Omni Classic Baby Carrier for Newborn to Toddlers 0-48 Months

I had an ergo years ago when my kids were babies/toddlers, and it was my favorite out of the 4 carriers I had. They have only gotten more awesome. Pros: - Waist strap takes a lot of weight off the shoulders. This has to be one of the best things about this carrier. Others put ask the weight on the shoulders, which is more uncomfortable. - Many ways to carry. This is my second favorite feature. Some kids like to face forward, some want to face towards you, and when they’re older it’s often more convenient to carry them on your back. - The same carrier will work from infants all the way up to toddlers. And I used it from newborn up until 3 yrs old! - Washable. Very important, since little ones tend to chew on the straps, and slobber everywhere. - I love how easy they have made it to switch from facing you to facing forward. Just slide a couple pieces over and you’re set. - Durable. Mine lasted for years, through 3 children and many washes. - Several colors to choose from. I chose charcoal, because it will show the least dirt. Light colors and black all show dirt and stains more easily. Remember, kids will chew and slobber on anything they can get in their mouth. My beige one from years ago had several stains by the time my 3 kids were finished with it. - You can breastfeed your baby in it, though it’s a little tricky. If you can manage it, others probably won’t even know your baby is eating, and you can breastfeed modestly in public. Cons: - A little pricey, but totally worth it. - It can be warm. This has improved somewhat, with the breathable covering of a lot of parts. But in exchange for being able to carry a little human against you, and making sure they are secure, it’s going to be warm. I got this ergo for a cousin who is having her first baby. It’s a must have for moms who want to have their babies close, or for those who like hiking and other activities and want to take their babies or toddlers along.

I’ve tried a few carriers over the years, but the Ergobaby one was the best. as someone with scoliosis and torticollis I was worried it would make my back and neck pain worse, but it’s been the opposite. The support and structure really help distribute weight evenly, so I’m not feeling that usual strain in my lower back or tension in my neck. The padded straps and sturdy waistband take a lot of pressure off, which makes a huge difference for me. I can actually wear it for longer periods without discomfort, which I didn’t think would be possible. It also feels secure and comfortable for my baby, so I don’t have to constantly adjust or worry. If you deal with back or neck issues like I do and still want to babywear, this has been such a game changer.

There are a lot of things I love about this baby carrier. One of them is not the extensive instructions on how to use, but it is essential that you read them! There are a lot of parts to this carrier. It can be overwhelming. But if you take the time to read carefully, this carrier will serve you well. There are so many adjustable parts which is nice because my husband is one foot taller than me and sixty pounds heavier, but both of us can easily wear this carrier since it’s so adjustable and versatile. It feels sturdy and durable, fits snugly and ergonomically, and my baby seems comfortable in it. And how nice that we can use it for more than just a few months! It came just as pictured - the mesh material is really nice and cooling - and it’s easy to fold up and store in a small space. Looking forward to using this for a long time on trips and whatnot.

Purchased three different “Amazon-sponsored” off-brands that were nylon material, unforgiving in the weight distribution sector, offered itchy/scratchy skin irritations for both myself and my infant, and did little to support my back and body while she was in it. I thought others would be able to duplicate this product for a lower price- totally wrong. I also tried the Baby Ka’tan wrap and it was great for my daughter when she was small enough to papoose around my torso as a newborn. But it didn’t “grow” with her! Long story short: Should have gone with the Ergobaby from the get-go, rather than eyeing a cheaper price for a baby carrier. I found, in my experience that I wasted time with the other off-brand models when I could have been enjoying walks and hands-free everything with the Omni360. You get what you pay for, and in my opinion, this carrier is a must-have splurge for all new moms and dads alike. It offers my 7 month old daughter a comfortable ride (she loves forward-facing walks) without compromising my comfort, and a more stimulating, eye-level view of the world. If you’re looking into purchasing this carrier, make the further personal investment and watch the instructional videos on how to put this on by yourself. I find that it gets easier to do so over time in this carrier because of the seating support and the emergency safety loops. It does take some patient finessing, but I feel that my daughter is safer, more cushioned & supported, as well as more comfortable in the Omni 360 - and the same goes for me. She currently weighs about 18 lbs, and this carrier lifts her right off of my pelvic and lower lumbar areas and straight onto my hips. The carrier personally hugs me (currently 190 lbs and would qualify as “plus” size) and supports my back and shoulders so I can carry her for a long time. I’m excited to keep growing with her in this (she can be carried in her up to 45 lbs if I want/need her to be) and trying all the positions I can wear her in!

I love this! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the user manual. There are 5 different ways to set this up for baby and it can be very confusing to figure out. Once I took the time though, this has been a perfect fit for us! Its comfortable, made with solid material and you can use it for a long time. It has a small picket you can take off for a phone, keys, wallet etc. Has a few safety features that make me feel like my baby ain't going anywhere. Highly recommend!

Perfect in every way!

I love it. It is absolutely perfect—great quality and very comfortable for the baby; I love the back support it offers. I looked at so many options because my baby wears a Pavlik harness, and this one undoubtedly works really well for us.

The Only Baby Carrier That Doesn't Leave My Back Wrecked As a stay-at-home dad, I've tested more baby carriers than I care to admit. The Ergobaby Omni Classic is the one that earned a permanent spot in our rotation — and my back is why. I can wear this thing for 2-3 hours straight without reaching for the ibuprofen. The lumbar support and padded shoulder straps actually do what they promise, which — as any dad who's suffered through a cheap carrier knows — is not guaranteed. It's also certified hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, which matters when your pediatrician brings it up at every visit. The versatility is real. Four carry positions — inward, outward, hip, and back — that grow with your kid from newborn all the way to 45 lbs. We're at 10 months and it still fits perfectly with easy one-handed adjustments. The pull-out sunshade and front pockets for pacifiers and a wallet are small touches that make a big difference on a long day out. Is it bulky? Yes. Is it expensive? Also yes. But here's my honest take — if your back starts hurting after 20 minutes in a carrier, the carrier isn't working for you. This one works. The back clip looks intimidating the first time. It's not. Give it two tries and it becomes second nature. Bottom line: If comfort is your dealbreaker, this is your carrier. Dad-tested, back approved.

I would recommend this one if you are looking for a stable comfortable baby carrier. Love the colour, and the fit.

I read a lot of reviews before deciding on the Ergobaby OMNI 360 Mesh Carrier. From everything I read this seemed to be one of the best carriers & it definitely is. After watching a few instructional videos on how to use it, & getting it adjusted for me & my baby & practicing putting her in & out, I find it very easy to use. It is super easy to put baby in & out on my own, has great back support, all the weight distributed on your lower back, barely feel it on your shoulders. By baby seems comfortable in it, have only used it with her facing me on my front, but I love that there is the option in the future to turn her to face outward or carry her on my back. I started using it when my daughter was 6 weeks & she was fine. I am very glad I chose the mesh option as this summer has been very hot & humid so far, although I do not wear it when its 25 degrees C or warmer as it just gets too hot for me & baby. Also like how there is a sun shade in the front pocket that easily comes out to shade baby's head & how there is a pocket you can take on & off which is big enough for keys, cell phone, etc. Overall very happy with this carrier

Produto maravilhoso! Confortável para o bebê e pra quem carrega, ótima qualidade.

Un producto que cumple con las expectativas que teníamos sobre el… nos funciona bastante bien

Amazing product, as a first time mom I wanted a carrier that is light and easy to use. Ergobaby wins with its light but sturdy fabric, I use it whenever am going for walks with my 2 months old or when she naps as am doing the house chores.
