The 12 Best Baby Carriers and Baby Slings of 2023, According to Parents

Ergobaby Omni 360 All-Position Baby Carrier for Newborn to Toddler ($104)

Another carrier that fits babies and toddlers from 7 to 45 pounds, the Ergobaby Omnio 360 has padded lumbar back support, extra padded shoulder straps, and even a UPF baby hood that offers sun protection and an option for breastfeeding privacy (if you prefer it). It boasts a 4.7-star rating on Amazon, with most parents saying it was comfortable, versatile, and provided plenty of back support for babies as they grew.

"Should have gone with the Ergobaby from the get-go, rather than eyeing a cheaper price for a baby carrier," one reviewer admitted. "It offers my 7 month old daughter a comfortable ride (she loves forward-facing walks) without compromising my comfort, and a more stimulating, eye-level view of the world."
