Ergobaby All Position 360, Batik (SSC245) Check Availability

Overview

Buckle carriers (also known as soft structured carriers) involve a waistband, a panel of fabric to hold your child, and straps that go over your shoulder and fasten back around to secure the panel. 

The Ergobaby All Position 360 is designed for babies from 4-5 months plus.  Although Ergobaby sell infant inserts to use with younger babies, in our experience these can be a little tricky to use well. If your baby is younger than 4 months, we'd recommend you look at carriers that don't require an infant insert (we have plenty in stock, including the Ergobaby offerings including the Embrace and Omni models).

For babies who are over 5.5kg and have head control (usually around 4 months +) the Ergobaby 360 is a great option.  They're a really common choice for users that are looking for something after enjoying a stretchy wrap for the fourth trimester, or who are coming to slings and babywearing with a child over 4 months who are looking for a sling that will last a long time. The Ergobaby 360 is designed bigger than the Ergobaby Omni, and so will last further into toddlerhood (although we're sceptical about the 'until 48 months' claim on the box! My 3 1/2 year old was having none of it!)

It's a carrier that is often a top choice for comfort, particularly for older babies that find other slings rub or chafe - there's a LOT of padding to support your child's base, and it's a particular favourite for supporting legs in a forward facing out position for those that choose to sometimes carry in that position.  

It has shoulder straps worn like a rucksack (for smaller frames, sometimes the crossed straps of other models can feel a better 'fit', just FYI), and it is fantastic for front carrying facing you, front carrying facing out (once baby has great head and neck control, and never for sleeping) and back carrying (once baby can sit unaided).

Super supportive and padded!

Lots more about using buckle carriers well from Carrying Matters, including a detailed look at front facing out carrying and some of the aspects to be aware of (particularly the risk of airway compromise if asleep or head and neck are not held up by child and the keeping an eye out for overstimulation or stress if your baby cannot see you, turn away from the the world and snuggle back into their safe person).
