Ergobaby™ Embrace Soft Air Mesh Newborn Carrier in Black

Tula who? I am so glad I purchased this. Currently waiting for my baby girl's arrival so I have not used it yet, however, I am looking forward to being able to multitask and carry her around in this. A better option than the Tula which is outrageously expensive at this point. The material for the Ergobaby embrace is lightweight and breathable. It fits comfortably and is soft for baby's skin. If your on the fence, go ahead and purchase!!!

I was so excited to use this carrier but unfortunately the last couple times we used it, it like cut into his skin and he isn’t big either he’s 14lbs and his legs were red.

Honestly I was so excited but I’m disappointed my son isn’t small nor big he’s in the normal size but when I try to face him so he can see outside he’s getting red lines in his legs and he finds it very uncomfortable.

This carrier is so incredible for newborns! Comfortable and holds them snug

I absolutely love this carrier. I was skeptical at first because I exclusively used soft, fabric wrap carriers with my guest child and hated the more structured carriers, but this is a perfect blend of the best parts of soft fabric carriers and also the more structured carriers. It’s super easy to put on and take off and my newborn loves being in it, she stops crying and falls asleep everytime. It’s a lot easier to put the baby in than a soft fabric carrier and takes just two seconds. Also, this carrier keeps the baby cool with the mesh now that it’s getting hot out and doesn’t allow the baby to overheat. This carrier also folds up small so I can throw it in the diaper bag when we go somewhere. I like that the baby feels secure and the straps are super easy to tighten and loosen. I love it! I received this as part of the stellar product testing panel.

I really enjoy this carrier. It’s pretty light and breathable so I don’t get hot. It’s super easy to put on and off but I feel like it’s a little weird at first. It seems pretty supportive and the waist belt helps pull some of the weight off my shoulders (although I still have a newborn so I’m not sure with older babies.) I can wear my baby for hours with little to no pain and my shoulders don’t get tired! Personally I felt that the spreadable straps didn’t make a huge difference and feel slightly uncomfortable when they are spread out. I prefer them just over my shoulders. I think my favorite thing about this carrier is that it is almost a hybrid between a wrap carrier (I have always preferred them but they are harder to wrap) and a traditional carrier. Because it’s so easy to use and adjust it has since replaced my wrap carrier! I am very happy that the Stellar Product Testing Panel provided me with this carrier! I love it!

My son is not yet even a week old, but he already loves this carrier! I have 5 kiddos, with my youngest being born at a whopping 10lbs 9oz. This makes it difficult to use some newborn carriers because he is so heavy already, they just pull down on my shoulders. That is not the case with this Embrace Soft Air Mesh Newborn Carrier. It provides amazing support, is super comfortable (for both me and him!), and is easy to use. Upon opening the box, I was surprised by how compact the carrier was. It can roll up and fold down to a rather small size which makes it easy to place in my diaper bag. This is rather impressive considering it has quite a bit of padding to ensure comfort for both parent and kiddo. It was also incredibly soft to the touch- this made me feel more confident that it would be okay touching my son's sensitive newborn skin. Ergobaby definitely makes it easy to know how to put the carrier on! Not only does it come with an instruction booklet that has multiple easy to follow photo instructions, but there are tags on the carrier itself that show how to put it on, and you can easily find videos from Ergobaby's YT channel that show someone putting it on in action. I have only used one way of wearing it so far, since my son is only a few days old (newborn carry), but I already feel confident in the other methods of wearing it because the videos and photos are so easy to follow. Once I got it on, I was shocked by how comfortable it was. Not only did it only take about 3 minutes to put it on for the first time (impressive since I had to adjust all the straps that first time too!), but the spreadable shoulder straps were really amazing for dispersing my son's weight to the point that I feel like I'm not even carrying him or holding him in it at all. He went into it and immediately went to sleep. In fact, he's sleeping on my chest, in the carrier, as I write this review. It perfectly allows him to have healthy posture and relaxes his head on my chest so he can hear my heartbeat and get a little bit of skin to skin time. I have used pretty much any carrier and wrap you can think of over the past 11 years, and this one is absolutely perfect for the newborn stage. It has all the benefits of a wrap, but the structure, comfort, and security of a carrier. I absolutely recommend this to everyone! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to have this amazing carrier in exchange for my honest review. I can honestly say it has made my life quite a bit easier to have my hands free, and my back comfortable, these first few days.
