Q: Is this carrier easy to use for one person? Can one person reach the straps, buckles, and ties?

submitted by Ali Ole - 4 years ago
  • A: Since the shoulder straps buckles in the front, it makes it easy for one person to use the carrier.

  • A: Yes! This is the third type of carrier that I tried because I needed to put it on myself and was getting frustrated with how challenging the others were to put on. This one is easy to put on solo - I’ve worn it around the house, taken baby out of car seat and put directly into carrier by myself to walk around the store, airplanes, etc! Easy to adjust and also take off by yourself. Material is comfy too - highly recommend!

Q: is it okay for a new-born or it is better to use after 2 months ?

submitted by aki - 1 year ago
  • A: We used it for our newborn but you have to be sure it’s extra tight because they don’t have the head control and the fabric covers them entirely

    submitted byrachelm03 - 1 year ago

Q: What are the differences between the Embrace and the Omni 360?

submitted by Jenna - 5 years ago
  • A: The Embrace Cozy newborn carrier is soft, cozy and super comfortable. No complicated wrapping or tying. This carrier keeps you and baby close as you find your new rhythm together. This Embrace is great for the fourth trimester, when you are sticking close to home and easing the transition for baby into the world. The Embrace can be used from 7-25 lbs. While the Embrace carrier can be used up to 25 lbs, we recommend that once baby reaches about 4-6 months, and is developmentally ready to see the world in all directions, we recommend the next carrier in our Ages & Stages line, the All Position 360 baby carrier or Omni 360 carrier.

Q: Is this one machine washable?

submitted by Susan - 6 years ago
  • A: You can launder your carrier using a mild detergent on a gentle cycle with cold water. You can use the dryer for about 20 minutes. It will still be damp. Hang out to dry for the duration of the drying time.

    The carrier I desperately needed!

    This carrier was a lifesaver. I had no idea how to be hands-free with my baby, especially when she was a newborn. I couldn't get comfortable with wraps and wanted something that was simpler with more structure. This was perfect! It's so easy to put on by myself, and I use it often around the house or when I go out with my baby. This is the best purchase I made for her early months.

    Great newborn carrier!

    I was looking for a newborn carrier because the one that I have didn’t secure my baby’s head very well. Overall I’m happy with this product but took off 1 star because I bought the black carrier and the fabric collects little dirt particles easily - I wish I purchased a different colour, but nevertheless still a really great carrier!

    Lifesaver

    This carrier has allowed me the freedom to walk my dogs, go shopping and go for lunch with my baby safe, secure and happy. It’s easy to use on my own so I have my independence back. Highly recommend for newborns.

    It’s worth it

    I already had a 6yo ergo baby with the newborn insert but I had a c section for my third child and the old sling felt too heavy and cumbersome. I’m really happy with this one and I know it won’t last that long but it was worth it.

    Great newborn carrier

    My wife and I (and baby) love this carrier so far. Easy to slip on, adjust, and share between the two of us. Our baby enjoys being in the carrier as she often falls fast asleep. It’s great bonding time.

    We have yet to try

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have yet to try this as baby is not due until this Fall, but after taking it out of the box and trying it on, I can say that I feel like this second child will have some redemptive qualities. I was unable to figure out baby wearing with our first child as the models tried were too complicated while adjusting to a newborn with its challenges, especially lack of rest for mama's brain to figure it out. I watched a video for some tips to ensure proper positioning, and the teddy bear I tried it with seemed secure and happy. I can already tell that I might be able to baby wear after all. Thank you for this easy to put on baby carrier ErgoBaby! The blue color is very nice too!

    Perfect for newborn

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this carrier for my newborn baby, it’s easy to put on, comfortable for us both and he falls straight to sleep when placed in it. It’s a lifesaver for those first couple of months!

    Very difficult to put on

    It’s not easy to put on. You need an extra person who can help you put the strap buckles
