Ergobaby Upsie Sling Baby Carrier

I got this for a trip to Disney but ended up not even taking it because I couldn't get my toddler to sit in it without crying for any time at all really. I don't know if she just wasn't a fan, or if it was uncomfortable in some way, but I was bummed. I loved my ergo when she was itty bitty, so I thought this would work but it didn't for us.

This sling is wonderful! It’s perfect to help distribute the weight and keeps my wiggly baby (11 months) close and comfortable. I can also use it with my toddler when he gets tired. I also love how compact it is so it doesn’t take up too much room in the diaper bag.

This item is good in theory but not very useful in reality. The straps are very hard to adjust both on and off your body even if you are getting assistance from another person. The bucket seat hit right under my little one’s legs and would eventually cut off circulation. It was also very hard getting my little one adjusted into the seat correctly. Wish it worked out better for us!

Very easy to wear and use love the pocket not easily adjusted. Must adjust before going out with it but overall great carrier

It was difficult putting my baby in the sling and it really hurt my shoulder and back.

I absolutely could not have survived without our ergo baby mesh 360 carrier. So I thought I’d give this a try since our little is now 20 months old, and approx 25lbs. Didn’t love this one. With my dominant arm free, this cut into my trap/shoulder, and neck. Scooping her in and out was a bit of a hassle and did not love that it was really hard to tighten the straps to get a good fit. Adjusting the straps with her in it was impossible. Went right back to the 360 mesh carrier, much easier and hands-free. Returned the sling.

While I like the idea, getting the sling securely fastened, with one hand, while holding a baby, is really challenging. I want to love it, but hard to use in practice.

I love my regular ergo Omni breeze but as my toddler is almost two she was feeling restricted. This sling carrier allows me to load or unload her in seconds. Keeps her close for that slim to slim comfort but allows her free movement of her upper body to eat/drink, play. We just used at a theme park for waiting in line and it takes away the bicep cramps that plagued me without a carrier/sling.

I really wanted to like this sling but unfortunately ended up returning. It is not possible to adjust the strap tightness while wearing the sling. Very difficult to find a comfortable fit with my toddler even with my husband trying to adjust while I hold her.

I was very excited to try the Upsie Sling. The enclosed instructions were not very clear, and the video on the product page could use some updates. Overall, I could see using this for an assist when walking through the airport, but it has not been very practical for us for daily use (recovering from wrist surgery and was hoping this would help during that time).

Really wanted to like this item. Ergobaby products are usually my go-to. The sling is made out of typical high quality Ergo fabrics. However the shoulder strap is unfortunately really uncomfortable and misses the mark. There’s hardly any cushioning or a way to comfortably place the strap. It’s difficult to adjust, especially once baby is in the sling, and just digs into my neck the whole time. This is sadly an item I will be returning.

Love this carrier for my 30lb 2 year old! My one feedback is that I wish the storage pocket was bigger or positioned differently so I could stash a couple diapers or wipes and a small travel changing pad to ditch the full diaper bag when we’re on the go! Otherwise love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with this carrier. This is my first sling carrier and it is my favorite. I have used a traditional carrier and also wraps and I love this one. My one year old is in the stage where she wants to walk on her own and then be picked up and then walk on her own and then be picked up. This sling carrier is so great for this stage. I love that I can wear her on my hip and she feels supported. This has been great grocery shopping when she no longer wants to sit in the cart I can just put her in this carrier. I also love how compact this carrier is and I store it in the diaper bag when not in use so it’s easy to get to on outings. The storage pocket didn’t do much for me. I put my iPhone in it just to see the size and it barely fit. It took me a minute to figure out how to do the initial adjustment to make it comfortable and have the shoulder strap sit properly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall impression: tricky learning curve, but well made with durable material. I was given this baby carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My toddler (45 months) loved being carried when she was a baby. As she grew, I began to favor back carry options most, but she still loves to be carried on my hip. The Upsie is soft and machine washable, with sturdy buckles. I used the QR code to watch videos because some illustrations on the insert were unclear. We trialled the Upsie while tending the garden, doing household chores, and training and walking our dog. The fit worked best for us when we were able to help each other adjust it to ensure our daughter's spine was aligned with the logo as directed. The bucket seat is generously sized and I'd feel confident with an infant. It never fully felt right for my daughter's body. She is petite for her age. I'd love more guidance for wearing this sling with the older end of the recommended range.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my review and I’m SO glad I did because it has been a game changer for quick trips. I tested this with my very large (23lbs) and very clingy 11 month old. I have been so impressed with how comfortable it has been to carry her around. The strap is thick and the wrap around the shoulder is surprisingly comfortable. The fabric is also soft but durable. I wouldn’t wear for this for an extended period of time, but for quick trips in and out of the grocery store this has been perfect. I keep it in the front seat of my car and find myself grabbing it frequently instead of using the big stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was excited to use it with my toddler, who is almost 40 lbs and tall for his age. (The Upsie weight limit is 45 lbs but there is no height limit that I could find.) My son's height made it a bit challenging for him to get comfortable, but after some adjustments he was happily contained. We used a variety of carriers with him as an infant, but as he's gotten older it's been tough to find a carrier that is suitable for toddlers, for situations like walking through a big airport. In comparison to a hip carrier like the Tushbaby, I prefer to use the Upsie, because it is designed to be used hands-free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Upsie baby carrier by Ergobaby is the perfect carrier for me and my busy 18 month old! I have two toddlers and we go on outdoor adventures daily. My youngest loves to be independent and follow her older brother around but often needs walking breaks and wants me to pick her up and carry her, which is hard on my back and arms. This carrier has been a game changer! It folds up compactly so I can fit it in my diaper bag or tuck it into the bottom of our stroller easily. I can quickly put it on and it is very easy to get my toddler into the carrier. There is only one buckle and the straps are easily adjustable. My toddler seems to love the carrier. Her body rests comfortably on my hip/at my side and I can tell she feel secure because she doesn’t squirm or try to get out like she has with other carriers as I tried as she has gotten older. The carrier has an additional storage pocket that fits my phone and keys perfectly, which is another added bonus! I have already recommended it to a few friends! I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and haven’t flown since getting this carrier, but I am excited to try using this on our next trip involving flights because I feel like this would be perfect for toting my toddler around the airport. The only downside to this carrier is that, while the padding of the shoulder strap is very comfortable, it did feel like there was a lot of pressure on my shoulder when I carried her for a longer distance (over half a mile). However, the pressure wasn’t too bothersome and did not cause any soreness afterwards, so that is why I am still giving this a 5 star review :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Upsie Sling carrier has been a game-changer for outings with our toddlers. It’s super useful for when we don’t want to use a bulky stroller. I’ve been using it to carry my 3-year-old decides she wants to stop riding her scooter on walks, and also to carry my 1-year-old at the grocery store while I push my older child in the cart. Both kids are comfortable and well-supported. Like any carrier, it takes some practice to get your child into the carrier and position them correctly. However, the QR code on the package makes it easy to learn. The compact design is incredibly convenient, fitting easily in the diaper bag. Additionally, the front pocket makes it easy to access my phone or wallet. As a seasoned babywearing mama, the Upsie Sling stands out as my favorite carrier for toddlers. It’s comfortable for both older and younger toddlers, compact, and easy to use. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Upsie Sling Carrier to test and review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Upsie Sling Carrier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it’s been a great option for quick outings. It’s super easy to put on by myself, and once I figured out the adjustments, it was simple and comfortable. I especially loved using it at the store, the park, and the aquarium. The shoulder strap is well-padded, which helped with comfort, though my 17 lb baby still felt a little small in it. I kept a hand on her at times, but it supported her well and took pressure off my back. The front pocket was perfect for my phone and keys, which made running errands so much easier. I also love how compact it is—I keep it in my car so it’s always ready to go. I'm excited to keep using it as my baby grows and fits into it even better. Overall, it’s a convenient, supportive carrier for short trips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Ergobaby Upsie Sling Carrier I received for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have mixed feelings. It’s great for quick errands like grocery runs because it’s lightweight, folds up small enough to fit in my diaper bag, and offers decent support for my toddler’s hips and back during short trips. The little pocket is handy for essentials, and I like that it’s certified ergonomic. The downside is comfort. My toddler is 25 pounds, and while the sling is rated up to 45 pounds, it gets uncomfortable for longer outings. My toddler can also wiggle around pretty easily, which doesn’t feel as secure as I’d like. Adjusting the straps is tricky, so switching it between me and my partner or wearing it over different outfits can be frustrating. Overall, it’s convenient and compact for quick, on-the-go use, but not what I’d choose for long days or when I need extra support. I still prefer a more structured carrier for comfort and security.
