Q: Does this need the infant insert?

submitted by Aav - 10 months ago
  • A: No, no infant insert is needed with the Embrace carrier.

    submitted byMarie - 7 months ago
  • A: No - I use The Embrace every day - no infant insert needed!

    submitted byMarie - 8 months ago
  • A: No, there is no infant insert needed with the Embrace carrier

Q: Is this carrier easy to use for one person? Can one person reach the straps, buckles, and ties?

submitted by Ali Ole - 2 years ago
  • A: Since the shoulder straps buckles in the front, it makes it easy for one person to use the carrier.

  • A: Yes! This is the third type of carrier that I tried because I needed to put it on myself and was getting frustrated with how challenging the others were to put on. This one is easy to put on solo - I’ve worn it around the house, taken baby out of car seat and put directly into carrier by myself to walk around the store, airplanes, etc! Easy to adjust and also take off by yourself. Material is comfy too - highly recommend!

Q: Would this carrier comfortably fit plus size parents?

submitted by Ds0701 - 2 years ago
  • A: The Embrace baby carrier fits a wide range of bodies and most sizes XS-XXL.

  • A: We were kind of alarmed at the size. It BARELY goes around my husband - he's a large person, but not XXL. He wears 36x34 pants for reference.

Q: What are the differences between the Embrace and the Omni 360?

submitted by Jenna - 4 years ago
  • A: The Embrace Cozy newborn carrier is soft, cozy and super comfortable. No complicated wrapping or tying. This carrier keeps you and baby close as you find your new rhythm together. This Embrace is great for the fourth trimester, when you are sticking close to home and easing the transition for baby into the world. The Embrace can be used from 7-25 lbs. While the Embrace carrier can be used up to 25 lbs, we recommend that once baby reaches about 4-6 months, and is developmentally ready to see the world in all directions, we recommend the next carrier in our Ages & Stages line, the All Position 360 baby carrier or Omni 360 carrier.

Q: Is this one machine washable?

submitted by Susan - 4 years ago
  • A: You can launder your carrier using a mild detergent on a gentle cycle with cold water. You can use the dryer for about 20 minutes. It will still be damp. Hang out to dry for the duration of the drying time.

I love this carrier because the material is very soft and slightly stretchy. The over the shoulder straps splay out to distribute the weight over your shoulders, not just straight up and over. This makes it much more economic so it does not hurt my back like other carriers that have straps that go just straight up and over the shoulders.

Uncomfortable

Marissa - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Bought this carrier and it’s just so uncomfortable. My baby is 3 months and wears 3-6 months and it just seems to small. He is approximately 15lbs. I would definitely say this is for newborns. I did not like that there is no head support. I went and bought a Lillebaby and that seems better. I originally was avoiding a big carrier b/c I like how simple my moby wrap is. But this one is definitely not the one.

This carrier is great!! My baby is 4.5mo and we've used it probably every day. I would definitely recommend watching the video on the ergobaby website on how to put it on.

I didn’t like this carrier. My son is 8 lbs 12 oz and it’s so uncomfortable for both of us. My son cries and it just never seems to sit right in my shoulders. I’m thin and short and it just doesn’t work. I returned it.

Not for Long Babies

themirandadon - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
My baby has a long torso and never seemed to fit correctly in newborn nor infant settings. Didn’t support his neck and just felt less secure than other brands. Went back to my carrier from another brand that I used for my older kids and he fit perfectly.

Emily - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I purchased this to use for my 5th baby, and it is my first soft structured carrier. It's so much easier than a traditional wrap, and much less bulky than a structured carrier. This is the perfect in-between carrier. It is super soft, lightweight, and supportive with the adjustable buckle at the waist, and wide shoulder straps that cross in the back. I purchased the heathered green and I love it!

Bought this for our baby boy and it’s perfect! the best carrier around especially for boys! I tried a couple other brands but nothing beats this! Definitely a little pricey but well worth it.

LOVE this carrier!! So cozy for baby and so quick and easy to put on for mama. He sleeps like a dream in here and there’s no buckles or straps by their face! It far outshines all of the soft wraps and structured carriers we have tried with our other two babies! For sure my favorite

Autumn - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Since my baby always wants to be held, we tried four other options before this one (ring sling, baby ktan wrap, and two other structured carriers) -- this one is the winner. It's very simple to use (only three snaps and they are super intuitive). The fabric is soft enough (the more structured ones irritated his skin and made him fussy). While still giving enough support that I don't feel the strain on my back like a wrap . Winner for us!

This is the best carrier besides a wrap! I used this when my son was a newborn and still use it and he’s currently 8 months! I like the soft material for both me and baby and it’s comfortable. I will say, after carrying him for a while it does start to hurt your back but he’s 22lb currently. Would highly recommend!

Difficult to support baby due to material

Eman S. - 1 year ago
originally posted on Ergobaby
Really wanted to love this but because the material is stretchy around the shoulders, I had to really tighten it (multiple times) for my baby to feel supported and at the right level. So while I felt comfortable, my baby acted like she couldn’t take a deep breath because of how tight I had to make it.

I bought this and started to use it when my baby was two weeks old . It’s light weight easy to use . As a mom of 5 I’m always on the move and baby doesn’t like to be put down so it comes in handy. Of course being less than a month postpartum my course my certain was how the bottom strips go around my belly but it’s adjustable and isn’t uncomfortable like I though it would be . This is a must for moms on the move in and outside the house .
