Looking to keep her new son close to her body, she tried several different carriers, some of which worked fairly well, but nothing that satisfied her needs for comfort and ergonomics. I even managed to breastfeed at Notting Hill Carnival with no one batting an eyelid, as its that discreet. This means even the most cunning of toddlers don’t stand the slightest chance of able to undo the buckles themselves. So understandably making sure that Emerson was comfortable for his first International Festival was our top priority.

And our detachable storage pouch makes it easy to take a walk, hands-free with just you, your baby and your Omni 360. The Omni 360 also has the strap buckles in the front, making it possible to wear it with crossable shoulder straps, which the Original does not. cm (~0-3 months), use the yellow lines for a baby between 24-28 inches / 61-71 cm (~3-9 months), and the blue lines for a baby over 28 inches / 71 cm (~9 months +).

It’s only because we have used both that we would choose that, if it wasn’t for the hot weather we wouldn’t have looked for another carrier, but then using it did have other perks. Many parents enjoy having their baby facing outwards, but remember this outwards position isn’t essential: Babies are well able to look around in a parent-facing carrier, especially if one or both of their arms are above the top of the carrier allowing them greater freedom of movement and wider field of vision.

The Ergobaby 360 has always done the job and we had no complaints, but as we were due to go to California we were on the hunt for a carrier more suited to hot weather.It can take a bit of adjusting - and getting used to tightening from both ends to position the lumbar pad well - but once you get the hang of it becomes quick and easy. Ergonomic in all positions (M-Shape) - The Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh Carrier has been acknowledged as a "hip healthy" product by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

They are extremely lightweight, super soft, very breathable, perhaps surprisingly easy to tie and come in such a fun range of designs and patterns.However, this is a carrier that does fit a huge range and if it does fit you well it will be supremely comfortable.
