Ok, but not a must have item

published

Perfect, loved it.

published

I love the stowaway because it was lighter and not as bulky and hot. It was also excellent to fold up as it fits into a tiny bag. Great for carry on the front and back, both my bubs up to 2 years old. I live in the tropics so I wanted something that wasn't hot. Bub was very comfortable. Very easy on and off and very easy to adjust. Great all round, no complaints at all.

A great first structured carrier.

published

I loved my Ergo Original. It is quick and easy to use and good for front and back carrying. I like the fact it has a zippered section at the front. However, I did find the straps a bit bulky, and the back panel isnt as high as other ergos or carriers.

Love it and can carry baby for hours

Frustrating to put on!Waste of money!

published

Rushed out to buy one to relieve us from carrying bub but I can't believe how difficult it is to put on. It is frustrating using the newborn insert, it takes two of us to set it up by which time bub is screaming her head off :( Got sick of it so it sits in the cupboard and have only used it once. The belt around waist is not the most comfortable either especially after having a caesarian!

Lifesaver.

published

I use two carriers. This one, and the Moby wrap. This is by far, the most convenient carrier I have ever used, and I have used a fair assortment of them. I can carry her comfortably on my front, side, or back for very long periods of time. She falls asleep almost immediately in it. There's also a large pocket in the front to conveniently place your phone, money, pacifier, or anything else. It's super easy to put on and adjust when I'm by myself. The only thing bad that I can say is that it made me a little nervous using this when she was a newborn. She slouched down and couldn't set her legs right. She's 5 months now and this thing could not be any better, I don't think.

Perfect

I wasn't going to worry about having a baby carrier, but I'm so thankful I bought one, I absolutely love this Carrier it's easy to put on, baby is very comfortable in the insert as he's only 8 weeks old he falls asleep, the extra fabric in the front is great for providing shade or blocking out wind over the baby's head just snaps on to the shoulder strap, it's comfortable to wear and the pocket in the front is great for wallet and keys so no handbag needed during shopping, this is a great product.

hurt baby's hips

published

I used this carrier with my first baby, and it went well, however I am ringing with bub #2 that it is hurting her hips. She is currently 6.5kg and 4 months. I am finding that I need to use the baby bjorn instead until she gets a bit bigger. A bit disappointing having to invest in 2 separate carriers.

Love it and so does bubba ERGOBABY ORIGINAL WITH NEWBORN INSERT

published

I used this from week 2 with my LO and he still loves it at 5 months. I used it with the insert until he was about 5.5kg (as it specifies) but Im still using the bum cushion as it holds him higher so he can see a bit more. He chews on the strap now (he is teething) which is annoying as I was it a lot so Im looking at getting a strap cover made for him to suck on instead. So easy to put on and take off although I did watch a youtube video tutorial as I wanted to be sure I was doing it right

Comfortable to use, baby loves it.

published

I was passed down an ergo baby after a few failed attempts of other brand carriers.
My baby loved it and fell asleep in it after the first 5 minutes of use.
Great to use when in a crowded place or to settle an unsettled baby.
It did take a bit to get use to fastening the back buckle once baby was in it.
Only downside is that she out grew front way use and didn't like being on my back.

Wonderful baby carrier

published

My daughter and I have been giving the carrier a good workout and I can see more babies in the future using it too. I suffer from severe back problems and have struggled with other baby carriers but this one is so comfortable and suits me brilliantly. Thank you Ergobaby.
Comfortable, recommended by health professionals, versatile, pretty

Awesome product. Comfy for Mum and bub.

published

I had been using a borrowed original Ergobaby carrier and decided to buy the 360 so that my son could look out. The hip positioning for him is excellent and I wouldn't consider any other brands that face out due to their bad positioning. He is extremely happy and comfortable in all the positions. I am finding the carrier much more comfortable than the original as well with no more back pain and the straps sit a lot better so that they don't rub on my arms. The only small negative I can find is that it lacks storage for keys, bank card, etc as I like to not need to carry a bag when using the carrier.
Excellent hip positioning for baby. Comfortable for both of us. Easy to adjust between different positions.
No storage.

Original Sport

Hi - is it possible to front carry bub forward facing in this carrier

1 answer

Yes but only when the baby's neck is strong enough. Maybe from at least 4 months old onwards depending on how strong your bub is.

I’ve been given an Ergobaby carrier but it’s an old one so I have no idea which model it is and if I need to buy an insert for it. The only information I have is that it’s red and has the old Ergobaby logo. Any help?

1 answer
Ergobaby
Karrie H.Ergobaby

Hi Matt and Sarah - due to the carrier being older and having the old Ergobaby logo you will need an insert to wear your baby from newborn (3.2kg). If you want to be 100% sure before you purchase the infant insert please feel free to send a picture of the carrier to [email protected] and our team can verify your carrier make and also help you to purchase an insert.
Our carriers are made to last so we hope that you and your baby will make many happy memories in your 'new' Ergobaby carrier!

Help me decide between buying the ergobaby Omni 4 positions or the ergobaby Omni cool mesh... friends have offered to combine and buy us one of these but I have no idea how to work out which would suit us best!?
We have a newborn, live in Sydney, to be used by myself (average size) and my husband (6’2” and history of back problems). Thanks!

Hi Alana, Congratulations on the birth of new bub, very exciting times for you and your family. Thankyou for choosing Ergobaby as your carrier of choice. What a generous offer from your friends - an Ergobaby carrier is definitely a great gift idea!

To answer your question, both the Omni 360 and the Omni 360 Cool Air essentially work the same. However, the biggest difference is the type of fabric they are made from. We would describe the Omni Cool Air as a great all season carrier as it is made from a moisture wicking fabric as well as being designed with mesh panelling. This ensures that the Omni Cool Air is a carrier which will help keep yourself and baby cool in the Summer months. A lot of our Ergobaby parents describe the Omni Cool Air as being more comfortable to wear throughout summer.

As with any new product bought into the market there are always tweaks, adjustments and improvements made on exsisting designs. The Omni Cool Air is the newer of two to hit the shelves. So whilst the fabric is the main difference between the two, the Omni Cool Air has been designed with an improvement to the way you are able to change the carrier from facing baby in to facing baby out. We have replaced buttons with easy to use sliders. Some of our Ergobaby parents find these easier to adjust than using the buttons.

In regard to the difference in height between yourself and your husband, this won't be an issue with whichever Ergobaby carrier you choose. Both are designed to be easily adjusted to fit all body types. We have a collection of YouTube videos you can watch online which will give you a clear instructions on how to adjust the carrier to be the right fit for each of you.

Hoping this helped you make your decision. Our biggest piece of advice would be to go into one of our authorised retailers and try each of the carriers on with bub. This way you will be able decide which one feels like the right one for you and your husband. Good luck with your decision.
