Ergobaby Omni Classic Baby Carrier No 06

The Omni is the carrier that does every position without an extra insert: newborn facing in, older baby facing out, hip carry, and back carry once they can hold their head up. The lumbar support and wide padded straps are what make a long walk comfortable for the adult, and the adjustable seat keeps the baby's hips in the position pediatricians recommend.

It is the baby shower gift for parents who want to go places, and a good Christmas present for the dad who has not yet found a carrier he will wear. It fits both parents without re-threading everything.

Rated from 7 to 45 pounds, with a privacy hood and a detachable pouch. Machine washable. It costs more than a wrap and the difference is that it is still in use at age two, on a trail, with a sleeping toddler.
