Ergobaby Omni 360 Review

The Ergobaby does it all—inward-facing, outward-facing, back carry, and side/hip carry—and it does it all ergonomically. It is safe for babies 7-33 pounds and is extremely comfortable and supportive for both baby and babywearer (that's you), featuring a ton of adjustability and lumbar support to boot.

It comes in some nice neutral colors, even though, overall, it definitely has a sportier look than some of my other favorite carriers listed here. The sportier look and feel makes it great for hikes (it has a cool mesh option for hot days!) and makes the Omni 360 a fan favorite among dads.

Things I Love About the Ergobaby Omni 360

Four of Four Carry Positions: The Ergobaby Omni 360 does inward-facing, outward-facing, back carry, and side/hip carry ergonomically. This carrier's versatility in carry positions is one of the main reasons it is our top pick. Ergobaby is known for supporting a particularly ergonomic outward-facing front carry, which is a position with which other carriers tend to struggle.
Decidedly Decent-Looking: Of all of the four-position carriers out there, the Ergobaby is the best looking of the bunch. It still looks a bit technical, but considering all soft structured carriers have buckles, straps, and buttons of one sort or another, at least the colors are nice and there aren’t too many extraneous straps and things.
Infant-Ready: The Ergobaby Omni 360 does not need an infant insert and is safe for babies 7-33 pounds.
Extremely Comfortable: Thanks to the lumbar support, the easy adjustability, and the soft padding, the Ergobaby Omni 360 is very comfortable for parents of all shapes and sizes.

Things I Don't Love As Much About the Ergobaby Omni 360

Technical Look: If you're looking for something that coordinates a little better with your lewk, you'll want to check out the Artipoppe Zeitgeist, Sakura Bloom Scout, Sakura Bloom Onbuhimo or the Happy Baby Carrier.
Not Very Compact: When not being worn, the Ergobaby Omni 360 doesn’t fold up particularly compact and will not easily fit in your diaper bag.
Not For Older Toddlers: Unlike most carriers that max out around 45 pounds, the Ergobaby Omni 360 maxes out at 33 pounds, a weight most toddlers hit sometime between ages 2 and 3. If you opt for the Omni 360 and want to carry your toddler after 33 pounds, you’ll eventually need a new soft structured carrier.
Cozier Than Cool: Although the Omni 360 allows for adequate airflow in most environments, it is not ideal for super hot climates and does not come in a mesh version at this time.
Expensive: At $180, this is one of the most expensive baby carriers and may be too expensive to be worth it for some. (If you count yourself in this category, try looking for used carriers on your local buy/sell/trade group on Facebook.)
