Ergobaby Omni Breeze Carrier - Onyx Black

I received the Omni breeze baby carrier as part of the stellar testing panel. My first thought when opening the carrier was let me get this out and try some different carrier positions and I am going to wear my daughter on the soccer field while watching son play. The fabric was perfect I prefer a mesh carrier and you can’t go wrong with the color blue it came in. It was soft and had ample pockets especially for my phone which is always in my hand. My current carrier does not have any pockets so this was a bonus feature! I prefer the fabric as it does give myself and my daughter more breathing room to keep us both cool!

My current carrier does not have any pockets so this was a bonus feature! I prefer the fabric as it does give myself and my daughter more breathing room to keep us both cool! I opened up the directions to see all the ways I would be able to wear my daughter and decided the front wearing would be best and positioned it for a larger child as she is 17 months. The directions were organized by position and clear enough to understand with the pictures. I doubted my ability but was able to strap her in. The only issue was there is not enough support and the straps do not sit like they do in the picture it was resting against my neck area. I took it off and asked my husband to start from scratch and help me position the carry and unfortunately the strap in the back again across my neck I do not feel like the weight was distributed evenly. Tightening only made my daughter more uncomfortable. I thought maybe in conclusion it may be made for a smaller framed person and I am larger chested by nature so this carrier was not the right fit for me and I was quite disappointed. I was always told to try on carriers before you buy to find the right fit and I really wish the straps were thicker and the back clip was adjustable for situations like mine. All in all I gave it a 3 star rating as it was a great carrier but just not fit for a larger framed person.

I was incredibly excited to try out this new carrier because my other one was constantly making both me and my baby very sweaty. My other carrier was needing washed often because it was hot, and I don't have time to sit around and wash my carriers constantly if there is a better way. When I first opened it, I noticed how soft the mesh was compared to other mesh carriers. My babies have sensitive skin so this was important to me. I also noticed that there was nice padding and back support. The first time I put it on, I was able to put it on by myself and adjust easily (I have used other carriers in the past, but if you are using it for the first time they provide detailed instructions on how to adjust it for your baby's size). I love how easy the panel was to move ... MoreI was incredibly excited to try out this new carrier because my other one was constantly making both me and my baby very sweaty.

I love how easy the panel was to move the width in and out since my baby likes to face inward and outward. This carrier was noticeably cooler than the other carriers I have tried (including another mesh one) with great airflow, and we both had minimal sweat even when we went picking strawberries on a hot day (it was 84 degrees F and very muggy in East Tennessee). My baby was very happy with it, and she was content to look around in it for the full hour that we picked when she is normally ready to get out sooner. I was impressed with how easy it was to switch her to a back carry on the strawberry picking day by myself. I am 5'2", and I found it very easy to wear and had great back support. My husband also tried the carrier with the baby (he is 5' 8"), and he thought it was very comfortable too. It was simple to make adjustments between the two of us. My only small complaint I have is the direction of the straps on the arms. You have to pull them backwards instead of forwards which could be a little unwieldy. I also really liked the little pocket that perfectly fit my keys and phone. I also tried this with my three year old who still fit the height and weight requirements when she was tired while walking one day, and she found it to be comfortable and cool too. I enjoyed the versatility fo the carrier to be used with my 10 month older or toddler and by both my husband and me. Even though I didn't need it since my baby is bigger, I also recommend this carrier since it doesn't require an infant insert. I never seemed to be able to get it to fit quite right, my baby never found it as comfortable, and it was hot. My favorite feature is how cool the mesh was. We love to go the zoo, hikes, and various other outdoor activities so being able to keep my baby cool is of paramount importance to me, and I like to be comfortable too! Thank you to the Stellar Parent Testing Panel for allowing me to try this awesome carrier.

As part of the Stellar Parent Panel, I was provided the Omni Breeze Baby Carrier. I was so excited to test this product with both my lightweight nearly 3 year old and my newly one year old little for trips out and about or for clingy moments while around the house! This product most definitely did not disappoint! This baby carrier has many wonderful features. One of the features that I enjoy as a parent is the easy to adjust, color coded, velcro adjustment waistband to comfortably carry your child as they grow. The color coded aspect makes it easy to determine which fit is most suitable for your child to carry safely which made it easy to transition between multiple children while I was testing. This feature also took away one worry as a parent that I may be ... MoreAs part of the Stellar Parent Panel, I was provided the Omni Breeze Baby Carrier. I was so excited to test this product with both my lightweight nearly 3 year old and my newly one year old little for trips out and about or for clingy moments while around the house! This product most definitely did not disappoint! This baby carrier has many wonderful features. One of the features that I enjoy as a parent is the easy to adjust, color coded, velcro adjustment waistband to comfortably carry your child as they grow. The color coded aspect makes it easy to determine which fit is most suitable for your child to carry safely which made it easy to transition between multiple children while I was testing. This feature also took away one worry as a parent that I may be carrying uncomfortably or unsafely for my children. Another feature that I loved on the baby carrier was the storage pouch on the front waistband for storing things that I needed while carrying my littles. This pouch was perfect for placing my cell phone and either a small snack or pacifier for my children. I also like that this pouch was removable if I didn't need the feature. Another feature that I liked on this carrier was the breathable fabric which made activities with more motion (like hiking, yard work around the house, or cleaning) more comfortable for both my children and I. In other carriers that I have used, this is certainly not the case which makes me prefer this carrier over others I have tried. Another feature that I really like is the storage compartment for a small shade. I used this shade on a few occasions when my little was forward facing and in the sun or when our family had unexpected rainfall while hiking! Along with this feature used for forward facing resting children is the easy to transition neck support feature that I could easily put up or fold away when not in use. This helped to keep my little's head from flopping around while I moved about. Yet another feature that I liked about this carrier is the back support strap that rested comfortably against the bottom of my back. This feature helped me to carry my children for extended amount of time comfortably without having a sore back afterwards. An additional comfort feature that I liked as the parent was the well-padded shoulder straps. This kept the straps from digging into my shoulder or moving about causing chaffing on my back and shoulders. The straps were also easy to clasp shut and adjust on my own while preparing to carry or removing the carrier at the end of use. Overall, I was overly impressed by the careful attention to detail and design and the many features that this carrier had. I am so glad to continue to use this product as my children continue to grow!
