Introduce your little one to the world in an Ergobaby newborn carrier. Start with the super soft supportive Embrace Carrier for the initial months, or skip straight to the versatile Omni 360 that will see bub through to toddlerhood. No infant inserts are required.
Ergobaby Embrace is the ideal carrier for newborns
Keep your newborn baby close and supported with the Ergobaby Embrace Baby Carrier. Super soft, cozy and comfortable, the Embrace emphasises closeness and bonding over the first year. With no complicated wrapping or tying, this simple style is ideal for short, regular babywearing sessions during the first 12 months.
Choose Ergobaby carriers in soft air mesh for a breathable option
Stay cool, dry and comfortable every season with an Embrace carrier crafted from soft air mesh. The innovative fabric adds extra breathability via an aerated pin-dot knit with soft air mesh on the shoulders & back panel. A vented back panel maintains airflow, and the high-tech material wicks moisture to keep you dry.
