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.] This simple sling has been so useful while running errands. My almost 2-year-old is a sweet little clinger and usually only lasts a few minutes in the seat of the grocery cart before she wants to held, so I’m trying to hold her and push the cart and pick up food. But with this sling, I can set her down and slip it over her and under her booty, and she’s usually happy to be so close to me. It takes some time to figure out the best adjustment, but once I got it where she could sit comfortably, I just leave it. The sling fits easily in my diaper bag, or I just put it on my passenger seat when I know I want to use it while out and about. I’m so grateful that I got to test this sling out as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I’d been looking to buy a sling for months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've loved babywearing since my kid was a newborn, so when I had the chance to try a new one via the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I jumped at it! My kid is now an active, 30 lb toddler, so easy on and off with a comfortable carry is key. The Upsie hits most of these notes, with a simple buckle closure and lightweight design. It took a bit of troubleshooting to figure out how to adjust it, and we are still working on the fluidity of getting in and out. That said, my kid LOVES this carrier for its closeness and comfort. I do wish that the carrier design was slightly more versatile... it hurts after a while. I don't think I could rely on the Upsie for a full day outing but it's our first pick for quick jaunts in the neighborhood. And I look forward to trying it out in an airport the next time we take a trip. All in all, recommend as an addition to your arsenal if you'd like to extend babywearing into toddlerhood and value compact convenience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Upsie Carrier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it has quickly become one of my favorite go-to baby gear items. The compact design makes it so easy to keep in my car or bag, and it's also a great alternative to a traditional carrier now that my toddler is getting older and doesn’t always want to be fully restrained. Putting it on is simple and fast, and adjusting it to fit is just as easy. I can get my toddler quickly, which is a huge win when we’re on the move. The carrier helps take a lot of weight off my arm while holding her, and while I do notice some strain on my shoulder after longer stretches, it’s still much more comfortable than carrying her in my arms. We’ve used it for quick trips to the park and grocery store, and it’s perfect for those situations where I don’t need a stroller but still want support. My toddler seems secure and comfortable, and I feel confident carrying her in it. The front pocket is a nice touch too, it’s great for tossing in keys so I don’t have to dig through my bag. Overall, the Upsie Carrier is a thoughtful, convenient product that’s perfect for quick outings, and I’d definitely recommend it to other parents looking for something compact and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Upsie sling carrier from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it came in very handy on our most recent family vacation. I've used other toddler slings before, but I like that this one's design has much more back support. So if I need to be fully hands free for a few minutes, I can remove my arm from behind my daughter's back without feeling like she could fall out. The shoulder strap was wide and secure, and our toddler found it so comfortable that she didn't even ask me to get out. It was easy to slip on and adjust, and it was helpful to be able to put my phone and keys in the front pocket. Its compact size is also great -- I can just fold it up and toss it in the stroller basket or glove compartment without it taking up space. Overall, this sling is comfortable and convenient for busy parents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, the sling carrier is a good product. It took me a while to start using it because I was confused about how to adjust the straps. The instructions showed drawings without captions and the drawings were unclear to me. I scanned the QR code and watched the video, but the video didn’t have any narration. I’m still unsure about how the straps are supposed to be adjusted or secured. I ended up using my best guess. I wanted to use this carrier for outings that aren’t stroller-friendly and for moments when my son doesn’t want to stay in the stroller. In reality, my 20 month old son only lasted a few seconds in the sling before melting down. He didn’t like being contained. The sling wasn’t comfortable with a squirmy toddler, but it might be fine for a different kid that doesn’t want to move so much. The sling is compact enough that I plan to hold on to it and give it a few more attempts. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to try this sling through Stellar Product Testing Panel and am really enjoying it. I have a 14 month old that strongly prefers to be carried and I’m pregnant at the moment, so this product has been a life and back saver. It is so easy to adjust and work with. I’ve tried different types of carriers and this is so simple. I’ve used it to go shopping and to be able to cook in the kitchen, it’s a big help. My phone fits perfectly in the front pocket and it’s what I use to identify the front. I only took a star off because I’m not sure if my toddler is too long, but it could use a little more back support for her. Other than that it’s a good product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this carrier as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it’s been really helpful for quick ups and downs with my little one. It’s compact, easy to throw on, and my kid seems comfortable and well-supported in it. We’ve used it for quick errands, trips to the park, and around the house. It folds down small enough to stash in a diaper bag or stroller, which makes it a great backup option. That said, the shoulder strap does start to dig in after 10–15 minutes. It’s fine for short bursts, but it doesn’t distribute weight well enough for longer outings like zoo trips or airport travel. I liked the front pocket—it’s a small detail, but it’s convenient for keys or a phone. Overall, this sling is a great “quick grab” carrier that does its job well in short stints. We still reach for our traditional carrier when comfort is the priority, but this one earns a spot in our rotation for its simplicity and size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I wanted to like the carrier, but honestly, I’m having a hard time. The simplistic concept is great! The size is great - fits it in the diaper bag and can take it on-the-go anywhere. The fabric and colors are great. Even the small front pocket for a phone, etc was a thoughtful gesture. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t function practically. I tried using this with a 25lb 1.5yo and a 36lb 3yo. The sling is cut in a way that is either too shallow and felt like my kiddo was going to slip out the bottom, or too deep and uncomfortable with the kiddos knees way above their hips. My older toddler expressed that it hurt when her own weight squeezed her legs between the edge of the sling and my own body. The sling was awkward to put on and adjust, especially when trying to use the extra elastic safety band that’s intended to encompass the buckle. I also think the shoulder strap could use more padding. My pregnant wife tried to use the sling, but could not find a comfortable position for her or the kiddo given her growing bump. In her words, “it’s harder to use the sling than to just carry the them!” Love the concept, but it just didn’t perform for us.
