Ergo Omni 360 goes to Disney World

If you know my family, you know how much we love to baby wear. When I was pregnant with my first son, a baby carrier was the first thing we added to our registry. And since then, 2 more kids later…we still baby wear, and well into toddlerhood. Thank you Ergobaby for sponsoring this post and sending us the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh carrier, which we used for our quick family trip to Disney World. Living in Florida, it’s obvious that we endure some hot weather, so baby wearing becomes a bit sweaty for the baby/toddler and the parent. So we put the Ergobaby Omni 360 carrier to the true test.

My husband and I switched off baby wearing because I’m now almost 4 months pregnant, so the only position I felt comfortable doing was the back carry. And like I said before, my husband enjoys baby wearing.

Joel loved all positions of the baby carrier that we tried with him while at Disney, which included back carry and front outward carry. Even with temperatures in the mid-80s he never broke a sweat, and neither did my back nor my husband’s stomach.

A few things we loved:

• The front zippered pouch for carrying personal items such as cash, cellphone or passes

• The back support

• All the different carrying options

• The breathable 3D air mesh panel

• The color: I’m not crazy about wild prints, I’m very minimalist and like neutral colors

• It’s machine washable: I’m a mom to three boys, nothing stays clean

• I can use this with the new baby. You can start using this carrier starting at 7lbs, so basically birth. No need for a newborn insert. The carrier comes with a booklet on how to adjust everything so your baby is properly being worn.

Would I recommend this to another parent?

Absolutely! It’s an all in one! Like I mentioned before, you don’t need to buy any extra pieces. That one price of $180 includes it all! And baby wearing is not just for family outings, I baby wear at home to get things done when the baby is extra clingy.

Let’s talk about the details of the Ergobaby Omni 360 carrier:
