Ergobaby Embrace Cozy Newborn Baby Wrap Carrier (7-25 Pounds), Ponte Knit, Heather Grey

I own a ton of different carriers and I really love this one. It offers really great support and comfort for the person wearing the baby. More compared to other cheaper carriers I own. Having a waist belt makes the world of a difference. It seems to be comfortable for my son. My only issue so far is I feel like he wants his head to rest higher, he is always chewing on the shoulder straps but it could be me not having it situated properly. One other thing to mention is this carrier is recommended as a good one that is safe for their hips as listed on the hip dyslasia institute website. It keeps the hips in the M position which is super important as not all baby carriers to. This is probably my favorite baby carrier so far that is affordable.

As a first time mom Ive read so many reviews on different products and one being a baby carrier. So many different options and all that I was overwhelmed with what to pick. My baby boy loves to held and gets pissed if you put him down! Hes a big boy (>99% for height and 89% for weight) at 4mo old and hes fit nicely in this carrier for the past 2 months. He actually seems to enjoy it and will fall asleep quickly most times! AND Im able to use both hands and get stuff done which is a double win! Honestly, its a great carrier IMO. Its comfortable on my 54 130lb frame as well as my 63 210? (dont know his weight) husband. It adjusts nicely and doesnt hurt our backs at all! Definitely recommend this carrier vs an expensive one that does the same job.

The only con about the product is my baby runs hot and gets warm super fast so I haven’t really been able to use it as much as I wanted. Super easy to put on and take off alone.

The mesh version of this carrier is super soft and lightweight, but the stretchiness makes the support much weaker. It was almost impossible to keep up high where he is supposed to be without making the carrier uncomfortably high on my waist, or uncomfortably tight around him. The more I rolled the belt part the less support he got for his neck, and then it had to sit uncomfortably around the bottom of my rib cage. Maybe on a person with a longer torso it would be more comfortable and fit better for baby. We have the 360 from our first baby, and it works much better to sit where it is supposed to for mom and baby.

I originally purchased the omni 360 because it gave longer usage due to the weight of the baby. For me, however, it was extremely bulky and had too many straps to figure out. Way too complicated when youre trying to handle a newborn! I didnt even get one use out of it. After watching a how to video for the Embrace, I decided to purchase this one instead. Even though the weight limit is less, its a bit cheaper than the Omni too. Directions are pretty simple. I do find it a bit confusing how to get her centered, and since this is my first couple times, Ive been having to look in a mirror while I do it. But I know Ill get it down soon. Only 3 straps to deal with, much less bulky, and so comfortable! I have baby in as I write this. It puts them right to sleep! I totally recommend!

This carrier is perfect for that newborn stage when you wanted your baby tightly tucked in and close to you. This is the best one on the market and it is extremely soft. I love the fabric as well as my baby. I wish the other ergo baby carriers had this materials because it is like no other. It literally feels like you are hugging your baby but without wrapping your arms around them. You will have to hold baby’s neck when bending down but you should be doing that at all times. The only downside is that if you reach above your head to grab something say a dish out the cabinet the arm bands rise up and you have to keep adjusting it. This can be annoying

Love this sling. So easy and secure to put the baby into. Tried 3 different options and this is by far my favorite

I have a 7 wk old that I am currently using this with. The material is very soft and comfy for him. The thing I like the most about this carrier is how easy it is to put on and secure my little guy into it. Unlike other carriers that have numerous straps and clips this has only 3. The cross back straps are comfortable to wear and help to even out the baby’s weight. It doesn’t provide extra lower back support but if you are only using this to carry an infant, you won’t be carrying much weight to begin with. With that being said, I would use this carrier probably past six months depending on how big he gets. It also doesn’t provide much head and neck support so you do need to keep one hand on the head of bending or leaning over something. I have tried many wraps and other infant carriers and this is by far the best one that I have tried. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I tried a million carriers for my son when he was little and this was the only one we fell in love with! Easy to use and baby feels secure and cozy. We carry him forward facing in it now and he still loves it, but seems like he’s growing out of it. Great for parents that want the coziness of a soft wrap but can’t quite figure out how to work them!

What can I say about this product that hasnt already been mentioned before. It functions exactly as it was intended to do. It holds my little one comfortably against me and allows me to have both hands free to do what I need to do! It even fits my plus sized husband. However, there are a few issues. At times, I have to hold onto her head because it does not support her head as well as it should. Typically, this is an issue when I bend over. Additionally, the shoulder straps do not like to stay in position for wearing with a newborn. This may take away a little from the overall support. Lastly, ignore the reviews stating that the strap is sewn on backwards. It is not. Thats how it is meant to be. It folds over to give support for your babys bum. The reviewers who stated its sewn wrong did not read the instructions properly.
