Ergobaby Omni Dream Baby Carrier - Pink Quartz

The best "heavy duty" carrier for your babe! This one grows with your baby so you can get so much use out of it. It comes with great instructions on how to position your baby based on their weight. It's breathable, so you and your little one don't get too hot. My husband and I both used it and found it great for long walks. It keeps the pressure off of all the right places if you position it correctly. I wouldn't use it for any everyday, around the house baby carrier because it's a little bulky. But if you're a parent on the go, needing to run errands or grocery ship or just looking to get out for an adventure with the older kids or a leisurely walk, this carrier will be your friend! #newparent #babynecessities

I am an absolute phobe when it comes to baby carriers, always worried I’ve not put it on properly and baby will fly off. I avoided them like the plague with my first 2 daughters but this time around with school runs etc to navigate I bit the bullet and decided to try ergobaby on the recommendation of a friend. The carrier itself is pretty simple to use. It took 2-3 goes to figure out what I was doing but soon got the hang of it and now it’s used regularly. Baby feels secure, doesn’t slip down and the carrier itself is lightweight and breathable. It’s easy to wash and transferable between myself and my husband. I’d definitely recommend this brand and in particular the Omni 360 cool mesh. Perfect for all seasons!

I had used the original Ergo Baby with my first son but soon found out he loved facing outwards when he got to about 6-7 months. But I loved how this was the only carrier that didn’t give me horrible back and shoulder pain so we stuck with that one. Fast forward three years and when I got pregnant again I immediately bought the Ergo 360. BEST PURCHASE EVER! It was so comfortable, for both me and baby, loved all the options for positions (bit I never got good at doing the side carry and back carry. But we used this carrier almost daily until he was walking and didn’t want to be constrained anymore (but he still loved napping here). I used it again with my 3rd child and looking back, I can say I used it more after each child, because I bas able to run after the other ... MoreI had used the original Ergo Baby with my first son but soon found out he loved facing outwards when he got to about 6-7 months.

It held great through many many washes and is now being used by a third baby (our friend’s) and still looks brand new. It is a great investment. Especially with multiple children. And it lasts so long that I can definitely say it has resale value. It’s definitely one of the pricier options out there but so worth it. I got my money’s worth with how much I used it and how much my friend uses it. Do yourself a favor and get one of these. You won’t regret it

A Babywearer’s Dream

All these paid reviews are annoying. I bought this sling with my own money, and it cost a pretty penny. I got a good deal when these went on sale and you can’t use coupons for this. Being of West African descent, I’ve practiced baby wearing for the last 12 years. Everything from baby strapped to the back with 3 yards of cloth, to ring sling, ties, you name it. The cool mesh 360 beats out anything I’ve ever used by FAR! The convenience of putting a baby on the back, side and front; walking while nursing hands free and just getting things done around the house. It’s grab and go and we take it EVERYWHERE. My baby is out in 15 minutes in the carrier. It fits well and is ultra adjustable. The only suggestion I would have would be to allow the over-the-shoulder area to be ... MoreAll these paid reviews are annoying. I bought this sling with my own money, and it cost a pretty penny.

My baby is out in 15 minutes in the carrier. It fits well and is ultra adjustable. The only suggestion I would have would be to allow the over-the-shoulder area to be adjustable. I wish it had a snugger fit. That area doesn’t adjust by much, so if you have a shorter torso like me, it may be a little annoying but not deal breaker. I researched the heck out of this carrier. I wanted the top of the line. It can be bulky to carry around but it’s quick and easy to wear. I just throw it under the baby’s stroller or ditch the stroller altogether. Because of the material, it dries very fast. My kid spilled a whole bottle of water on it and hung it upside down. By morning, it was completely dry. Both men and women can wear this comfortably. Baby is always secure even though their face sometimes bumps up against the fabric I haven’t had any issues with it being scratchy or causing irritation. I recommend that every new mom, or mom of very young children put this on registry as a must have or wait out a good sale. It’s worth it!

A very comfy carrier!

I love my baby carrier and using it for mostly at the grocery store since it gives me the ability to be hands free! It’s also great to get this because it’s super comfy! My only challenge is getting this on and off by myself can sometimes be a challenge although I’ve gotten the hang of it. It took me a while to get it just right for me and my baby. Also keep in mind, as your child gets heavier and you recover post party’s you will likely need get to keep adjusting the straps to adjust which I typically need help doing. I will say it’s super comfy! I wore a carrier from a family friend and I think you definitely get what you pay for because this one is super comfy in multiple positions. Also, it has a little pocket and now that its summer I get to use the hood to ... MoreI love my baby carrier and using it for mostly at the grocery store since it gives me the ability to be hands free!

Amazing

I had one carrier and two wraps and all their weight limit was 20-25 pounds. My baby was 20 pounds by 4 months so I needed a new carrier with a higher weight limit and decided to go with this one! I am obsessed. It has the mesh for the Florida heat and our baby loves it! It’s super comfortable and has the right positioning for healthy hip development. The only thing is that it’s a little hard to get them in with just one person.

Great balanced harness with a few considerations

It works well for keeping the kiddo tight and snug to your body. It's also pretty comfortable and sturdy for the person wearing it. We actually used it on a very long flight to keep our 15-month old from terrorizing the other passengers, and it worked well to keep her mellow and content (most of the time). I docked it one star solely for the fact that we sometimes had trouble keeping our daughter's chin high enough when facing forward. It sometimes looked like it was pressuring her neck, although she never acted like she was choking, so we just kept our eye on it as she settled lower in the harness. Also, this mesh version really only keeps the child a bit cooler, but not so much for the person wearing the harness. Let me tell you, having your child this close to ... MoreIt works well for keeping the kiddo tight and snug to your body. It's also pretty comfortable and sturdy for the person wearing it.

Let me tell you, having your child this close to your body is like being attached to a baby nuclear reactor. If it is hot or humid outside, you better bring a few extra shirts along because once you remove the harness, you and your little one will look like you just left the Shamu splash zone at Sea World. Other than that, the harness functions well and distributes the weight much better that the larger child backpacks.

Lots of support

Upgraded to this after my baby outgrew my first Baby Bjorn. I kind of wish I had had this to begin with, because it feels great to have one carrier for newborns to up to 45lbs. However, I think I needed to experience the tradeoffs with the Baby Bjorn. BB is simpler --SO easy-- to use, which meant we used it a ton. However, it definitely had much less support. But you don't realize that until you have a heavier baby and switch/upgrade.The Ergobaby is amazing for our baby who is now 22ish lbs. I love all of the different holds. I feel like she's more secure and snug in her seating as well as on me. The hip belt is a must for long holds. All of this security comes at the cost of a more complicated carrier, though--so beware. I would have been overwhelmed using this ... MoreUpgraded to this after my baby outgrew my first Baby Bjorn.

I would have been overwhelmed using this as a new parent, I think. The sleep cover has been so helpful. And honestly I'm excited to keep using this for a few years.Anyway, it's awesome, highly recommend if you want ONE carrier for a few years. Bonus if it's just one person or multiple similarly-sized people using the carrier, so that you don't have to do so many adjustments each time you switch between them, as is the unfortunate case between my spouse and me.

Must-have!

I love this thing. I have a needy baby that doesn’t like to be left unattended. I had a stupid Moby wrap that was very impractical so I opted for this and boy oh boy, am I glad I did! It’s so, so comfortable. Baby is 4 months old and 14.5 lbs and I have her facing outward. She loves it. I get so much more done around the house now. I also feel like she’s taking in much more of her environment.Also, it DOES NOT NEED two people to attach it. I read that in some of the comments and was a bit skeptical about purchasing it because I’m alone with her all day but I’m so glad I took my chances, those people are obviously uncoordinated or just plain simple. I’m 5’3” so I don’t have the longest limbs and I manage to put it on just fine on my own. Totally recommend this item!

So far so good

I like it so far, but have not used it much yet. Even though my daughter fell within the age/weight classes to be able to use this product without the newborn booster, she is still a little small for it. I also did not realize there is an upper back buckle that make it necessary for someone to help you fully put the carrier on. When I use this around the house, there is not always someone to help buckle it in the back. But I will continue to use especially as she gets bigger.
