A bit hard to put on, also not sire if my 2month old baby is sitting down correctly. Also I can’t tell if he’s comfortable or not. However, great quality and the colour and deaign looks great too.

This is the 4th carrier I bought. Soft and structured and baby loves it. Put her in it and go for a walk when she is out of sorts and it settles her every time.

Beautiful and comfy, but with some ergonomic weaknesses

I'm left-handed, so I personally find the waist buckle a challenge to clip on. I'm also petite—5'2" (157 cm) so the carrier feels like a trip hazard whenever I put my baby on or take him out—the shoulder straps and buckles practically graze the floor.

Nonetheless, I have no regrets. It's a beautiful carrier that goes really well with my outfits. It's also comfy enough for my baby, who falls asleep in it during walks.

Haven’t tried it yet as baby hasn’t arrived but, material feels and looks high quality. Looks as described!

Great carrier

This carrier is fantastic for newborns. My son was born in the 5th percentile, and despite being small, we’ve used this with him without issue once he hit the 3.2kg minimum weight limit. Very happy with this purchase.

M

Great for newborns, my bubba might have been a bit too big for it and she was learning to hold her head up and this carrier was hiding her face. Great material though. And very easy to buckle up.

Great product that saved my sanity!

This is a really comfortable carrier that is easy to use. My baby loves being in it and as a contact-napping kid, it lets me have my hands free and get things done.
Only issue I find is that it is hard to get the straps wide over my shoulders the way they do in the instructions.

We love this carrier, we have tried a few and this one was the goldilocks. Baby just loves it, super cosy and perfect in the often hotter weather we experience here in the desert.

comfortable and lightweight

This carrier is beautifully lightweight and easy to use. Preferred it over some of our other more structured carriers as it wasn't bulky and felt comfortable for both mum and bub.

Pros and Cons

Pro is that it’s soft and easy to use, con is that our baby was quite young when we used it in the larger baby mode (he was a longer baby), but we couldn’t use it in the end because it didn’t support his head in this mode.

If you have a slightly above average baby in length you won’t be able to use this until bub is able to support themselves.

Gorgeous soft material

The ergo embrace is made of gorgeous soft material and very well made. I found I didn’t use it as much as I would’ve like as you have to have it so incredibly tight to keep your baby up. It is also quite tight on the baby and I was uncomfortable using it regularly. I did like that you can adjust for a newborn or slightly older baby.

Toddler-proof

Amazing product - feels secure, easy to safely position baby and tighten, doesn’t overheat and fabric is soft and durable. I have a toddler and a newborn, and this is perfect for keeping sticky fingers and loving kisses out of babies face!

Gentle to wear after c-section

We use the Omni 360 with our 16 month old son, but I wanted something softer and less structured to wear post c-section with my second baby. The Embrace is perfect - soft, comfortable for both of us, quick and easy to put on, and easy to wash. I started wearing our newborn 6 days post c-section and it didn’t hurt or put to much pressure on me. With two under two, being able to snuggle our newborn and still have free hands is invaluable. I’m planning to buy the toy carrier for our toddler so he can wear his teddy and copy mum.

FAQs

How is the Embrace different from a structured carrier or a baby wrap?
The Embrace sits deliberately between the two. It merges the cosiness of a soft wrap with the simplicity of a carrier as soft and close as a wrap, but secured with just three buckles rather than requiring any wrapping or tying. The Embrace is made from a slightly stretchy, supportive, lightweight knit fabric, whereas other Ergobaby structured carriers like the Omni Deluxe and Omni Classic are made from mesh — the knit gives the Embrace a warmer, more snug feeling that many parents find especially comforting for newborns in the early weeks. It is also considerably lighter and slimmer than a structured carrier, weighing just 480grams, which makes it easy to stash in a nappy bag and pull on quickly. The trade-off is that it is designed for the newborn and infant phase only, rather than carrying through to toddlerhood
From what age and weight can I use it, and when does my baby outgrow it?
The Embrace is suitable from birth a minimum weight of 3.2kg and minimum height of 50.8cm through to approximately 11.3kg, which is typically around 12–18 months. The carrier adapts to your newborn's smaller size through a specific setup: in Newborn Mode, the waistbelt is folded inwards twice, shortening the back panel and narrowing the seat width to fit a smaller baby snugly. As your baby grows, you move to Baby Mode — Facing In from around two months, and Baby Mode — Facing Out once your baby has strong head and neck control and is taller than 66cm, typically around 5–6 months. It is designed as a dedicated newborn and infant carrier, so families who want to continue babywearing into toddlerhood will typically pair it with an Omni Classic or Omni Deluxe for longer-term use
Is it genuinely easy to put on and can one parent manage it solo?
Yes simplicity is the Embrace's defining feature. It doesn't require any complicated wrapping or tying, and snaps on in three clicks, making it one of the fastest carriers to get on and off independently. This matters enormously in the early newborn weeks when you're often trying to settle a crying baby quickly, or when you need to transfer a sleeping baby out of the carrier without waking them. The waistbelt should be secured high and tight on the torso, with the product labels always on the inside and the buckle facing out — a small but useful detail that helps first-time users orient the carrier correctly. Ergobaby also provides detailed instructional videos for each carry mode, which parents consistently rate as helpful when getting comfortable with newborn positioning
Is it safe for my baby's hips and spine?
The Embrace has been recognised by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute for hip-healthy positioning, placing baby in the natural spread-squat or M-position where the knees are at or above hip level and the spine is gently rounded the same ergonomic principle used across all Ergobaby carriers. The carrier features padded neck support to support your baby's head and neck, and the knit fabric holds baby close against the parent's body, which encourages the correct slightly rounded spine posture that mirrors how a newborn naturally lies. One important safety note: you should never carry your baby facing out until specific developmental milestones are met — strong head and neck control and sufficient height and you should always ensure baby's face and chin clear the top of the panel and their airway is unobstructed during every carry
What fabric options are available, and is it machine washable?
The Embrace is available in the original SoftKnit, which is a thick, double-knit jersey-like fabric that feels warm and womb-like against a newborn's skin. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, confirming it is free from harmful substances, and is machine washable. To wash, use mild detergent free of bleach, perfumes, dyes, chlorine, or optical brighteners, and machine wash cold at 30°C. Air dry rather than tumble dry, and wash the carrier alone or inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the knit fabric from snagging against zippers or Velcro from other garments. Using a drool bib or teething pads on the shoulder straps during daily use also reduces how often the whole carrier needs washing
