Embrace Knit Newborn Carrier - Soft Grey - Ergobaby

The media could not be loaded.I have tried several different baby carriers, and this is by far my favorite. I think this is the most comfortable for not only me, but also my baby. It is a soft material, so it is the most comfortable, especially for a newborn baby. My baby started using it at around two weeks old maybe even younger all the way to present day and she is around 7 1/2 months currently. She loves this carrier because she can face me or face out, and she often falls asleep in it. We have traveled all over the country and even to Japan with our baby in this carrier- mama loves it, baby loves it!It is definitely a great value for the price. It’s not crazy expensive but it’s also not a cheap carrier. It’s made with good material. I also really like that ... MoreThe media could not be loaded.I have tried several different baby carriers, and this is by far my favorite.

It’s not crazy expensive but it’s also not a cheap carrier. It’s made with good material. I also really like that it’s easy to put on by yourself. The straps cris cross on the back, which is personally easier than having three buckles that you have to clip in (my other back pack material carrier is like that and I find it so much harder).

I wish I had this carrier 2 kids ago. It’s not bulky, it’s sleek, so comfortable and easy to get on and off. I like baby wearing my newborn and this gives you the snug feeling and sleek profile of a wrap without the extra 5 min of wrapping. This carrier is also perfect and better than a wrap because it gives you that closeness allowing you to breastfeed in this with an easy readjustment after. Readjusting my wrap after breastfeeding was a nightmare. I had to completely take it off some times. Breastfeeding takes up a lot of time so it’s nice being able to walk around and use one hand to eat

This is hands down my favorite carrier! I have the ergo 360 and I love this one for the early months. It's so easy to use solo. Very comfortable. The baby always looked comfortable. And I love the fabric and coliur choices. I went with soft olive. I'm obsessed with this carrier and wish I had it for my first 2 kids.I wish they made this for older kids with more sturdy fabric because I love the crisscross straps.

I like this carrier because of its material, color, & price. The material is very breathable, it’s a mesh material almost jersey material that I think will be good for the Cali heat. The material makes It very comfortable for me & baby seems to be comfortable as well. The only con is that because the material is so stretchy sometimes it can feel loose or too tight on baby, but if you play around with it you‘ll find that it’s a good product for the price. If baby feels too loose try tightening the side straps after pulling up on the shoulders. They have a lot of helpful videos on their Instagram if you need help.

I was looking for a stylish carrier that is easier to put on and comfortable to wear. Kind of a mix between a wrap and carrier style. I was looking into the Wildbird Aerial, Artipoppe, and some other ones before settling on this one for color availability and price. I’m so glad I did! It is soft, stretchy on the shoulder part, easy to put on, and so beautiful. The buckles are high quality, the fabric cross style makes it comfortable to wear and not dig into my skin like other carriers. Overall super happy with this carrier and glad I got it instead of the more expensive options.

The Ergobaby Embrace is a comfortable and ergonomic baby carrier that provides great support for both you and your little one. It's made with soft and cozy fabric, perfect for snuggling up with your baby. The carrier is easy to use, with simple buckles and adjustments. It's also designed to evenly distribute your baby's weight, making it comfortable for longer periods of wear. Overall, the Ergobaby Embrace is a fantastic choice for keeping your little one close and cozy while on the go.

Cuts off circulation

I’m not one to leave reviews, but I felt this was important enough to write. I put this on my registry because I had read plenty of great reviews about it. Unfortunately, my experience was not the same. I used this a couple times with my infant. The first time I used it, she was about 2-3 months old. I read the instructions carefully to make sure I was wearing it properly and had my husband help me put our baby in. I noticed my baby fell asleep pretty quickly after placing her in it (I just assumed that meant she was comfortable). I used the carrier again the next day, so I could do some cleaning. Same result as the first time, she fell asleep almost immediately. My baby was in the carrier for at most 15 minutes each time. The following day, I noticed purple dots on ... MoreI’m not one to leave reviews, but I felt this was important enough to write.

The following day, I noticed purple dots on my baby’s legs that were not there prior to using the carrier. My friend has a baby the exact same age and she used the exact same carrier. She brought her baby over for a playdate and I noticed the EXACT SAME dots on her baby’s legs, so now at this point, I’m wondering if the carrier had something to do with these dots since we both used the same carrier at the same time. I decided not to use the carrier after these marks showed up on my baby and since she was falling asleep quickly (I figured her circulation was getting cut off). Fast forward to today, my baby is close to 6 months old, I decided to give the carrier one last try. In less than 10 minutes, I look down and my baby’s legs are completely purple (dark purple). I will be getting rid of these and never using it again.

Safety concern

I am leaving only 2 stars because I have very mixed feelings about this. I LOVED it at first. It’s so pretty (cream color), soft and cozy, so comfortable, and doesn’t make my back hurt… when baby is FACING me. Today for the first time, I faced him outward so he could see while we hung out and grilled outside. He started being really fussy and this is when his father saw his legs were turning purple!!!! It completely cut circulation off to his legs. This was terrifying and I am so thankful we caught it early. Now I’ve spent roughly $100 on a carrier that I can only use with him facing one direction safely. I will add that he is 13 pounds, 23 inches, and 3 months old…. So it’s not like he’s a big baby. Just beware!!!
