Ergobaby Upsie Sling Baby Carrier

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of a newly walking 1-year-old, this carrier will be super helpful this year as an alternative to a ring sling. I’m short and live in a hot climate, so I appreciate that it doesn’t have the long fabric of a ring sling and it’s less material around my body and the toddler in the summer. It feels secure and supportive, though the instructions recommend keeping one hand on baby, so it’s not truly hands-free. For quick-short carries, it’s a great, compact option for the car or diaper bag. I was given this baby carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has been a large baby since birth. He’s now 14 months old and walking but still loves to be held. My back and arms couldn’t handle holding him all the time, so this sling carrier has been a HUGE help. It has taken so much pressure off my back and arms. There is added pressure to the shoulder, but my boy is heavy so I feel like that’s unavoidable. I love love love the little pocket on the carrier and it also has elastic bands to hold the straps so they’re not dangling. This product was sent to me at no charge by the Stellar Review Panel, but I will likely purchase a second one for my husband! I cannot get over how much I love this carrier.

[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.] 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 received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and was excited for an easy-up/down carrier for my simultaneously clingy and independent 20 month old. Lately I’ve found more structured carriers annoying now that she wavers a lot between being held and walking on her own. The Upsie carrier is a simple design that's easy to store in a diaper bag or below a stroller, and quick to set up. While the carrier was convenient for short stretches,, I found it to be less comfortable if she wanted to be up for more than 10-15 minutes. She didn't feel fully secure in it and even after adjusting the straps, my shoulder carrying the weight was uncomfortable and it wasn't completely hands-free. I'll continue to bring it places where she'll mostly want to walk and a stroller would be too cumbersome. I'm also new to sling carriers so don't know if the lack of comfort is Upsie-specific or just what I should expect as I carry an almost 25-pound toddler on my side.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Upsie sling carrier really impressed me. It’s easy to use and comfortable for both me and my active 15-month-old. As a fan of the brand (I own the original & 360 models), I had expectations, and it delivered. For quick stops, it’s a lifesaver: I can transfer my child from the car seat to the sling in seconds. On longer outings like walks at Red Lake or afternoons at the park, the carrier stayed comfortable, and the shoulder strap never dug in, saving my arms during those frequent “up and down” moments. My toddler felt secure throughout. Adjusting the strap was a bit stiff at first but became easier with use. I also appreciate the fabric—it’s sturdy yet soft. The front pocket fits my phone perfectly. Its compact design is ideal for travel; I easily stash it in my purse or car. I received this carrier for free from the Stellar Product Panel in exchange for my honest review—thank you! For parents looking for a grab-and-go carrier, the Upsie sling is definitely worth considering.

[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.] 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 was given this baby carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My toddler is almost two and currently 30 lbs. We live close to Disneyland and I was excited to try this at the park for the afternoon lines. It was definitely an improvement over holding him in my arms with no support, but I think my child is too big/ heavy for this to work well for us. It took a lot of adjusting to feel like it was secure on his bottom and I wasn't able to get him back in position easily after getting off the ride. The pocket in front is too small to be useful, and the cream color got stained just sitting in my stroller. If you have a smaller child, I could still see this being a helpful carrier, it's just a miss for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through a Stellar Testing Panel. I’ve so far used the sling to carry around my toddler but look forward to trying it out with a baby that’s on the way! I appreciate the simple design of the carrier - not too many straps to adjust to get going. The fabric on the sling itself is durable and well-constructed. It took me a little bit to figure out how to get my toddler into the sling but once I did, it made future load ups a breeze. The shoulder strap isn’t the softest or most padded option but does the job of helping to offset some of the weight and helps me feel confident that the sling is keeping my kid secure and balanced. Overall I like the sling. It’s great for my toddler who wants to be close to me at all times but I know it will come in handy with a second baby in tow as well!

[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 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby carrier. As a mom of 4, I have tried many baby carriers. While this baby carrier is super easy to adjust, put on, and slide baby into, it’s just not for me. No matter how many times I adjusted or moved straps and tried again, it just was not comfortable on my body. We tried it with my 14 month old, and even though she can sit up on her own, I felt like I was still having to hold onto her. I felt more like a mail carrier using this sling.
