Omni Classic Carrier

I had an ergo years ago when my kids were babies/toddlers, and it was my favorite out of the 4 carriers I had. They have only gotten more awesome. Pros: - Waist strap takes a lot of weight off the shoulders. This has to be one of the best things about this carrier. Others put ask the weight on the shoulders, which is more uncomfortable. - Many ways to carry. This is my second favorite feature. Some kids like to face forward, some want to face towards you, and when they’re older it’s often more convenient to carry them on your back. - The same carrier will work from infants all the way up to toddlers. And I used it from newborn up until 3 yrs old! - Washable. Very important, since little ones tend to chew on the straps, and slobber everywhere. - I love how easy they have made it to switch from facing you to facing forward. Just slide a couple pieces over and you’re set. - Durable. Mine lasted for years, through 3 children and many washes. - Several colors to choose from. I chose charcoal, because it will show the least dirt. Light colors and black all show dirt and stains more easily. Remember, kids will chew and slobber on anything they can get in their mouth. My beige one from years ago had several stains by the time my 3 kids were finished with it. - You can breastfeed your baby in it, though it’s a little tricky. If you can manage it, others probably won’t even know your baby is eating, and you can breastfeed modestly in public. Cons: - A little pricey, but totally worth it. - It can be warm. This has improved somewhat, with the breathable covering of a lot of parts. But in exchange for being able to carry a little human against you, and making sure they are secure, it’s going to be warm. I got this ergo for a cousin who is having her first baby. It’s a must have for moms who want to have their babies close, or for those who like hiking and other activities and want to take their babies or toddlers along.

There are a lot of things I love about this baby carrier. One of them is not the extensive instructions on how to use, but it is essential that you read them! There are a lot of parts to this carrier. It can be overwhelming. But if you take the time to read carefully, this carrier will serve you well. There are so many adjustable parts which is nice because my husband is one foot taller than me and sixty pounds heavier, but both of us can easily wear this carrier since it’s so adjustable and versatile. It feels sturdy and durable, fits snugly and ergonomically, and my baby seems comfortable in it. And how nice that we can use it for more than just a few months! It came just as pictured - the mesh material is really nice and cooling - and it’s easy to fold up and store in a small space. Looking forward to using this for a long time on trips and whatnot.

I love it. It is absolutely perfect—great quality and very comfortable for the baby; I love the back support it offers. I looked at so many options because my baby wears a Pavlik harness, and this one undoubtedly works really well for us.

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

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.

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!

Worth the money!! Purchased the mesh version as it’s summer and very hot right now. very comfortable and easy to put on solo. Very excited to see how it stands up over time but so far so good.

We love our carrier! Looks cute, it’s comfortable and distributes the baby’s weight nicely (now that he’s big). We’ve been using it since he’s about 4 months old and now he’s already 10 months and it’s still great! I feel very safe when wearing it and when getting him into it.

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

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.

Un producto que cumple con las expectativas que teníamos sobre el… nos funciona bastante bien

Amazing product, as a first time mom I wanted a carrier that is light and easy to use. Ergobaby wins with its light but sturdy fabric, I use it whenever am going for walks with my 2 months old or when she naps as am doing the house chores.
