ErgobabyEmbrace Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler - Breathable Baby Carriers for Summer - Cozy Essentials (7-25 Pounds), Ponte Knit, Cream

This is the best baby carrier I have ever used- the fabric is great quality and soft. Plus it’s one of the view structured carriers that is safe for newborns. Baby has to be at least 7 lbs to use safely. We love it! I can breastfeed in it easily due to the stretchiness of the fabric. It is easy to put on by myself and I walked far in it and had no back pain. Highly recommend to anyone with a newborn! I’m 5ft 2 in and it works well for my dimensions. Also the style is pretty cute rather than some of those ugly bulky carriers.

I was looking for a baby carrier for my Velcro Baby, so I would be able to use 2 hands to do stuff around the house and for certain outings. With my first son I had the K-Tan, which was nice, but my neck and back would start to hurt pretty soon after putting it on. I needed something I could wear for longer periods this time. After doing a ton of research, I purchased the Ergo Embrace.Pros:*This carrier is very easy to use. I can put iton and get my son in it securly by myself.*It is highly adjustable.*It is comfortable towear for long periods of time.*It is lightweight and portable.*Decent price point.*Nice color*Machine WashableCons:*Not good for long term use because it only goes up to 25 pounds, but I've heard it gets harder to wear once baby hits 15 pounds.*When my baby is very small he could rest his head on the back of the carrier, but as he grew this wasn't an option anymore and he could only rest his head on me, so I've had to be more vigilant of where his head is and make sure I have my hand on it if I'm bending down.*While it is very portable it doesn't fold up nice or come with a carrying bag.Overall, I would highly recommend this carrier.

My grandson has been able to use this for almost a year! This holds him securely and can be put on easily by myself. It buckles nice and strong, and has lots of room to grow. It is very comfortable since it has the wide shoulder straps and distributes his weight nicely.

This is 90% a great infant carrier - with some drawbacks.The good:This is a comfortable carrier, both for my back and for the baby. Three guest time I used it the baby napped for two hours and I did not have any back pain afterwards. It is, as advertised, soft and folds up small. The baby (3 weeks old) was well-supported and felt secure.The bad:This carrier is hot and not great for hot or humid weather. Compared with other carriers (ktan, ring sling, lillebaby) it is difficult to breastfeed with the baby in the carrier - her face ends up kind of squished to the side. It is also hard to adjust the waist start for breastfeeding when the baby is in the carrier and the rolled up strapn ends are uncomfortable - it would be better if it was possible to tuck them in. It would definitely be nice if the carrier had a sun shade for the baby's head and even a small pocket for phone and keys. And last - while the fabric and straps seem good quality, there were a lot of loose threads on the seams, which I don't expect with a $100 carrier.

I have tried a few different carriers, this is by far my favorite. The hybrid of being a carrier and a wrap is a dream. The fit is snug and comfortable. I will say when I first put my 20 lb 6 month old forward facing, it did leave bruises on his legs. You have to get it just right! With my firstborn, I had the ergo360. He was 10lbs when he came out and when I say carrying him in the 360 killed my hips, I mean it. Anytime I would do a hike, within 35 minutes I was hurting. This carrier is a game changer and never hurts! Its extremely easy to get on and off by myself- even my fiance can do it on himself. I had my second son in February so I went with the regular material instead of the breathable. It isn't terrible in the summer, but I sometimes wish I had done the mesh. I have breastfed numerous times while hiking and having my baby laying on my chest without anyone noticing. Functionality is great. The value is WELL WORTH THE MONEY! I bought one of the girls I work with one for her baby shower present! 5 ✰✰✰✰✰

Soft fabric, easy to use! Would buy again. Using for 8lb newborn w plenty of room to grow!
