Your hands/arms must be pretty flexible to be able to pull them yourselves haha.

[@ParentingCentral]

Which bit are you having trouble with! I do have a little bit of a bendy arm 😂 but I try to make sure I'm showing a reasonably average range of motion. Is it pulling down on the straps around the 2:20 mark? Or let me know! I'm pretty good at working out solutions for whatever flexibility you have.

@@ParentingCentral Hahah exactly that part! You do it so effortlessly

[@ParentingCentral]

I've made this video where I explain that part in a bit more detail. But if this doesn't help let me know and I'll put together a video where I'm careful not to do a chicken wing with my arm kzbin.infogQV2uPbKQK8?feature=share

At our local baby megastore, they advised to keep babies legs inside in a frog position until they are 3 months old. Any communication around whether babies legs can be inside the carrier

[@ParentingCentral]

In this carrier (Ergobaby Omni) specifically - legs must be out. It's definitely not designed to accommodate a legs in position. If they were giving general advice did the staff give any specific reasons or areas of concern with legs out? It's hard to comment on the advice you were given without context but personally if I'm using a baby carrier I do like the option of legs in (with an infant pillow/newborn insert) for a fresh newborn, not to a set age, but while they still have the newborn "curl" or "scrunch". but I'm also very aware (after 11 years teaching people how to use baby carriers) that for a lot of parents they don't have a lot of hands on support learning how to use a baby carrier correctly. so legs out is generally going to be more likely to be done correctly by most parents. If it's helpful LILLEbaby carriers can do both legs in or out with a newborn so you can get a feel for what you prefer.

Can you compare it to the Tula Explore?

[@ParentingCentral]

Hi Marit, thank you for your question! I don't have the Tula Explore on hand to make a side by side video. However I have previously review the Tula Explore here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2mmqHSNnd2BZs0 To compare briefly I'd say Omni Breeze is lighter, more breathable and offers the best forward facing positioning. The Tula Explore has an overall bigger panel to accommodate a bigger toddler and they have a better range of colours/prints/designs compared to Ergobaby. Otherwise they are very similar in terms of the function, fit, comfort etc. I hope that helps! - Rachel.

What about when baby scrunches legs up. I can’t get my babies legs out?

[@ParentingCentral]

How old are they and approximate size/weight? It's totally okay (and expected) for their knees to draw up, so they're in a little M or "froggy leg" position. As long as their feet are on the outside so they can't push themselves up suddenly. (Those little froggy legs can spring) If they're pretty fresh and tightly scrunched it can be a matter of getting them in, scoop their bottom down deep into the "seat" of the carrier and as they relax a bit from being moved around then wiggle their legs so their hips relax out and get their feet free of the carrier. You can also squish the fabric together between their legs if it feels like their feet are getting caught on the inside? It's hard to know exactly what will help without seeing them in the carrier (and I'm better at showing than explaining 😂) I could try to put together a quick video showing some of those tips if it sounds like what's going on?
