Good support, but...
I can appreciate the back support and how lightweight this carrier is. I also love how the leg openings have cushion, it keeps my baby comfortable. The major deal breaker here was how rough the entire carrier is. My poor baby had marks on his arms from the material scraping his skin.

Love, love, love this carrier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carrier is elite. It is so easy to put on. The material is amazing. My little one naps every time she is in it. Probably the best carrier I’ve ever had.

One of the buckles broke after only a few uses. I reached out to the manufacturer but they were very slow to respond and didn’t offer an easy way to resolve the issue. Being a parent is already stressful and time-consuming, it’s frustrating when a company doesn’t stand behind their product. I ended up returning it to Target and would not recommend this product, go with another brand!

Easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried many carriers and this is the most comfortable, breathable and functional! I only wish they make a sling next :)

I want to love it but don't .
I really wanted this carrier to be the end all be all but it's not. Loved it at first but the more I wear it the more flaws I notice. If you are not prone to back and shoulder pain you could probably get away with it. I have found where the strap connects to the main body of the carrier is too narrow. It also turns on it's side instead of staying flat like other carriers. This causes the shoulder straps to ride up more and the baby has more room to lean out putting stress on the back. You'll notice other brands are wider at this junction and lay flat. I discovered for my shoulders I prefer the h strap instead of cross/x straps like this one. I do love the fabric and color options. Good luck to the brand! I do like my Wild bird carrier wrap combo and wish I would of just put my money towards that one.

Worth the money
This is the best baby carrier! I think it’s comparable to the Omni360 but easier to put on and more everyday friendly. I had a hard time deciding between this and the Mabe one and I’m SO glad I went with this one because it’s held up so well with time (I feel like the Mabe one looks grungy and gets looser with time whereas this one does not). I think it distributes weight very well and is the most comfortable baby carrier I’ve used. It didn’t absolutely love it for my tiny newborn and found a wrap more comfortable for their tiny body but have used it consistently for 2months and older. I’d definitely buy it again and glad I have it.

Cannot wait!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to carry my newborn baby boy all over in this cozy, supportive and soft carrier! As an almost mama to 4 (ages 5 and under), I can’t wait to have this carrier to help make life a little easier!

This wrap has truly been a game changer!! I have quite the Velcro baby who did not like being in a wrap or any other carrier we’ve tried. He absolutely loves this carrier and it has made such a difference to be able to strap him on and go about my day!

A must have!
I have owned several other carriers before finding this one for reference. The Wildbird Aerial Buckle Carrier is the most comfortable and durable carrier I have owned. I use it multiple times a day and it has grown with my baby perfectly. This is the easiest carrier to put on, I can wear my baby for long periods with zero back pain, and it is easy to clean! My baby loves his carrier, he naps, we take walks, do chores, play with baby sister, trick or treat and much more! I recommend this to everyone and it is a must have if you are expecting!

Very comfortable
I enjoy wearing this carrier! My baby enjoys being in the carrier and I have worn it for hours hiking and at the zoo and it has been more comfortable than others I have worn. My only critique is that I wish the front panel was longer. I haven’t seen other reviews talking about this so I am not sure if my baby has a long torso but he is 10 months and he constantly gets his arms out and over the top of the carrier.

Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this little carrier!! I was hesitant to to spend the money but I'm glad I did- my little one loves it (when I actually use it) <3 I love the adjustment features, the ease of use, and the extra head support! Would recommend to new or seasoned mamas

Cheap, poor customer service
This is poorly made and not worth the expensive price tag. We reached out to WildBird and received a very basic, no-help response three days late. We purchased this directly from WildBird, which was a mistake.

Great carrier!
Should have purchased this a long time ago! Worth every penny. Comfortable fit, easy to put on, and baby loves it. The linen breathes well and the easy adjustability is great.

Great Carrier
I use this carrier all the time. I can get things done around the house and keep an eye on my baby. The baby likes this carrier better than my other one. No crying at all!! It’s very lightweight also.

Wanted to love but lack of support ruined it for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to love this carrier but mine was missing the support strap for back carrying. Tried to contact wild bird MULTIPLE times over two months but no response. Other than that the carrier is great, Went on a 3 mile hike and myself and baby were very comfortable!
