Can you feel lost in the jungle of baby carriers, with carriers that seem to have an endless number of settings, mile-long wrap fabrics, and everything in between? Now we dive deep into the brand Ergobaby and sort out the different models. Join us!
The first thing many ask is when you can start using the carrier and how long it will fit. The next question for many is the number of carrying positions the carrier can offer. Being able to turn your little one forward after 5-6 months (when the baby has developed a strong head, back, and neck) is something that is often requested. With these questions in mind, we divide the models into different categories. Which category describes you best? 
You who want to carry from the start, in an extra soft option.
Ergobaby has two models, the baby carrier Embrace and the wrap Aura. This is the choice for you who want to carry extra softly and closely during the first period. Both carriers are suitable from newborn (3.2 kg) up to 11 kg.
- Embrace is a simple baby carrier for the early days. It is as soft as a wrap but has the simplicity of a baby carrier with a waist belt and shoulder straps - a perfect choice for those who do not want to tie themselves. Embrace comes in two options, Embrace and Embrace Soft Air Mesh, the latter being a more breathable option.
- Aura is a Wrap made of soft, thin viscose. You tie it yourself and get a fit that follows your body. Practice 3 times and then you are a pro. Aura is popular because it is thin (read cool) and easy to handle. So if you want to try a wrap, this is a perfect first choice.
Since these are options for the initial period, it is recommended that you only carry facing towards you on the stomach in these models.
You who want a baby carrier that offers everything for the entire toddler period
If you want a baby carrier that fits from newborn, can be used throughout the toddler years, and also checks off the other question, the ability to face forward, you should check out the best-selling model Ergobaby Omni. Omni comes in two variants, Omni Breeze and Omni Dreem (which has replaced the previously best-selling models Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh and Omni 360).
- Omni Breeze is Ergobaby's coolest model and takes air circulation to a whole new level with the new SoftFlex™ material.
- Omni Dream is Ergobaby's softest baby carrier with softly brushed SoftTouch™.
The difference between these two models is precisely the material; otherwise, they offer the same features, i.e., 'all' carrying positions (inward-facing, outward-facing, hip, and back), from newborn to 20 kg, the ability to cross the shoulder straps, extra storage and small smart pockets, pacifier holder, and much more. In other words, a safe choice for those who don't want to miss out on anything.
For those who want a cheaper baby carrier for the entire toddler period
There are many purchases to be made and it can easily become expensive, we understand that. If you want a baby carrier for the entire toddler period at a cheaper price, there is the model Adapt. In Adapt, you can carry directly from newborn up to 20 kg, no insert needed. In Adapt you carry your baby facing you, on the hip and back. This model suits you if you think three carrying positions are enough. Also Adapt comes in two options, cotton and Soft Flex Mesh. 
For the athlete who cares extra about the environment
Aerloom is Ergobaby's latest Limited Edition model and stands for development and innovation. This is a baby carrier made from recycled polyester and is knitted in one piece, which means there is no waste in the manufacturing process. All colors except black are produced in smaller collections, and the material is very similar to that found in soft sports shoes. This is an ultra-light baby carrier (weighs only 660 grams). In Aerloom you can carry from newborn (3.2 kg) up to 15.9 kg facing you, facing forward, and on your back. This is the baby carrier for those who want a light model that is unique to you and extra kind to the planet.
Those were all the models, did that clear things up for you or are you still wondering? The best thing is to try them out, all baby carriers are different and of course, people prefer different ones. A tip, regardless of the Ergobaby model, is to place the carrier high up when the baby is small. It should sit higher than you think, think waist rather than hips, so that the baby comes up to kiss level (so that you can easily kiss your baby on the head). This ensures that the weight is on your waist/hips where you are strong and not on your shoulders, and it also places your little one in an ergonomic frog position, which means a slightly rounded back with the bottom below the knees.
