Ergobaby Upsie Sling Baby Carrier

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.

I love the ease of this carrier- it’s great for short trips here and there or carrying a clingy baby around the house for shorter amounts of time. I got this for traveling through the airport and loved that this is compact and takes some of the weight off of just carrying my daughter. The down side is that I can’t quite adjust it small enough for my 5’2” frame. On the smallest setting it is still slightly too long and sits slightly low on my hip. I ended up still keeping it because the quality and price are unbeatable for this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive the Upsie Sling Carrier through the Stellar testing panel to review. As a conscience momma, I was pleased to note that the Carrier is made of cotton, as well as being extremely hefty quality. I also found that the buckle made it very easy for a quick release of my girl when she was ready to be put down I also absolutely love how compact the Carrier is. I can keep it stashed very easily in my bag as it can roll up quite small. I find it especially handy to have when I am shopping, as my girl doesn't like staying in the cart and constantly wants to "hold you". I would note that the Upsie Sling Carrier is not something I personally want to use for long periods of time. Although quite padded, and comfortable, the weight of my child is resting on my one shoulder. It is still the perfect tool for my situation as my girl doesn't want to be held long anyway. We can do quick up and down rotations and I can still use my arm instead of having to focus on holding my girl and putting her down. My girl now brings me the Upsie Sling Carrier frequently as she loves it so much.

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.] Easy to use hip carrier, perfect for when baby is cranky and wants to be held. My LO is very active and I feel like I have to grip her really tight or she’ll flip out of it and it doesn’t feel very stable. We did take it to Disney and it was perfect for short walks between rides and the parade. Took the weight off my hip and arm so I could hold her longer. Shoulder strap is incredibly comfortable but it does take trial and error to adjust for you and LO. Pocket fits iPhone!! Mainly use for keys? Very easy to get out while carrying a baby. Folds down so nicely and keep it stored in car. Overall good carrier just nervous about stability. I received this product as part of the stellar product testing panel.

[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 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.
