Ergobaby Embrace Cozy Soft Air Mesh Newborn Baby Carrier

I personally preferred a stretchy wrap, but my husband loved this carrier and uses this multiple times every day as our baby only contact naps. We started using when she hit 8lbs (at 1 month) and had no problems with fit, but she already had some head control by then. One note - I’m petite but not especially skinny (5’1” and 120-130lbs) and I had to tighten the straps all the way. She also still tends to slip down with wear (see photo) vs staying as high as she should ideally as I can’t get it tight enough. That being said it’s still comfortable, just more suited for my taller husband.

It's great quality, but not comfortable for either of us. Hopefully it's better for him as he grows.

I bought this carrier since it was able to be used for newborns, love the soft and breathable material. Just wish it had more neck support for baby, I found that even though I adjusted the straps my baby's neck would just hang and he wasn't super close to my chest as I expected but overall great carrier.

I love this carrier! I never used a carrier with my first 2 babies I always felt claustrophobic and hated how difficult and bulky the other types of carriers were to put on. But this is quick easy and lightweight and with this being my 3rd child I use it often! 10/10 recommend!

I was gifted this for my 3rd baby and I love it! I tried slings/wraps before with my older two (Solly, K'tan), but only used them occasionally because I never felt confident in them and was worried they weren't secure. I'm a big 360 fan, and love that the Omni has more support/structure that I'm used to with the 360 but is softer, lighter and more easily wearable and cozier fit for newborns. I used this all the time around the house and out with my baby the first few months! Highly recommend.

Great product, I did have to practice a few times using a stuffed animal but I am now able to get my newborn into it without assistance. She calms down in the carrier and seems to be comforted by being held close. Easy to take off as well.

Horrible services. I returned the baby Carrier almost a month ago and till this day I haven’t got my refund

I was so excited to use this carrier but unfortunately the last couple times we used it, it like cut into his skin and he isn’t big either he’s 14lbs and his legs were red.

Honestly I was so excited but I’m disappointed my son isn’t small nor big he’s in the normal size but when I try to face him so he can see outside he’s getting red lines in his legs and he finds it very uncomfortable.

This carrier is so incredible for newborns! Comfortable and holds them snug

I really enjoy this carrier. It’s pretty light and breathable so I don’t get hot. It’s super easy to put on and off but I feel like it’s a little weird at first. It seems pretty supportive and the waist belt helps pull some of the weight off my shoulders (although I still have a newborn so I’m not sure with older babies.) I can wear my baby for hours with little to no pain and my shoulders don’t get tired! Personally I felt that the spreadable straps didn’t make a huge difference and feel slightly uncomfortable when they are spread out. I prefer them just over my shoulders. I think my favorite thing about this carrier is that it is almost a hybrid between a wrap carrier (I have always preferred them but they are harder to wrap) and a traditional carrier. Because it’s so easy to use and adjust it has since replaced my wrap carrier! I am very happy that the Stellar Product Testing Panel provided me with this carrier! I love it!

My son is not yet even a week old, but he already loves this carrier! I have 5 kiddos, with my youngest being born at a whopping 10lbs 9oz. This makes it difficult to use some newborn carriers because he is so heavy already, they just pull down on my shoulders. That is not the case with this Embrace Soft Air Mesh Newborn Carrier. It provides amazing support, is super comfortable (for both me and him!), and is easy to use. Upon opening the box, I was surprised by how compact the carrier was. It can roll up and fold down to a rather small size which makes it easy to place in my diaper bag. This is rather impressive considering it has quite a bit of padding to ensure comfort for both parent and kiddo. It was also incredibly soft to the touch- this made me feel more confident that it would be okay touching my son's sensitive newborn skin. Ergobaby definitely makes it easy to know how to put the carrier on! Not only does it come with an instruction booklet that has multiple easy to follow photo instructions, but there are tags on the carrier itself that show how to put it on, and you can easily find videos from Ergobaby's YT channel that show someone putting it on in action. I have only used one way of wearing it so far, since my son is only a few days old (newborn carry), but I already feel confident in the other methods of wearing it because the videos and photos are so easy to follow. Once I got it on, I was shocked by how comfortable it was. Not only did it only take about 3 minutes to put it on for the first time (impressive since I had to adjust all the straps that first time too!), but the spreadable shoulder straps were really amazing for dispersing my son's weight to the point that I feel like I'm not even carrying him or holding him in it at all. He went into it and immediately went to sleep. In fact, he's sleeping on my chest, in the carrier, as I write this review. It perfectly allows him to have healthy posture and relaxes his head on my chest so he can hear my heartbeat and get a little bit of skin to skin time. I have used pretty much any carrier and wrap you can think of over the past 11 years, and this one is absolutely perfect for the newborn stage. It has all the benefits of a wrap, but the structure, comfort, and security of a carrier. I absolutely recommend this to everyone! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to have this amazing carrier in exchange for my honest review. I can honestly say it has made my life quite a bit easier to have my hands free, and my back comfortable, these first few days.

I LOVE this carrier. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I had owned a previous ergobaby carrier that was sturdy and great but super difficult to put on by myself. This updated one is designed perfectly to put on without anyone else’s assistance, making it easy to insert baby and safely attach snugly without fear of her slipping out or having to contort around my back to clip it on. Super thoughtfully designed that way. It’s also really soft, breathable material, which is wonderful for heading into the warmer months, and is soft directly on her skin. I also think it looks super chic and love the color. The straps pull down over your shoulders too for added support, which I know will make a huge difference comfort-wise as baby gets heavier. Definitely the best carrier I’ve tried and can’t wait for many forest and beach walks together using it!

I really like the Ergobaby Embrace carrier for my baby. It's easy to put on, the straps are right there by your arms to tighten or loosen. I usually leave it connected and just slip it over my head. I like that the waist strap has an elastic band to hold the extra so it's not flapping around. It starts at 7lbs and you don't need an infant insert. The waist belt is strong and fits my plus size waist. At 15lbs my baby is getting a little big so I start reaching for my soft structured carrier more, but for a soft cozyness the Embrace is treasured. I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel but the opinion is my own.

The Ergobaby Embrace Soft Air Mesh Newborn Carrier is a good choice for carrying infants. The fabric is indeed soft and it feels nice and cozy for both baby and mom. My 5 month old son loves being in this carrier, especially facing outwards so he can see the world. My favorite part is that it's so comfortable he fell asleep in it a few times while we were out! The mesh fabric is breathable and will keep us cool during the hot days of summer. The supportive waist belt is adjustable and the the spreadable cross straps offer good support. The weight limit is 7- 25 lbs so it can grow with your baby. The only thing I don't like is that the shoulder straps are very long and the straps touch the ground when I put it on and take it off. Besides that, it is fairly easy to put on- it takes me less than a minute after the first couple of tries. It's just 3 clicks and you are good to go (1 buckle at the waist and 2 on the sides) but make sure one hand is on your baby at all times. This carrier is the perfect blend- it provides the snugness and comfort of a wrap with the support of a carrier. I was given this carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

We’re avid Omni 360 Mesh lovers so I was so excited to try another Ergobaby carrier with our new baby, gifted through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I wanted to love this carrier, and I don’t mind it, but both me and my baby like the 360 better. She fusses in the Embrace carrier, but will eventually fall asleep sometimes. It took me a while to figure out how to get the carrier on correctly because the buckle didn’t seem to line up. Once I watched a video though, I was able to get it figured out. The material is nice and soft, so it’s nice for skin to skin. I have a hard time getting the straps to sit on the outside of my shoulders. And then when I do, it’s hard to do a whole lot around the house because they slide to the top of my shoulders if I move too much. I have used it primarily around the house, as it doesn’t have a sun shade for outside walks. I like how comfortable it is for around the house though.

I'm a huge Ergo fan, I've used the 360 with my first baby and even carried some friends' babies in it. My newborn was not a fan, but once I received the mesh carrier from Stellar Product Testing Panel to try, she fell in love with it too. Make sure you watch the tutorial videos because getting it on and using it the first couple of times can be tricky with the rolling, but it's such a good carrier. It's soft and breathable - the latter being an absolutely requirement for Atlanta heat and humidity. I have only washed it once so far, but I don't anticipate any damage or degrading because it's an Ergo and their products are virtually indestructible. Highly recommend this carrier for newborns specifically, although I'm sure it would be just as incredible with bigger babies.

I love the breathable, mesh fabric of this carrier! Living in Texas, the heat is always a concern and this design was comfortable for both of us to use. The carrier felt easy to put on after watching a video and the shoulder straps felt supportive. This is a great combination wrap/structured carrier - it feels soft like a wrap but is way less involved to put on and get baby in and out of. I’m so glad to have it on hand for the moments when I need an extra hand! I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I was given this carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I also have another Ergo carrier which has been wonderful but this one has been a great go to with the nice weather. Our little one is 5 months old and fits well in the carrier. She was snug but not too tight. I love the mesh fabric it is super comfortable and soft for the baby. It is much easier to put on then the other carriers I have used. I also like how the crossed straps make it feel very secure. The supportive waist belt was comfortable and I loved the extra band on the strap to give it an extra touch of security. My favorite thing about the carrier was that you can bring it anywhere. It can be super compact and fit in a bag so you can easily take it on vacation or on the go. It looks great, baby enjoys it, feels very secure, and is very breathable. Will definitely have this be the go to carrier this summer.

Love this carrier for my son who is now 3 months. It’s sturdier than a wrap but just as comfortable as one, which we both love. It’s easy to adjust, and easy to put on alone. I love the breathable mesh. We live in Arizona and it’s already over 90 during the day, so this has made it much more comfortable for me and my babe to wear. Only downside is I wish it grew with baby, my big boy will grow out of this really fast. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, my opinions are my own.
