This is a game changer. My 11 week year old loves it. I have my hands free to sterilise bottles, wash dishes, make food or take her a walk. Definitely but this. My husband also loves it and finds it fun to have while looking after baby. He says he feels free to do things.
Really like this carrier as it is generally simple to put on and I can do that by myself which was the aim of the game – something to make it easier to wear and carry baby when mum is home alone! The diagram instructions are a bit confusing so seek out the online videos for instruction and pay attention to baby length as that determines how much you fold over the carrier. I find the shoulder fabric does tend to ride up which can be a bit annoying but it’s not the end of the world.

Got this one and the 360 and haven’t used the last one yet, felt it was too big for a new born, the embrace though, is great for new borns and baby is 6 months now and we are still using it. One of our best purchases!

I used a baby k’tan for my older 2, and loved it, however with my newborn it was really hurting my back (probably because I’m old now haha). I’ve got an ergo 360, and the Omni 360 which I LOVE, but not so practical for use in the house with a tiny newborn so decided to invest in this since it’s good to a year. I’m so glad I did! Super easy to use, VERY comfortable, lightweight, and folds quite small to put in bag for outings.

Perfect more structured carrier. Generally I use wrap slings but I wanted something a bit sturdier for when I take the baby for dog walks or into town. It’s fiddly to use at first but once you get the hang of it, super easy. Instructions very clear. Soft material.

This sling is amazing. Much easier to use and more comfortable than the more structured slings. Easy to do the clips up yourself if no-one else is around to help. I’ve carried our (currently 5 month old) baby around town and up mountains in this sling. It really is fab and baby seems to find it very comfortable. She often falls asleep in it for hours.

I love, love, love this carrier! I’d been using a couple of baby k’tan wraps with my little one since birth – fab around the house but I found I needed to keep adjusting them when out & about. Thought I’d give a more structured carrier a go & stumbled upon this one. So supportive & comfortable, my chunky baby (3 months, good neck control) is really happy in there & feels secure. (That said, he’s used to being carried – not sure how older babies who have never tried a sling/carrier would fare.) Getting out has become waaay easier! Easy enough to pop on & off once you’ve done it a couple of times. Pricey, but I’m really happy with my purchase. I’d highly recommend!

This is my third carrier and it’s perfect. I don’t get back ache and it feels so comfortable and supportive. The material is soft. It’s so easy to put on so I can put my little boy in it and get a few bits done in the house. It’s also really easy to adjust. I can’t bend over without supporting my boy with my hands but I don’t suppose any carrier allows for that.
We tried a few carriers -loans from friends- and then as a last ditch attempt to settle baby for longer I bought this and we are all sooo happy. Baby loves it. Usually has one of her day naps in it which is helping keep her from getting over tired later and so naps well in crib now! Hooray for ergo baby. We had the mesh version for our eldest and still think this one was worth the investment as baby settles in carrier so well.

This is lovely and soft fabric. Easy to put on. Supports my back and distributes weight evenly so it doesn’t pull on my neck or shoulders like previous carriers.
I have tried 5 different slings/carriers and this is by far my favorite
Not as easy to use as they make out as instructions are not intuitive, but they have a video which explains it better, hence my rating.
My son was asleep when I put him into the sling but not sure how easy it works when he is awake fraying his arms about etc. When trying to do it myself, but am sure I will learn in time to be more confident with that.
Would highly recommend for those who like my son want to be held all the time, so this gives you hands free to get on with just brushing your teeth even or making a feed.

Looks comfortable, I did try to use but got stuck.

We wanted a baby carrier for our newborn that was compact and supportive for the adult. This was the best option as it seems to be the only premium carrier with lower back support for the adult. Overall it is comfortable and supportive. The competitors don’t have the back support are either really flimsy or a too bulky.

This is the 2nd baby carrier we bought and really happy with it, easy to use and most importantly to put on on your own. Highly recommended
Very comfortable and supportive for our newborn. He seems to love it. First time I have used a sling/baby carrier so was a little anxiousz but this one is perfect. Pleased with our purchase and would recommend.

This is such a good buy I’m so glad I bought it. At first I thought it was a little expensive but it’s really worth every penny. My baby loves it in here. He is 11 weeks old and whenever he is tired or irritable, I put him in here and he is so calm and often falls asleep very quickly in it. It also means I can get things done such as housework or cooking without worrying about him waking up if I I put him down. It’s so easy to put on and comfortable. The fabric is soft and keeps my son warm.

Really comfortable, easy to use and very supportive for baby. A nice mid-carrier between a full structured carrier and a soft sling. It can be a little tricky to do the shoulder straps up one handed while holding baby, but a lot easier to put on by yourself than the wrap style slings or some of the more structured carriers. You do have to do up the waist portion with two hands, but afterwards can do it all one handed. I highly recommend

Having a bit of trouble using with my 4 week old in the newborn setting, the fabric doesn’t seem to come high enough to give him enough neck support so I end up holding his neck. Apart from that I really like it, easier to use than a wrap, the back support is great, the fabric is nice and soft and the little one will go to sleep.

This carrier is so comfortable, and so easy and quick to put on. The material is nice and soft, yet supportive. It’s adjustable straps means I can secure my baby in snug and then adjust for comfort. I’ve been using it on long walks without any issues. Plus it’s washable.

Used for the first time today with my 10 day old daughter. Very comfortable and felt supportive. Material is very soft and good quality. Happy mama

I have been looking for a sling where I can move freely and get on with cooking/housework etc but I really couldn’t deal with all of the complicated wraps available, even the ones that claim to be easy were like rocket science to me. This is the perfect alternative, my 7 week old loves it and it’s nice a small so folds up nicely. I recommend for this purpose, I have a more sturdy sling for outside journeys.

I bought this item for my 4 week old as I wanted something with a bit more support than the wrap sling I was using to free up my hands for jobs around the house and walks. My baby still seems a little small for it but the design does provide support and imagine in the coming weeks this will improve further as my baby grows.
Pretty easy to put on without help after a couple of practices.
Lovely to have baby that close. However I do worry if it might be a bit too warm and snug during warmer weather.

Great baby carrier, have used this with my 3week old. So easy to put on once you’ve used it a couple of times. Comfy to wear and comfy for baby. I’ve worn it around the house and on walks, baby loves it and falls asleep straight away.Would highly recommend this product.
As I haven’t got a little person to try this out on, I passed it on to a friend with a newborn. She said it is easy to figure out in the first instance then easy to use and comfortable after that, and there are options for how to place the baby facing in or out. Her baby seems really comfortable in it too – most of the time totally snoozing away – and the head support is good for the littlest of babies who can’t support their own head. We think it won’t be too long before her baby grows out of it though, it’s definitely intended for smaller ones – weight limit is 11.5kg but if a baby had longer legs or was chubbier it might be uncomfortable before then.
This is a very comfortable baby carrier ideal for newborns.
The straps are large for over the adult’s shoulders which means they don’t dig in or hurt.
The material is soft and feels durable.
The design looks modern and more stylish than some of the others on the market.
I would recommend this product for newborns especially as it has the head support too
This is an excellent baby carrier, it’s in a soft and comfortable fabric with easily adjustable straps; once adjusted the fixings are secure. My daughter-in-law previously had an ergo carrier but found this one must easier to fasten with baby in it. The grey colour is simple and classy and goes with any other colour. It’s comfortable to wear and so comfortable for baby that my granddaughter, who’s 5 months old, was asleep within 10 minutes of being in it. Love it.
Unlike some slings which take a degree in origami to master (wraps!), the Ergobaby brand is easy to use. It doesn’t need to be a two-person job to put the sling on and get baby in it, as there are only three straps.
The Ergobaby Embrace is made from a soft and comfortable material, and is ideal from newborn upwards. It can be used either inward- or outward-facing, but it’s more supportive when baby is facing in.
It’s very compact and easy to roll up and carry when not in use. The grey colour is stylish and appealing. While the price is quite high, you definitely get what you pay for.
This Ergonomic Baby Carrier is good. But is just to carry small babies or newborn baby the product description recommended until 11.3 kg maximum but I think is less, big babies have no space for legs. Anyway is very well made and the materials are really really soft and they looks very resistant, very light to carry around or in your bag.
Babies look comfortable in there and the position that they have is very good for then close to your body, this, in particular, has an ergonomic frog-leg position, I think is a really good design for newborns.
Is very easy to use just follow the instruction at first and after a few times, you will be an expert. The shoulder straps are easy to clip and they are comfortable to you, is better than what I thought on the beginning.
Easy to walk around and hands-free. Babies are safe and comfortable in there. The colour is great, neutral for boys and girls and you can wash in the washing machine.
We were torn between using a baby carrier or a baby wrap for our newborn, then we came across the Ergobaby Embrace Baby Carrier a cross between the two. This carrier comes with all the cuddleiness of a wrap with all the ease of a baby carrier, its as simple as click click and you are ready. The carrier is so light and only uses a single piece of fabric meaning it keeps cool during summer days. The carrier also has great neck support and spreads the weight of your baby across your back.
This item arrived safe and well packaged.
This baby carrier is made of lovely soft fabric! It has the webbing where needed, but all of that lush fabric makes this a dream to wear, and so comfortable for baby too!
The straps are all adjustable in the right places to make this easy to find the correct fitment. I was very impressed with the way baby is secured into the carrier without hassle. I’ve tried carriers before that hadn’t quite got this right, so very well done for resolving such an issue.
I highly recommend this product.
Supersoft material, this is very comfortable to wear and is easily adjusted.
The straps are thick and very strong, yet are easily adjusted for either me or my wife to wear/carry.
The two great things about this baby carrier:
1) You and baby are close. It keeps baby warm and almost like you’re constantly hugging
2) You have the use of both of your arms!
I can also wear a back pack whilst wearing this carrier.
I was always worried wearing my baby in wraps and slings that I didn’t have her secured properly. LOVE this carrier especially for my newborn baby! She was immediately comfortable and slept so much in this. Would recommend watching a video to show you how to size it for a smaller baby.
I decided to take this carrier on our two week family holiday to Spain for my 7 month old instead of our usual baby Bjorn carrier because it is compact and folds quite small so is a good option for travel. My husband and I used this quite a lot and there’s a couple of things I like about it, others less so…here is what I found…
It’s designed in soft stretchy fabric and mimics the design of a stretchy wrap sling, two pieces of fabric crisscross over the shoulders and are clipped diagonally at the side. It’s a bit tricky to get baby in by yourself because of this design, you have to balance baby in one hand while trying to pull each piece of fabric diagonally with the other hand, not impossible but takes practice. The fabric is soft but the first thing I realised after a long day travelling between airports is that it is nearly 80% polyester and gets so warm and sweaty. So disappointing that this isnt made from a more breathable fabric.
The carrier can be used in two positions, facing in and out. I find facing inwards to be fine, my daughter has a good level of support and its comfortable to wear. When she is forward facing however she ends up hanging forward with her chin flopping down, there just isnt enough support in the design or fabric to hold her in a comfortable position. The strap buckles are all adjustable but they’re quite loose, even though you can secure them in position there is still quite a bit of lag so I can never seem to get them to stay tight enough.
Overall I feel this carrier is designed more for younger babies, and would be a good choice for a newborn if you are considering a stretchy wrap but want something slightly more structured. It’s very comfortable to wear but I don’t feel my daughter is supported properly in forward facing position so I wouldn’t recommend it if you intend using it predominantly to forward face.
Very very soft material which makes it very comfortable for the baby and also mum.
It comes with instructions. At first it was not very obvious how it worked but then reading the instructions I understood how to use it.
Baby was comfortable at first and then started to be fussy in there, I don’t think it was exclusively the sling the reason why he was like that.
While wearing it I had the feeling the baby was safe so in the meantime I did something else without holding the baby by hands but only with the sling support.
Average price, very good quality.
I would have preferred the instructions made not like that, as they open like a map, but like a booklet instead.
This Embrace Baby Carrier for Newborns is very comfortable and of a very good quality. With ease it can be used, it does not cause back pain during use, due to its shape.
One of my neighbours has recently given birth to a baby daughter, and, always happy to help out where I can, my missus and I gave this Ergobaby Embrace Baby Carrier – she didn’t have one. She’s lived with it a few days, and says she is really impressed with it. It’s not complicated to set up, and the washable soft cotton material is lovely. The youngster is amply supported, and mum can carry her around – baby loves it. She’s a few months old now, and is really taking in what she sees around her. Excellent product.
I cannot recommend this baby carrier enough!! It’s soft and the grey colour is lovely, there’s no happier baby than a sling baby!, I wear it both in and out of the house, my buggy has been demoted to the hallway cupboard! The sling can be forward facing whilst baby is young, then world facing when baby gets a bit older and more enquisative, you can even breastfeed in it! I wear it to wash up and do housework whilst baby sleeps snug and safe, and keep it on for school runs etc, and it has the ergo quality, supporting babies hips and parents back.
Ergobaby make a range of baby carriers of all types including papoose type units. This is a front loader and is designed to carry your very small child in front of you, either facing you or looking away. It’s designed for very small babies, nothing too big, and the fabric and design lends itself to this. There is sufficient padding to keep the parent comfortable though I wouldn’t want to carry one around for too long. This method of carrying has become popular because it frees the parent up to use their hands and not have to worry about parking a buggy or trying to get one through a crowd.
The whole thing is open sided to allow some airflow and it’s certainly been well thought through. I like the compact design (you can fold it up and stow it) and it’s machine washable as well which is always a bonus. At the time of writing this there’s no price tag on Amazon but it’s just under 80 on the Ergobaby website and about 72 on John Lewis so it should be somewhere around there. I actually think that’s a bit of a high price to pay but that’s just an opinion.
This review is for the embrace baby carrier for new borns.
I’ve.never owned one of these but have seen a lot of people use them. Upon receiving the item the first thing that will stand out is the quality of the box. I know that’s sounds a bit dumb but if the company has spent time and effort in the packaging you know they will have with the product also. The box is relatively small and comes with a rope loop handle ( very impressive for a first impression especially if giving for a gift)
Once opened you will not be disappointed. The item itself is super soft and excellent material. It’s breathable and just what you would want for a small baby. It looks and feels so soft and comfy that I’d be pretty happy to take a snooze in it myself!
There Item is large enough for a large baby and I think you would get a good 8-12 months usage out of it.
It may seem a little pricey but I think it is defo worth it!
Highly recommend to have a bit of convince and free hands. Can also be washed! Perfect for travelling!
Baby carrier is light and comfortable. The thing I liked about it is the fact that there is purposefully less material between mum and baby so baby can feel close to mum and should be able to feel and hear her heartbeat. It’s grey and made of a soft jersey type material and is very light. Adjustable straps around the waist and at the sides, it’s a strong baby carrier and easily washed at 30 degrees.
I haven’t used this Ergobaby Embrace Baby Carrier, but my wife has, so her review is as follows:
Using this with our newest grandchild, I was amazed at how baby carriers have improved since ours own children needed carrying…all those years ago. The best thing about this baby carrier is the width of the straps that go across your back. They don’t dig in and are so comfortable, and really help to distribute the weight evenly when you’re carrying the little one. This carrier can take from birth to up to 25lbs, so can accommodate a good age range. The material is very soft and snuggly for the baby too. It was easy to put on, although I initially thought it was going to be complicated. But you really just need to position it over your head, then get the straps comfortable, then do up the side straps. Not cheap…actually rather expensive, but you do get what you pay for with this I think, and it’s definitely worth it if you’re planning on using it a lot. After all what price safety and comfort.
A nice thick baby sling that my daughter (7months) fit into quite well and seemed comfortable when I was walking about with her. I manages to get stuff done at home and feed her while she was in this. Took me a while to figure it out and get her secured but I got there in the end. This is probably less hassle than pushing her around in a cumbersome buggy and it’s nearly zero strain on the back. A great product, very safe and secure.
This is a lovely, soft baby carrier. Much nicer than canvas, rough feeling ones I’ve had in the past. The actual carrier itself is so light and comfy for both me to wear and for baby to sit in from newborn. It feels very secure with baby in, it clips around the middle and is adjustable and the straps that would touch babys face are soft and don’t rub.
I feel very confident that this is safe to use and it’s great for walking around the house when trying to get baby asleep as they love feeling close to you at all times, especially my newborn who I personally can’t put down because I’m in love! Even sitting down and chilling, wearing this ensures baby is safe on your lap too while they’re needing extra head support. It can also be used for baby facing inwards towards you or outwards when they are bigger.
All in all, recommended – there’s not currently a price on here so I can’t comment on the value for money, but i’ve paid up to 50 before for similar things.
We are still awaiting the arrival of our son/daughter, however, we knew we needed this! I haven’t yet had chance to try it with a baby but Ive fully inspected it and can say with confidence due to the simple yet secure fixing design that I would have no concerns recommending this for your most precious cargo!
Its a nice unisex colour and I like the fact its either front or back and also, very quick to put on and fasten, an easy way to keep mobile and productive whilst looking after little dude!
A very useful product and I expect baby to take plenty of naps in this when they join us!
Nice and light baby carrier.
I would want it light as with the baby you dont want to carry excess weight.
Its a nice clean grey material.
Our baby takes naps in it and can sleep comfortably for over a hour in it.
Its a good size and holds our baby safely and securely.
This is easy to use,
I felt that my baby is safe and comfortable in this,
It is well made,
Comfortable for me to wear,
A nice colour.
