This must be the only baby who didn’t like facing inwards in these but loved it once he could face outwards. Easy enough to take off and put on on your own and very comfy for baby
Lovely carrier yo help ease strain on your back. But difficult to put on by yourself unless double jointed during to back/shoulderblade clip – which instructions say to fasten once baby is in .. eek! Other versions have a fold down so you can put baby in once you’ve fastened the carrier, which I find easier. Perhaps as I’m shorter ?
Bought it when baby turned 6 months and wished I got it sooner. It is easy and comfortable to wear and its possible to put the baby in by yourself. It feels very safe in comparison to some other carriers/slings. My baby always naps when in the ergobaby, so when she refuses to nap i go for a walk with the carrier or do chores as I’d have my hands free. It is expensive but worth it.
I’d highly recommend this baby carrier. It’s comfortable and really simple to get baby in to – even when on your own. There’s lots of videos on YouTube which show how best to use this. I’d really recommend crossing the straps over at the back when wearing baby facing you. This makes it much easier to use.
Definitely worth the money and looks good too!
Purchased as our baby grew out of our Baby Bjorn new born carrier, this is great and so much more supportive with the waist belt, previously we used to get back pains after an hour using our other carrier, however we can walk for hours in this one. The rain cover is also handy for when the little one takes naps!
This is my first review on Amazon, I am writing it for any new parent not sure whether or not to spend the money on this, get it now, I’m sorry I didn’t get it sooner, it’s a game changer I can clean up, write in my fit have tea and she is on me it’s also super comfortable for both me and her.
After trying multiple different ones I finally found the perfect baby wear. Comfortable, doesn’t kill your back and in fact provides good support, allows many ways for baby to face you, easy to put on and remove. A little expensive but worth i
I bought this for my Son who became a dad for the 1st time 7 weeks ago. He is over the moon with the carrier and finds it so easy to put on and hardly restricts him from doing anything with his baby son snug inside. It is really comfortable and supports his back and baby completely. Well worth what i paid for the carrier.
Bought this as my son loves facing outwards when carried. He seems to find it comfortable. It’s not as comfortable to carry him in as my sling sadly. Also getting him in and out is a struggle alone sometimes. It’s annoying how high up the front part is when he is facing outwards as he just seems to suck it all the time would like it if the front but came off so I could wash it more easily. Quite cumbersome to turn him around if he falls asleep facing outwards.
The straps are easily tightened and loosened whilst wearing it and can go on long walks with it. Was still quite hot carrying him in the summer so I dread to think how warm the others are as this is the cool version.
Super practical, even used it for doing my house works because my daughter didn’t like to stay alone. As well perfect for a walks in forest as my pram is for city roads mainly.
We have purchased this one about a month ago and I could not be happier about it! It is really easy to put on, it feels very comfortable and safe for your baby and also feels comfortable for yourself, I did not feel tired during or after crying our daughter in it. It has been a real pleasure to have her close to me on a walk where we cannot really go with the pram, because of the terrain.
With Omni 360 you can have your baby in a few different positions so they can explore the world from different angles or just rest on your chest. The material is such a great quality too, really easy to wash in a washing machine or just wipe with a wet cloth, if you need to remove a small stain. The product is designed to be used from birth and it is really suitable to do so which is not always the case even when the package says ‘from 0 months’.
We purchased this for our little one once she had been born. We had previously used our friends Ergobaby carrier when walking around with her little one.
It’s extremely comfortable for you as the parent and it adapts to your child’s size and if they want to be facing in or out.
This can be used from a newborn stage however, we found that our little one was just too small in this to begin with and she didn’t really go in this carrier until she was 3 months old.
But it offers very good support to her and is ergonomic. It’s definitely worth the money you pay.
Ive used this item from newborn to 4 months now. Firstly it is relatively robust and all straps are adjustable etc, however i have not found the shoukder straps quite thick enough to give comfort past maybe 15 mins of wearing. It is not easy to get baby into when going solo. The main waist adjustment strap needs to sit very high up your body when baby is newborn and can be sticky to tighten without help. Have recently used the expanding function for growing baby and it is useful to get extra support but i just cant help but feel for the cost of this item it is falling a bit short in the comfort department as i struggle to use it for a long shop at the supermarket.
When preparing to purchase a baby carrier that would work for hiking and expand to be equally as user friendly as the baby grows this one by far exceeded what was hoped for! Thank you!
Very safe, supportive carrier. Impossible to put on by yourself. Must have someone with you to fasten the clips round the back, disappointing.
Update: after watching videos on this through the ergobaby website I can now use this alone. My babies not keen at the moment though. I think when she gets bigger and can look around on her own she will enjoy it more.
I love this carrier so much. So does my son. Amazing colour, comfort and ease of use. Baby sits in here happy and safe and doesn’t seem to get overly hot like I’ve had with other carriers!
Ergo is a quality brand so I wouldn’t of expected anything less. The carrier looks and feels expensive. Love the different size straps for the legs to support from new born so I don’t need a separate insert. My 3 week old goes in with no issues at all he sleeps as soon as we put him in. Great secure delivery as well through Amazon, I was emailed a code I had to provide to the delivery driver before he would leave it.
I ended up buying the other brand carrier and abandoning this one…
UPDATE: when baby was about ~6month old I tried this one again and now it’s LOADS better! Baby is heavier and bigger now to actually get a good fit as well! Especially wearing baby forwards facing is a nice possibility.
I can recommend to buy but only from 5/6month on when babies are a bit bigger and heavier.
One star less for the price – too high in my opinion.
We didn’t think our son was a big fan of being in carriers but this has changed that. Easy to put on, great neck support and most importantly our son’s comfy, happy and often falls asleep looking very serene. The carrier fits both me and my husband. Definitely worth the money!
I did try the BB brand one first but the comfort was lacking for me (IMO). This Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air ticks all boxes. Much more practical, convenient and comfortable than BB. Highly recommend it and my baby loves it so much. She never complains when in the carrier. Prefer this to pushing her in the Bugaboo.
1. Grey colour doesn’t show up the little white sick marks etc like the darker colours would
2. It isn’t complicated to put on just 2 fastening clips
3. It’s very solid and not easily subject to wear and tear
4. My 3.5 year old and 9 month old can both easily and comfortably be carried in it.
5. It holds the babys legs in the perfect position and I can tell the position looks natural and comfy for him.
6. Love the flexibility of the different positions. My 3.5 year old goes on my back but my baby goes inward facing when napping and outward facing when awake.
However:
1. The fastening behind the shoulders I do sometimes struggle to reach and clip together.
2. In theory it is fine for newborns but in reality this is not a comfy cosy little wrap that holds them snug. My newborn went in this at about 2 months old and he still felt lost within it. It really wasn’t until more like 3 months that it felt better.
3. When I had my 9 month old in it wearing just a short baby grow he did get red marks on his thighs where they were resting in the leg holders. I don’t think it was actually hurting him but still thought I would mention it as if baby’s going to be in it a lot and wearing no bottoms then legs might get sore.
Overall I’m glad I got this it’s been great and I can see it lasting me for years. I think if you are looking to babywear from newborn this would work but I would actually recommend getting a natural soft sling instead as this is quite stiff and sturdy and it doesn’t quite feel right with a delicate little baby in there.
Very dissapointed as the rest of the carrier looks bomb proof.
Will be returning this one and trying another. One off or design flaw only time will tell.
Three stars for now will update review after return procedure/replacement received.
Update
The replacement item has been flawless and is now being used by a second addition having been outgrown by the original occupant.
Even a trek up a tricky Mayan pyramid with an 18 month old on board was no problem.
The carrier has provided sterling service in day to day use and thankfully has turned out to be as bombproof as the military OD colour scheme would suggest.
I tried many carriers and my baby only liked the Ergobaby but I had an old original which I bought second hand that wasn’t outward facing. With this I can have her facing outwards or inwards which she loves. Switching between the two is super easy. Recently used this carrier on holiday and it was a life saver for when baby was fussy or if I needed to pop out but not take the whole stroller with me. We’re both comfortable with the carrier. I love that it’s mesh since we live in a hot climate a breeze should keep her body cooler. Wish I had bought this from day one and not bothered with the other ones I had. Plan on using it for all my future babies!
We chose this model firstly because it was hip dysplasia safe – also because it seemed so versatile. You can wear the baby front or back, or facing inwards or forward.
At just 4-months old we’ve only tried wearing her on the front, but it is very comfortable. The wide, padded waist belt takes all the weight and there’s plenty of adjustment available everywhere else to allow both of us to get her in a comfortable position.
Ease of use is fine. My wife can get the baby in and out in seconds. I have less practise and am far less efficient but get it done fine.
We bought the cool air version, as we can wrap her up in winter (we also got the fleece lined waterproof rain cover), but also want to use it when out and about in summer. The fabric seems strong and hard wearing and she seems very happy and comfortable. So far, we’ve really only experienced using it with a sleeping baby, so when she’s older and looking around and moving more it will be interesting to see how she reacts.
Let’s be honest, it’s very expensive. I think I said when it arrived “we’ve just paid 150 for half a backpack”. But under the surface there is a well-built and well-thought-out product that we hope to get a lot of use out of over the next couple of years. It is probably overpriced for what it is, but it really does seem to be the best, it works well, is well-made and the baby is happy. Until someone else can provide all of this for less, then it is worth every penny.
Bit the bullet of the price tag but was worth it baby is super comfy falls asleep often in this!
Comfort whilst for adult is good but anything after a few hours is going to start to ache!
But saying that it is the most comfortable sling I’ve ever had
Easy to adjust from mum to dad although clasp on shoulder blade can be difficult to unclip when removing purely because the fact it’s just awkward positioning but it’s not from it’s made or anything if that makes sense!?
Your also paying for quality
