Age suitability

Pros
Parents say the Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh Baby Carrier is comfortable, easy to use and offers multiple carry positions. They love the strap length and say it’s easy to adjust. One parent wrote, “It doesn’t hurt your back much compared to other carriers as it has a well designed lumbar strap.” Perfect for when you want to leave the house but don’t want to take a pram with you.
Cons
Some parents say they found it challenging to use at first. But now they can’t imagine life without their baby carrier. It’s also a bit more expensive.
Example review
“I love the ergo carrier – so easy to adjust to fit myself or my husband and baby is really happy in it too. Super comfy to wear. When my baby was little, he would fall asleep in it too. I have the light grey one, which I have found sometimes gets dirty, should have gone for a darker colour.”

Pros
Tell Me Baby parents say the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier One feels super sturdy and is easy to put baby in and out of. They also like how you can “lift up the little front flaps if the baby’s head needs extra protection.” Others said it’s very supportive for your back.
Cons
Similar to ErgoBaby, some parents found it hard to use at first – but say they soon got the hang of it.
Example review
“This is probably our favourite baby product! After the first 4 weeks of breastfeeding and carrying Bubs around my back was killing me! This carrier saved my back!! It has really good lumbar support, so the majority of the weight is off your shoulders and back, and distributed more into your hips. It’s also super easy to put on by myself. Love it!! Me and hubby wear it all the time!”
