Ergobaby Aura Baby Wrap Carrier & Sling for Newborn to Toddlers up to 11kg (0-3 yrs), 100% Viscose, Comfort & Stretch with Built-in Storage Pocket, Indigo

Product Information

We’ve used it in the rain and sun – no problems there thanks to a SPF hood (he looks so cute peeping out beneath it) – and I’ve also managed to breastfeed whilst wearing it, although I admit that I haven’t, unlike some mothers, worked out how to do this whilst walking along. The joy of the Ergobaby baby carrier is that the sling is structured and put together by clips which are fairly self explanatory and you can pop the sling on without the need to ask anybody else to intervene.

This has been managed by using a thinner material and the added benefit of this is that it is much cooler in the summer months. The Omni 360 also has the strap buckles in the front, making it possible to wear it with crossable shoulder straps and is easy to put on and take off.The Ergo will have had to pass a lot of vigorous US testing before being released, and this is the “tester” model, so this may be an isolated issue. Certified by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as being 'hip-healthy', you can trust on the Ergobaby carriers to provide proper support for your baby's developing spine and hips. The award-winning Ergobaby range provides maximum comfort, hands free parenting, and stylish functionality.

The Ergobaby Omni is suitable as a newborn carrier, and can be used right through to early toddlerhood. Wearing a baby carrier or sling strengthens the relationship between you and your child - right from the start. With a passion for innovation and a commitment to comfort, they design high-quality baby carriers, strollers, and other baby gear that support the bond between parents and their little ones. The sling can’t be totally back ache-free when ferrying a little mite around for a good 5-6 hours a day on top of everything else, but it’s the best of the baby carrier bunch in terms of looking after the old vertebrae and I’m grateful I found it.I love how easy it is to put on and have had more than one slightly envious remark from a fellow newborn mama friend about how much comfier the Ergobaby looked compared to her elastic wrap sling. Through snow, wind, rain and sun, I’ve been able to sling my precious cargo up, transport him around and get on with my day.

It’s not long before your tiny newborn goes from barely opening their eyes to being totally into everything. Yes, the Ergo Embrace baby carrier was designed for the newborn phase and is suitable from birth (minimum weight 7 lbs. The wider seat setting does seem to increase the width of the base compared to the original model by as much as about 5cm. The buckles are a little stiffer and slightly more structured and thinner than the standard Ergo model, and are there mainly to allow hip carries if required.A busy mum of three, I tested the Aura on walks, taking my older children to nursery and school, and rocking out to such classics as ‘B-I-N-G-O’. She set out to create something comfortable and easy for parents to use and with that the original Ergobaby carrier was born. I think it is cleverly designed to meet a particular market of parents; those who wish to provide the forwards facing out position but are choosing to do so in a way that maximises their child’s comfort and is respectful of their growing body and natural spread squat positions. With the Ergobaby Embrace, I’d just pop my baby in when he was due a nap and he’d be asleep in minutes – for a good couple of hours or so.
