Ergobaby Embrace I found the Ergo really quite good. Straight off the bat, it is really nice and soft for both the little ones to get their snuggle on and for Dad to wear. Being made of stretchy wrap material, you get that comfortable ride and support for the sprog, as well as the added (mental) safety net of buckles, which is something someone who isn’t all that up to play with wrap tying just can’t go past. The straps do need to cross over at the back, but that didn’t present any more effort in getting the carrier on.
All in all, I think this is a great carrier, but maybe hire it for the real small ones, before moving into something a little more long-term.
TLDR; Soft and comfortable for both kid and Dad, easy to put on (despite strap crossing at the back) and has buckles, forward facing works well. Better suited for real youngins (0-6 months) Great for little ones, but can be outgrown early
There’s a bit of adjustment to be had to cinch the little ones into a comfy possie for the walk up the road, as well as the ability to splay the shoulder straps out, spreading the load and reduce digging in. The Ergo also allowed for The Boy to be seated forward facing with ease, which he loves to do, in all the same easy manner as facing inward. My only let down with the Ergo was that it seemed to be quite restrictive in the size of offspring it could handle. The Boy, being only 4/5 months old is already getting to be on the slightly too big side for the carrier. Although you can adjust down for newborns, there isn’t anything in the way of increasing knee to knee or 22 PALMY PARENT . PALMERSTON NORTH PARENTS CENTRE MAGAZINE
