaching the rolling milestone, simply pop up the shoulder studs to release their arms and convert the swaddle into a sleeping bag.
The ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag is made from and filled with GOTS certified organic cotton, with elastane in the outer fabric and bamboo in the lining. This means it’s firm enough to restrict the startle reflex while still allowing stretch and movement for healthy growth. Importantly, the organic cotton and bamboo is certified non-toxic, so it’s gentle on newborn skin and skin prone to eczema breakouts.
The bell-shaped design is approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as being hip-healthy, and promotes proper joint development in the hips and shoulders joints.

The Britax Safe-n-Sound UNITY™ ISOFIX is the only baby capsule suitable for low birth weight and premmie babies without restrictive medical conditions. You won’t have to worry about your baby outgrowing the capsule too fast, as it’s suitable from birth through to 12 months (approx.).
You can be sure your baby will be safe and secure in this baby capsule. The Integrated Stabilising Bar ensures the capsule won’t rotate in the event of a crash, while the EPS Foam and High Side Walls offer maximum protection against side impact.
For smaller babies, the Britax UNITY™ COMFORT INSERT offers additional full-body comfort and support in any baby capsule or convertible car seat. With around 7% of all babies being of low birth weight, this insert will keep your precious bundle safe, snug and cocooned in comfort and safety. This insert has been tested and certified with Britax Safe-n-Sound UNITY capsules and B-First.

A baby carrier is perfect for keeping baby close while still having the use of both hands, and Ergobaby has just announced the release of an innovative new carrier, Aerloom. The first of its kind, it’s made from FormaKnit™ fabric, designed to move and stretch to fit parents and their daily active lives.
At just 0.66kg, Aerloom is one of the lightest structured baby carriers on the market. It has built-in airflow and includes a zippered pocket, integrated into the lumbar support, to hold a phone, keys, and cards.
For the eco-conscious, Aerloom is made from 26 post-consumer recycled bottles, so it has a low carbon footprint. Ergobaby also redesigned the packaging – each carrier comes in a recyclable, direct shipper packaging so there is no need for an additional box to ship Aerloom carriers.
