This carrier is great and I highly recommend it, but it can be awful if used incorrectly. There are so many adjustments you can make for both your comfort and your baby's comfort, and they make a huge difference when you are wearing it for a long time. Be sure you have the straps adjusted for the size of your baby and the position you will be carrying them in, and ESPECIALLY be sure the pad on the back of the waist strap is centered on your back. This thing can really hurt your back when worn incorrectly, so it's worth doing right from the beginning! When everything is put on correctly, I'm amazed by how long both I and our baby can go. Besides the comfort, I love being able to switch between front facing and back facing, and look forward to trying it on my back when our baby gets bigger! It seems very durable and is showing no signs of wear after many months, and I love the shade hood and little fanny pack for tucking things away. It's a great carrier, but read and follow the directions to get the best experience!

Awesome carrier! The bad reviews are way off on this carrier. It’s a shame they are what you see first on Amazon, and not all of the good reviews....The shoulder straps are “bulky” from the padding, but they are very, very flexible and comfortable. And I have no issue fitting under jackets - maybe if it is a tight fitting jacket, then sure, but a normal jacket fits easily over them. I didn’t get this carrier to begin with because we had two hand me downs - a Kelty and a cool mesh K’tan - and I thought we would use the K’tan the most so we also purchased a cotton one too. Now the Kelty- that is bulky! This is ridiculously comfortable, lightweight, and the exact opposite of bulky. For the two K’tans, they both feel far more bulky than this, probably because there is so much fabric wrapped around you tightly. After seven months of not using our carriers because they all overheated our baby - even the cool mesh K’tan - and never being able to get either of us comfortable in any of the carriers, I finally decided to try this carrier. And boy do I wish I had gotten it sooner! This feels like nothing, our baby is literally all smiles in it and it is amazingly comfortable for me to wear too. Our baby is very active, that may be a factor in the K’tans never being comfortable-there was a lot of squirming and the fabric would pull and end up lopsided with the baby being supported by a ball of fabric under one leg within ten minutes of being in the K’tan. The mesh isn’t uncomfortable, it is not soft like the K’tan mesh, but it isn’t scratchy or hard either - not sure what the complaints are about. It is also very well made, the fabric is very high quality, almost a denim-like texture but it is a lighter weight, high quality cotton twill and I can’t see how it could split - not sure what those complaints are about either. I think they may have made some adjustments though since others have reviewed it. The belt adjustment for baby leg spacing is now Velcro - and very secure Velcro, the belt is clipped together to keep it in place around your hips- there is no “slide” as other reviewers have mentioned, so maybe the fabric and mesh have been changed too?

Bottom line - this carrier is awesome, it’s lightweight, minimal in bulk, fits our baby perfectly, and doesn’t overheat our baby. Awesome carrier.

*update! I found what the other reviews mention as “slides” - they are on the body of the carrier/front - and they are quite poorly designed, they definitely slide, a lot.....but they are not needed to keep baby comfortable, the Velcro at the belt that is adjustable is really to only thing needed. Not really sure what they were thinking with the outer slides...I think this is where the plastic rods another reviewer mentioned are too, but again I don’t have, or see, an issue with them - the are on the outside of the carrier, and in no way that I can see could affect the comfort. Just a little annoying. Although I can see a use for the slides - they open up the leg spacing without having to take the carrier off and readjust the Velcro. It’s annoying that they don’t stay put, but convenient if you want to temporarily get more air flow...my 2 cents

My baby absolutely loves this carrier. Also comfortable for me. We've tried about 5-6 others before this one and this seemed to be our best fit, try and see what works for you. Love this company in general too.

This is my fave! It is so comfy. Baby feels secured and even naps comfortably

It does get hot if you’re out and about I won’t lie. And putting on by yourself is and isn’t comfortable. Picture reaching for the top part of your back over head. Kind of tricky without help

It offers a little shade for baby’s head and that helps

It’s very comfortable on the adult back, it supports very well for overall comfort

Great quality and durable. Good value. Appearance is ok. The back had a lot of straps and buckles. Hard to put on without help. Comfortable and feels safe.

The Only Baby Carrier That Doesn't Leave My Back Wrecked

As a stay-at-home dad, I've tested more baby carriers than I care to admit. The Ergobaby Omni Classic is the one that earned a permanent spot in our rotation — and my back is why.

I can wear this thing for 2-3 hours straight without reaching for the ibuprofen. The lumbar support and padded shoulder straps actually do what they promise, which — as any dad who's suffered through a cheap carrier knows — is not guaranteed. It's also certified hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, which matters when your pediatrician brings it up at every visit.

The versatility is real. Four carry positions — inward, outward, hip, and back — that grow with your kid from newborn all the way to 45 lbs. We're at 10 months and it still fits perfectly with easy one-handed adjustments. The pull-out sunshade and front pockets for pacifiers and a wallet are small touches that make a big difference on a long day out. Is it bulky? Yes. Is it expensive? Also yes. But here's my honest take — if your back starts hurting after 20 minutes in a carrier, the carrier isn't working for you. This one works. The back clip looks intimidating the first time. It's not. Give it two tries and it becomes second nature.

Bottom line: If comfort is your dealbreaker, this is your carrier. Dad-tested, back approved.

I purchased one of these for our grandson to be carried in. He was born with club feet and now has to wear boots on a bar for 23 hours a day. This carrier is easy for my daughter to get on him without messing with the boots and bar and she can put it on by herself. She said it works well. Very happy it made her life a little easier.

Great for our first baby. I do think it’s a “heavy duty” baby carrier and we have a second lightweight one for travel that compacts down more easily. This is the preferred one tho since it is more comfortable for longer periods. It cost about what the other baby carriers cost so no issue there for me. I appreciated the mesh to prevent overheating which is why I purchased this specifically. It would’ve been nice if it came in other colors or fun prints but black is fine also. Would buy again for daily use.

I read a lot of reviews before deciding on the Ergobaby OMNI 360 Mesh Carrier. From everything I read this seemed to be one of the best carriers & it definitely is. After watching a few instructional videos on how to use it, & getting it adjusted for me & my baby & practicing putting her in & out, I find it very easy to use. It is super easy to put baby in & out on my own, has great back support, all the weight distributed on your lower back, barely feel it on your shoulders. By baby seems comfortable in it, have only used it with her facing me on my front, but I love that there is the option in the future to turn her to face outward or carry her on my back. I started using it when my daughter was 6 weeks & she was fine. I am very glad I chose the mesh option as this summer has been very hot & humid so far, although I do not wear it when its 25 degrees C or warmer as it just gets too hot for me & baby. Also like how there is a sun shade in the front pocket that easily comes out to shade baby's head & how there is a pocket you can take on & off which is big enough for keys, cell phone, etc. Overall very happy with this carrier

I absolutely love this baby carrier! The moment my baby is inside, he falls asleep so quickly—it’s that comfortable for him. It’s also very comfortable and easy to wear once you get the hang of it, which makes outings so much easier.

One feature I really appreciate is the built-in pull-in shade. With other carriers, you often have to buy a separate hat or cover to protect your baby’s head from the sun and wind, but this carrier already has it included. It gives me peace of mind knowing my baby is both safe and cozy.

Highly recommend this carrier for comfort, convenience, and thoughtful design!

Aramex kargoya tatil öncesi soparisimi yetiştirdiği için çok teşekkürler 👍 babyjorn 3d mesh ve ergobaby arasında kalmıştım fiyat farkından dolayı bunu seçtim ve ikisini de kullanmış biri olarak tam bir f/p ürünü diyebilirim. Başta takmaya alınmadan zorlandım hatta iade etmeyi düşündüm ama bikac denemeden sonra alisiyorsunuz öndeki canta ve güneş koruma ayrıntısı da mükemmel. Babyjorn ile kıyaslarsam bunda bebegi yan taraftan kanguruya sokamiyorsumuz arkayı açmanız lazım ama babyjornde önden direkt bebeği yerleştirip devam edebilirsiniz.rahatlik olarak aralarında bnce fark yok. Takip çıkarmaya alıştıktan sonra da az once dediğim ayrıntı sizi rahatsiz etmeyecektir. Ürünü genel olarak begendim ve tavsiye ediyorum

Both baby and I love this carrier. It doesn’t hurt my back unlike other carriers I’ve tried. Offers baby a lot of support in all the right places - he falls asleep almost as soon as I put him in the carrier to go for a walk.

Produto maravilhoso! Confortável para o bebê e pra quem carrega, ótima qualidade.
