Overview

Highlights

  • 3 carry positions: newborn, front facing out and front facing in
  • Made for 0-18 months
  • Ergonomic and hip-healthy

Description

Designed with the softness of a wrap and the structured support of a carrier, the ErgoBaby Embrace is a smaller, lighter version just right for new babies and parents. It’s soft and simple to use (no complicated wraps or tying), and keeps your hands free and baby close. Use it from from birth (7 lbs) to 18 months or so (25 lbs). It’s ergonomic, hip-healthy and has cushioned neck support, too.

You can choose newborn mode (under 23”), baby facing in (over 23”) and baby facing out (over 26”). As baby grows, the spreadable cross-shoulder straps and adjustable supportive waistbelt offer a comfortable fit for a wide range of bodies.

It’s also slim and compact, so it easily rolls up and stashes in a diaper bag.

What we love about it

A sweet way to stay connected to your baby while you find your rhythm together.

Difficult to put on. Not
Difficult to put on. Not a good return policy. I much prefer some other newborn structured soft carriers like Tula Free to Grow.

Newborn Carrier
This was a gift for my great nephew and his momma – she loves it and gets a lot of use out of it. I’d highly recommend.

Love this carrier
Have been using this carrier since our little one was around 3-4weeks old and it’s been great! One of the easiest carriers to use with just three clips and super stretchy/comfy! Highly recommend!

Not great for infants in my opinion
This carrier yet super soft & easy to use was not great for my baby boy. His head isn’t supported at all and he was never able to get comfortable in it because he was too tight in there and almost too close to me. We both overheated constantly as well. Would not recommend. Maybe there’s a better carrier by the same brand but this did not work for us. Only used a handful of times and it was super expensive for just those couple times of use.

Great carrier
Great carrier, however when your baby becomes more curious and wants to look they carrier no longer works anymore because there is no way to put them forward facing. But overall great carrier for newborns!

We use it a lot.
We've used this thing quite a bit (our child is now one,) and it's pretty nice. It's aesthetic, gender neutral, user friendly (I did NOT want to learn how to use one of those wraps.) the only thing is the shoulders constantly slip inward putting the straps right in baby's face. We've been able to deal with it but it's something to note for sure.
