Ergo Embrace

Written By Yvette ODowd

Ergobaby is a well-known international brand with a wide range of babywearing products. The Embrace is their dedicated newborn carrier — a soft, simplified alternative to their more structured buckle carriers, created to support close carrying in the early months without needing an infant insert.

Our Review

A soft, structured option designed specifically for the newborn stage and early months.

  • The lightly stretchy fabric creates a snug, tucked-in feel that supports baby’s natural position.

  • Shoulder straps cross behind the back and connect at the waist for a secure, balanced fit.

  • Quick to put on and take off, with minimal adjustment once fitted.

  • Packs flat — ideal to keep in a bag for easy use when needed.

Fit Notes & Hints:

Wear the waistband high in the early weeks to keep baby’s body well supported

  • Pull shoulder straps snug before fastening to maintain a close, high carry

  • The stretch in the fabric offers comfort but can sag slightly as baby grows

  • Not suitable for back carry or forward-facing positions

  • Caregivers with broad shoulders or long torsos may find the fit too short or snug
