Ergobaby Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh in Pearl Grey

  • The Ergo baby Omni 360 is the Ultimate Baby Carrier from Newborn to Toddler!

With over 15 years of experience, we know what makes a comfortable, adaptable, and good value baby carrier…and the Ergobaby Omni 360 has it all!

Ergobaby has managed to combine ALL the best features of their Adapt and the Original 360 to create a hip-healthy, ergonomically-designed baby carrier with 4 wearing positions, adjustable cross-over shoulder straps and best of all…there’s no infant insert required!

This carrier features a variable bucket seat that supports your baby in the recommended hip-healthy ‘M-shape’ in all carry positions and provides excellent head and neck support for babies at all ages. There is also a foldable & extendable head & neck cushion, tuck-away baby hood for sun protection & privacy, and bonus detachable storage pouch.

The Ergo baby Omni 360 really is ONE OF THE BEST BABY CARRIERS AVAILABLE TODAY.

It’s comfortable, flexible, adjustable, and will grow with you from birth to toddler. All Ergobaby products are modern, thoughtfully designed, and built to last, and the OMNI 360 Baby Carrier is no different.

Ergobaby Omni 360

ergobaby omni 360

Why We Love the Ergobaby Omni 360: 

The Ergobaby Omni is super versatile – it does all the positions and can be used from birth without an infant insert. It achieves a truly ergonomic forward-facing carry for baby.  The straps can cross on the back, which we find the most comfortable, and it has Ergobaby lumbar support waistband.  The Omni even has an included detachable pouch for extra storage (plus a small slot pocket on the waistband).  “Cool” options (with mesh panels for extra airflow) of this carrier are available if it’s very hot where you live.  Generously sized waistband goes to 58″

Keep in MindIn order to achieve the flexibility of positioning for the baby, the body of the carrier is slightly thicker compared to some other carriers on the market. This is the premium Ergobaby model.

Ergobaby Adapt: Soft & Adjustable to Grow with Your Baby

Why We Love the Ergobaby Adapt: 

This carrier is soft and flexible.  It can be used from birth without an insert and has several adjustments to grow with your baby into toddlerhood. It can cross straps on your back and is often a good fit for petite wearers (who may not enjoy other models as much).  “Cool” options (with mesh panels for extra airflow) of this carrier are available if it’s very hot where you live. It is less expensive than some other Ergobaby models.

The Original is less versatile and doesn’t offer as many positions or adjustments, but it is also more affordable.  The Original requires an infant insert for small ones, which the Omni does not.
