Ergobaby is an American baby carrier brand founded in Hawaii in 2003. The brand was created by parents who wanted a carrier that supported their baby in a naturally healthy seated position while being comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Every Ergobaby carrier is designed to hold babies in the M-position - knees higher than bottom, thighs spread around the wearer - which supports healthy hip and spine development. Ergobaby carriers are certified hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Peekaboo Baby is an authorised Australian retailer for Ergobaby, stocking carriers, wraps and accessories with free shipping on orders over $129.
The Ergobaby range covers every carrying stage from newborn through to toddler. Parents looking for a structured Ergobaby carrier can browse the full range in the baby carriers category at Peekaboo Baby.

The Ergobaby Omni 360 is the brand's flagship structured carrier. It is suitable from newborn (from approximately 3.2 kg) without a separate infant insert, and carries children up to 20 kg. It supports four carry positions: front inward facing, front outward facing, hip carry, and back carry. The Omni 360 uses woven fabric and is designed for all-day wear. It is the most versatile carrier in the Ergobaby range and suits parents who want one carrier from newborn through to toddlerhood.
The Ergobaby Omni Breeze shares the same four-position design as the Omni 360 but uses SoftFlex mesh fabric. The mesh construction makes it more breathable and lighter, which suits Australian parents through summer months. The Ergobaby Embrace is a soft-knit carrier designed specifically for the newborn stage, from birth to approximately 11 kg. It provides skin-to-skin closeness and is simple to put on without complicated buckles. The Ergobaby Alta Hip Seat carrier includes a built-in padded seat, making it practical for toddlers who frequently want to get up and walk.
Ergobaby produces a range of carrier accessories including the Infant Insert (for carriers that require it), teething pads to protect shoulder straps, and weather covers. These accessories extend the usability of the carrier across seasons and developmental stages. Browse all Ergobaby accessories in the baby carriers category.
A baby carrier and a pram are complementary tools for most Australian parents - carriers work well for newborns and busy outings where a pram is impractical. Browse prams and strollers alongside the carrier range to build out your travel setup. For parents building a hospital bag, an Ergobaby carrier is a common inclusion - see the hospital bag category for other essentials. Ergobaby carriers are also suitable for breastfeeding in a carrier, and many parents in the breastfeeding community recommend structured carriers for hands-free nursing.
The Ergobaby Omni 360 and Omni Breeze are designed for newborns from approximately 3.2 kg without a separate infant insert. The Ergobaby Embrace is designed specifically for babies from newborn to approximately 11 kg, which covers roughly the first 12 months. Most Ergobaby structured carriers support children up to 20 kg, covering the full toddler stage. The lower weight limit (3.2 kg) means most full-term newborns can be carried from their first days, though it is worth checking the individual product specification for the exact range.
The M-position describes how a baby sits in a carrier with knees higher than the bottom and thighs spread around the wearer's body, forming an M-shape when viewed from the front. This position supports healthy development of the hip socket and spine in infants and is endorsed by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. All Ergobaby carriers are designed to hold babies in the M-position automatically without requiring the parent to adjust the baby's positioning manually. Carriers that do not support the M-position can place strain on the hip joints, particularly in the newborn stage when joints are most flexible.
The Ergobaby Omni 360 and Omni Breeze share the same carrier design, the same four carry positions (front inward, front outward, hip, back) and the same newborn-ready fit from 3.2 kg. The key difference is the fabric. The Omni Breeze uses SoftFlex mesh fabric that is lighter and more breathable, which suits warmer Australian conditions and extended summer use. The Omni 360 uses woven cotton fabric, which is more structured and suits cooler weather. Both carriers support children up to 20 kg. Australian parents often choose the Breeze for year-round use given the climate.
Yes. Ergobaby carriers are designed so both parents can share one carrier. The shoulder straps and waistband adjust independently to fit different body sizes without needing to disassemble the carrier. This makes handover between parents quick and straightforward. The waistband adjusts to fit waist sizes from approximately 66 cm to 127 cm depending on the model. Ergobaby recommends each wearer do a proper fit check before their first use to confirm the carrier sits correctly on their body. Instructions are included with each carrier.
The Ergobaby Embrace is designed specifically for newborns and young babies up to approximately 11 kg. It uses soft knit fabric that allows skin-to-skin contact and is simple to put on with minimal buckles. The Ergobaby Omni 360 is also newborn-ready from 3.2 kg without a separate insert, and it grows with your child to 20 kg - which makes it the more practical long-term investment if you want one carrier across multiple stages. Parents who prefer the closest newborn hold often choose the Embrace for the early weeks and transition to the Omni 360 or Omni Breeze as the baby grows.
