Wildbird Aerial Carrier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carrier lives up to the hype, it’s comfortable, beautiful, and easy to put on. My daughter falls asleep within minutes and it’s so helpful to be hands free. The only problem is now I want one in every color 😂

Best baby carrier I’ve used. Easy to get on. Only con — I wish you could have the baby face forward.

Description says “breathable linen” it truly is not. This carrier is sooo thick and while wearing baby we get so so so hot, hoping to get more use maybe in winter cause it’s too late to return. Love the buckles though and it’s pretty comfortable other than not being breathable. Should have waited till baby was here to get it so if we didn’t like it could return.

Loved this for the last few months, but one at a time, the snaps used to adjust the seat panel have broken making it unusable for my petit baby. I have reached out to the company for replacement parts, but they cannot fix it since it was purchased through Target.

I was sent the wrong color, I ordered the willow and they sent me the green one. It’s fine because it’s still a beautiful color and the item is as advertised. I’m excited to try it out and see what all the talk is about .

I have been using this carrier nearly every day since I had my son 4+ months ago and I am absolutely obsessed. This was a new-to-me brand so I was hesitant to buy it and initially bought a carrier from a commonly used brand (BB) and this one is SO MUCH BETTER. The comfort and support is unmatched. My baby currently weighs 17 pounds and I can wear him comfortably for over an hour without back pain (which I cannot say about the other brand), plus he loves being in it and being close to mama. My husband loves wearing it too. The Acadian color is beautiful and it’s very easy to get on and off. Highly recommend!!

I absolutely love this carrier!!! With my heavy baby it's so much more kind to my back with the cross back design! We took it all the way to Europe and it was amazing! The only thing I would change is adding satin to the straps so they don't rub my neck raw (which only happens after using the carrier for hours).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my carrier. Supper comfortable and beautiful!! Will purchase another color!!

Love it! Love the color, the fit, the fabric! Would be extra amazing if there was a pocket !!

I'm so bummed! I've had this carrier for less than a year and it already tore a hole right where my baby sits. He only weighs 19 pounds now so I'm not entirely sure how it didn't hold up since it says it can withstand much more weight. I loved it for the newborn phase but unfortunately it just didn't last like I had hoped it would.

I really wanted to like it but it didn’t work out. Didn’t fit comfortably and hurts my shoulder. I had to return the carrier.

This review is longer than I intended, BUT I’ve had over a year with the aerial, so hopefully this is helpful! 🤗 My baby is now 14 months old and we have spent hours and hours and hours together with this carrier. 🥰 With an older one running around, the aerial made it easy to keep my little one close, help him nap, and more. We have taken it on countless walks, we’ve traveled with it, we’ve hiked with it, we’ve breastfed on the go. I almost bought a second because we were using it so much (and my baby LOVED sucking on the straps...so I had to wash it a lot—it holds up so well!). It was great for naps on the go...although the flap for naps/privacy does nothing to help with head support once it’s not in the newborn/early baby mode of being tucked into the carrier. My baby’s head would kind of flop sometimes while he was asleep (he was fine) and I would tuck him back onto my chest. Now he is older and I’m using a ring sling more because he isn’t being carried for hours at a time/he always wants to see what’s I’m doing, so being on my hip makes that easier. ⭐️ The only reason why I’m taking off a star is because I really dislike back carrying with this. The wide, cushiony straps are amazing when front carrying, but they were uncomfortable to me in the back carry position. I have broad shoulders and yet, it was too bulky. I also don’t love how tricky it is to put baby on safely on the back. And, given the orientation of the buckles, you tighten them in a weird way to get baby secure in the back carrying position. 5 stars for front carrying!!!!! Probably 2 stars for back carrying. It works, but adjusting the straps for the different positions is a hassle and the other things I have mentioned, make it not worth it to me! I’ll still grab for this when I occasionally front carry, but reach for my ring sling for front/side carrying or the baby Bjorn for safe + easy back carrying instead. I’m really glad I had the wildbird, it was amazing for us, and I’m glad I have other options too. 🔥HOT TIP for sleepy parents: there are FIVE snaps for adjusting the carrier in the waist belt and the inner most one for the newborn fit, is REALLY tucked away. I definitely had clipped it wrong at first because I couldn’t count five snaps when looking at the manual and thought I had it right...maybe get it snapped into position before the baby arrives 😅 I’m almost done 😂 Three things that I wish would change about this carrier: 1. Better head support for naps for older babies. Snaps or something to keep the flap up, would be great. 2. Sun cover. I would use a light, breathable blanket and tuck it around him—which actually worked great for protecting his arms and legs from the sun too. 3. A pocket!!! I love the collab that Wildbird did where they made carriers with the zippered pocket (and the sun cover). Why isn’t that standard??!

I absolutely love this carrier! I have one of the stretchy wraps and my baby was not a huge fan, often the pressure from the wrap would cause her to spit up as well. We have zero issues with that in this carrier since it is more structured. Super comfortable to wear for hours, I feel her weight evenly in my back instead of my shoulders. This is worth every penny!

This carrier is so comfy for baby and me! I actually had another brand but saw my friends Wildbird and decided to go for it. It was definitely worth it!

LOvE this carrier. So easy to put on and baby settles so easily on this carrier. The back support and padded straps make a huge difference for comfort

The carrier is very comfy except for the straps are too close to your neck and not as comfy as it would be if they were wider
