Q: Would this carrier comfortably fit plus size parents?
submitted by Ds0701 - 2 years ago
A: The Embrace baby carrier fits a wide range of bodies and most sizes XS-XXL.
submitted byErgobaby Customer Support - 2 years agoBrand expertA: We were kind of alarmed at the size. It BARELY goes around my husband - he's a large person, but not XXL. He wears 36x34 pants for reference.

Q: Is this carrier easy to use for one person? Can one person reach the straps, buckles, and ties?
submitted by Ali Ole - 2 years ago
A: Since the shoulder straps buckles in the front, it makes it easy for one person to use the carrier.

Q: What are the differences between the Embrace and the Omni 360?
submitted by Jenna - 3 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 - 4 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 Coziest Carrier!

Emily - 21 days ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased this to use for my 5th baby, and it is my first soft structured carrier. It's so much easier than a traditional wrap, and much less bulky than a structured carrier. This is the perfect in-between carrier. It is super soft, lightweight, and supportive with the adjustable buckle at the waist, and wide shoulder straps that cross in the back. I purchased the heathered green and I love it!

It's great quality, but not comfortable for either of us. Hopefully it's better for him as he grows.

I really disliked everything about this carrier. I've only used it twice now, and there is just a lot going on and difficult to put on by yourself.
The best!

LOVE this carrier!! So cozy for baby and so quick and easy to put on for mama. He sleeps like a dream in here and there’s no buckles or straps by their face! It far outshines all of the soft wraps and structured carriers we have tried with our other two babies! For sure my favorite

My baby loves napping in this baby carrier, especially when her tummy hurts and she doesn’t feel comfortable laying down. She’s 4 months old
Lifesaver!

Autumn - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
Since my baby always wants to be held, we tried four other options before this one (ring sling, baby ktan wrap, and two other structured carriers) -- this one is the winner. It's very simple to use (only three snaps and they are super intuitive). The fabric is soft enough (the more structured ones irritated his skin and made him fussy). While still giving enough support that I don't feel the strain on my back like a wrap . Winner for us!

This is the best carrier besides a wrap! I used this when my son was a newborn and still use it and he’s currently 8 months! I like the soft material for both me and baby and it’s comfortable. I will say, after carrying him for a while it does start to hurt your back but he’s 22lb currently. Would highly recommend!
Difficult to support baby due to material

Really wanted to love this but because the material is stretchy around the shoulders, I had to really tighten it (multiple times) for my baby to feel supported and at the right level. So while I felt comfortable, my baby acted like she couldn’t take a deep breath because of how tight I had to make it.

I bought this and started to use it when my baby was two weeks old . It’s light weight easy to use . As a mom of 5 I’m always on the move and baby doesn’t like to be put down so it comes in handy. Of course being less than a month postpartum my course my certain was how the bottom strips go around my belly but it’s adjustable and isn’t uncomfortable like I though it would be . This is a must for moms on the move in and outside the house .

My newborn hated this wrap! I even waited till she got bigger (2 months) and she just never felt comfortable even after folding it up to make it fit her better. She preferred the Moby wrap or the Lalabu carrier!

Easy to use, quick to get the baby set up in. Definitely on the warmer side, so good for the colder months. We go hiking in the woods a lot, and I feel this carrier is better suited for more even ground walking rather than the trails. But it’s great for errands and city life.
Nice

The material is nice, I feel like my newborn is still too small for it. will take some time and adjusting with the straps to get the right fit

This carrier is really uncomfortable. The weight isn’t distributed properly, and it puts all of babies weight on your stomach causing a ton of pressure/discomfort.

This carrier is so easy to put on solo (which you’d think should be for every carrier but I can promise you that’s not the case)!! It’s extremely comfy- love the shoulder straps.. it’s easily adjustable to snuggle baby up! Not bulky and easy to move around the house or out on the town in. I LOVE having this to keep my newborn close while also tending to a toddler. My baby loves it too- instantly settles and falls asleep for hours while in it.

I initially held off on buying given some marginal reviews. Once I received I loved it. It is the only infant carrier I tried that truly supports baby’s head in an upright position. Almost hands free. The best newborn product we’ve bought and amazing to keep hands free to play and interact with our toddler.
