    Super comfortable and great for 2 month old!
    This carrier is great for my 11 pound two month old. It's a lot softer than the Ergobaby Omni carrier and my daughter likes this one more than the Omni. They are pretty similar in shape, except this one allows you to stretch the should straps over the edge of your shoulders to take the weight off of you neck

      The TLDR;

      This is a great carrier for your baby from the time they are born (>7lbs) to over a year old (<=25lbs) that is comfortable, simple to use, and extremely portable. At $79, even with only a year or so of utility for the average parent (unless you have another child!) it is worth the price paid in terms of utility, material quality, and thoughtful design.

      + Comfortable, breathable fabric that is tested and found to be free from harmful substances and safe for human health.
      + Easy to set up and wear correctly
      + Portable and compact when folded
      - Only works for a small weight range from 7-25lbs, limiting its useful lifespan for parents
      - Needed a bit of 'break in' time to get the elastic parts to loosen up for ease of use

      *Utility*
      The baby carrier is easy to set up with a three-step process, rolling and securing the belt buckle, cinching the fabric at the waist belt, and then securing the shoulder straps across your back. It's important to ensure that the baby's legs make an "M" shape and they are secured high up enough for you to kiss their head. Their airway should be clear and the fabric should not rise above the baby's ear. This was easy to do with our 2w old baby who is around 8lbs. The most common problem people may have putting this on is the process of rolling up the belt one fold and securing it high enough up on midsection, it's almost around your navel or lower ribs, not your waist. It is extremely important to read all instructions and watch the videos to ensure you're wearing your baby safely!

      The carrier is extremely light and breathable, and stretches just enough to make it comfortable but without compromising the tightness you need to wear it safely. The belt and straps are plenty long enough to accommodate pretty much any body type.

      The major benefit of this carrier is how compact it is. It folds up into a bundle small enough to hook on a belt loop, or toss into a small bag to carry. This means we are more likely to have this on hand when we need it and can readily travel with it without worrying about bulk.

      This carrier is very much intended for the first year or so of your child's life with a max weight of 25lbs, which means that it will have limited time of use for most families. This will not work for toddlers, who are often well above 25lbs. We already own an ErgoBaby Omni Dream from our first child, which works up to 45lbs... however, that carrier is more complicated and bulky. This will be a major buying decision for parents, whether to prioritize short term use or long term use. In our case, our 2yo hates being in a carrier, so having a carrier that accommodates his weight has little value for us. If I could go back in time, I would skip the ErgoBaby Omni Dream and buy the ErgoBaby Embrace for the newborn stage and then donate it or give it to a friend when we no longer needed it.

      *Build Quality & Care*
      The Ponte Knit fabric is buttery soft and very comfortable to the touch. It's relatively breathable and is not a bother to wear for extended periods of time, even in warm weather. My opinion is that this fabric blend is more comfortable to wear than the alternative air mesh, but at the cost of maximum breathability. Finding a carrier that carried certifications for being free from harmful materials was important to my partner and I, as the baby is breathing right up close to the fabric and touching it all the time. This carrier has a Oeko-Tex 100 certification, which doesn't necessarily mean it is perfect, but that the finished textile product has been tested and found to be free from harmful substances and safe for human health. This was a major plus for us.

      The stitching and build of the carrier is solid, with no visible loose stitching or loose fabric/threads to be seen. I did have a tough time with the elastic belt loop that holds the waist strap being too tight when it was new, which made putting on the strap properly tougher, but that has loosened up over time.

      The Amazon description for the Ponte knit fabric does say that it cannot be machine washed, however, having run it on gentle in the washer and hung to dry it was totally fine. ErgoBaby's instructions indicate it is safe to machine wash and air dry, but recommend using a pillowcase to stow the product while washing.

      Love!! So much easier than a wrap and sling. I had the ergo baby 360 gifted for my shower but I was very hard to manage myself. This is very easy to do when alone and fits from newborn and up.

      Get this! Super easy to use on your own. Don't waste your money on those cloth-only wraps... this one is easy, comfy, perfect.

      Works well with my newborn twins. Obviously it only fits one, but it’s super easy to take on/off which is a must with having two babies. Definitely recommend

      I was so excited to try the Ergobaby Embrace carrier because the idea of keeping our newborn snug and close while still having my hands free sounded like a dream! The material is super soft, and the jade green color is absolutely gorgeous—it definitely lives up to the “cozy” promise.

      The problem? Our baby hates it.

      We tried a few times to get him settled in, but he won’t let us wear him for even a few seconds without squirming and fussing. He’s only a newborn right now, so I’m hoping it’s just an age thing and that he’ll feel more comfortable in it as he gets bigger. Since we already washed it (because newborns!), returning it isn’t an option, but we’re planning to give it another go in a few months.

      What we like:

      • Super soft fabric: The material is lovely, stretchy, and comfortable for me at least. I could see how it would be great for both mom and baby… if baby agrees.
      • Easy to put on: Compared to some other carriers, this one is pretty straightforward to use, which is a big plus when you’re juggling a fussy newborn.
      • Great for future use: I can tell this will be really handy when our baby is a little older and (hopefully) more cooperative.

      For now, we’re in a holding pattern until our little guy is ready to give it another shot. I’m optimistic that it’ll be a lifesaver down the line, but for now, he’s just not having it.

      I’d still recommend it, though, especially for parents with babies that are a bit more chill than ours!

      Tecido macio e resistente. Muito prático de colocar, boa ergonomia e sustentação cervical para o bebê. Minha filha está com 1 mês e por enquanto só tenho elogios.

      The carrier is excellent, very soft and extremely comfortable for the baby.
      Also a great back support, I can wear it for longer stretches of time. Love the product.
      The only note if you live in a hot climate it might be a bit hot for the baby as the fabric makes them or warm and snug, so make sure it is not too hot for the baby.

      Ordered this to help carry my baby around while doing tasks and for those occasions when baby didn’t want to stay in the stroller. It is super comfy for both parents and babies, the material is very breathable and doesn’t not make you or your child sweat. The straps are adjustable for any height and weight and it really helps relieve back pain from carrying baby around all the time. However, I did find that it is better for smaller children up to 9 months old, afterwards it kind of pulls you down and puts more pressure on your spine that relieves it.
