The Omni Breeze is suitable for newborns, has a weight capacity of 20kgs and offers all four carry positions - parent facing, world facing, hip and back carry. I would say that you could reasonably use the Omni Breeze until 2 years or beyond, especially if you’re using it in the back carry position.
As you would expect from an Ergobaby carrier, the Omni Breeze is ergonomically designed for both parent and baby.
For Parents, the shape and structure is designed to evenly distribute Baby’s weight across your body without putting excessive pressure on your back or shoulders. It has a wide supportive waistband and lumbar support, and padded shoulder straps. You can also easily cross the straps at the back if you prefer a tighter fit, especially if you have narrow or sloping shoulders.
For Baby, the Omni Breeze provides knee to knee support in the optional “M” leg positioning from birth through to babyhood and beyond. Essentially this means Baby’s knees are elevated higher than their bottom to ensure a more natural seated position in the carrier rather than legs hanging straight down.
This is recognised as a healthier hip position for Baby.
Also, the Omni Breeze is easy to use and with a little practice, parents are able to put Baby in and take Baby out of the carrier on their own, even on the go.

Thank you for your tips they were so helpful by the way I am a grandma my grandson's coming to visit and I was trying to figure it all out.

[@ParentingCentral]

So glad that helped!

Great video! For the ergobaby, does the weight of the baby fall on the velcro straps?? Are the straps strong enough for that?

[@ParentingCentral]

Hi there, it's very reasonable question and I've been ask a few times over the years demoing carriers. But the velcro isn't actually holding the weight of the baby, it's just holding the position/width of the panel. The centre of the panel is sewn onto the waistband. In the widest position the Velcro is holding baby's thighs up but I can't imagine the Velcro ever coming undone from the weight or even them pushing their legs down etc. I hope that helps!

Would you say that this is your most recommended carrier? 😊 I'm looking into getting one but there's so many choices it can be quite overwhelming. 😅 My major considerations would be: 1. Ease of use - I would be using it at home when alone with the baby and need to do some chores, it must be easy to put on and set up. 2. Comfort and breathability - we live in a tropical country 😁 I initially did not include the Omni 360 in my choices because I've heard it can be quite bulky. But so many reviews said that this Breeze version is much smaller now.

Hi there, great question! I completely understand it can be so confusing! I'll start with the easier questions - any carrier is going to be able to put it on yourself - in fact I think carriers often feel more complicated when someone tries to put one on you. Because it's easier for you to work out what feels right and comfortable on your own body. Omni 360 VS Omni Breeze - It does feel a bit softer and more flexible in the panel, so it does feel less bulky. Particularly for a newborn. In terms of the breathability - I had my second baby living in subtropics (Gold Coast, QLD) and found it didn't really matter which carrier I had her in we just sweated into each other anyway. Typically going for the "mesh" type carriers (like the Omni Breeze) will help keep you drier in that kind of sweaty humid environment. Alternatively lighter weight options like stretchy wraps or wrap hybrids. Less structure = less bulk. The bigger question! Is this the carrier I'd recommend the most? There's really no one carrier I'd recommend for all people. I do have a few comparison videos with the Ergobaby Omni Breeze if that's helpful to work out of this might be the right carrier for you OR if there's something better suited to your needs.

@@ParentingCentral Tula Explore Coast is also one of my consideration, since it has a mesh front and I've heard it's easy to use. Found a rental of it and decided to do that first to try. These carriers can be quite expensive. 😅 Thank you so much for your reply! 😊

[@ParentingCentral]

Oh interesting! I actually was recently sent a Tula Explore Coast to review - I do actually need to get on to making that video! I have previously reviewed the regular cotton Tula Explore here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2mmqHSNnd2BZs0 But great idea to rent a carrier before making a decision so you even know what features you want and need.

[@ppp0724]

@@ParentingCentral Will definitely wait for that Tula Coast review. There are very few I've seen, if any. And you make the best vids. ❤️

[@ParentingCentral]

Hey. I hope you're well! I put together a quick comparison - trying a new format because they're such similar carriers it really comes down to the little details. So hopefully this makes sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKrWgql3mtifiNk Of course in the video I forgot to talk about breathability and airflow for you. I don't feel like there is a dramatic difference between them, except the Omni Breeze might feel a bit *drier* because of all the mesh, particularly on the shoulder and waistband to wick sweat away faster. But I don't know if it would be the one deciding factor between them.
