This means the buckles on the ends of the shoulder straps clip into the sides of the body panel: much easier than having to do up a connecting strap behind your back (as per the Original and 360).

My favourite feature of the 360 was that I could breastfeed while wearing it, which is especially useful with having two children. A mirror helps at first so you can make sure baby is evenly positioned, and it’s extremely easy to reach inside the carrier, under their bottom to adjust their legs into an ‘M’ position for their comfort and hip health.

When baby starts to turn his head from side to side and to hold his head for a few moments, you can fold the neck and head support on the outside and button it to the lower buttons.Given the construction of this particular carrier, we used double locking buckles to ensure a toddler baby could not accidently open the buckle while seated facing out in the carrier.

The Ergobaby Omni range of carriers are all VERY similar, just with slightly different features and fabrics. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a carrier that will last them a long time and offer lots of options as their family grows. I found it easy to get a really close fit thanks to the shape of the carrier seat and those brilliant crossable straps.The shoulder straps are also well padded and the fact that you can cross them over your back makes for a more secure fit, especially if you are petite. It’s safety tested all the way to 33lbs (15kg), but remember a comfy fit is determined by baby’s height, your shape and both of your carrying preferences, rather than just your baby or toddlers’ weight.

My toddler has just about outgrown his baby carrier so looking for something that will last from now (18months+). The Ergobaby Omni 360 baby carrier offers all carry positions, and can be used in the front carry position facing you or facing out, as well as hip and back carry positions.

The bucket shaped seat ensures you can get a comfortable seated position for baby in both inward and outward modes. The winds weren’t quite the 80mph they had forecast, but it felt like it being stuck up the side of the mountain in shorts. They are extremely lightweight, super soft, very breathable, perhaps surprisingly easy to tie and come in such a fun range of designs and patterns.
