Every product purchased through UK Baby Centre is covered by at least a 6 months warranty against manufacturing faults and defects. I tested the Premium Cotton model and the thick, sturdy fabric feels like it can stand up to all manner of everyday baby mess and daily use. Make sure to narrow the seat when baby is facing out: adjust the button seats to the inner grey buttons for the Omni 360 Cotton carriers, and adjust the slider adjustments to the inner setting (toward the center) for the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh carriers.

The Omni 360 also has the strap buckles in the front, making it possible to wear it with crossable shoulder straps, which the Original does not. The all-in-one, newborn ready Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh Baby Carrier has all the carry positions plus ultimate ventilation to keep you both cooler.

We generally recommend carrying babies over 2 years old on your back, as this is much more comfortable than having a baby of this age on your front, especially for longer durations.

The Ergobaby Original soft structured carrier, which has been around since 2002, highlighted the importance of supporting a baby’s hips in the ‘M’ position.We recommend that you carry your baby high enough on your back so they have a view of the world over your shoulder. A pushchair is a folding seat on wheels, generally designed for babies and small children, whilst Prams have a lie-flat seat so are perfect for your little one’s early months.

When you say the carrier is suitable to 36 months I am assuming that is just an age they have put on and it can still be used with 4 year olds?

Unclipping the buckles takes a bit of practise as they have a safety catch that requires you to lift and pull at the same time, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s a doddle and provides extra reassurance that baby will be safe. 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. Ergobaby has listened to parents from all over the world and worked with babywearing educators and doctors to develop the new OMNI 360. You won't need an extra infant insert either as the carrier easily adjusts from newborn to toddler (3.Which is really rather lovely, and makes your baby feel even more cuddleable while you’re carrying them! The Ergobaby Cool Air Mesh carrier comes in 4 stylish colours; Midnight Blue, Pearl Grey, Khaki Green, and Oxford Blue.
