Ergobaby FAQs -
Can I use the Ergobaby Omni Breeze with my newborn baby?
The Ergobaby Omni Breeze baby carrier can be used with your newborn
meeting the minimum weight and height requirements, in the front carry
position facing you. Your newborn baby must weigh 7 lbs minimum (3.2 kg)
and be at least 20 inches tall (50.8 cm).
Do I need to use and infant insert with the Ergobaby Omni Breeze?
The Ergobaby Omni Breeze baby carrier has been specifically designed so
you can carry your newborn baby (minimum 7 lbs / 3.2 kg) without the
need of an infant insert. Easy to use, the Ergobaby Omni Breeze
carrier's bucket seat gradually adjusts to your growing baby from
newborn to toddler (7-45 lbs / 3.2-20 kg) to support your baby in an
ergonomic M-shape position at all ages. Please refer to the label on the
waistbelt or instructions to adjust the seat based on your baby's
height.
How long can I use the Ergobaby Omni Breeze in terms of age and weight of baby?
The Omni Breeze baby carrier is suitable from birth (minimum weight 7
lbs/3.2 kg and minimum height 20 in/50.8 cm) until 45 lbs/20.4 kg. This
is typically from newborn up to around 4 years old.
How do I adjust the Ergobaby Omni Breeze to suit my baby?
The Ergobaby Omni Breeze carrier adapts to your growing baby in just one
step. Adjust the seat using the velcro tabs on the waistbelt based on
your baby's height: along the red lines for a baby between 20-24 inches /
50.8-61 cm (~0-3 months), along the yellow lines for a baby between
24-28 inches / 61-71 cm (~3-9 months), along the blue lines for a baby
over 28 inches / 71 cm (~9 months +).

When is baby ready to face forward?
Every baby develops differently. You can start wearing your baby facing
forward once your baby demonstrates all the following - strong head and neck
control, starts showing interest in the world around them and chin is
above the carrier panel. This is usually around 5-6 months. Make sure to
widen the seat to the widest setting (Blue Velcro setting) when baby is
facing out: adjust the slider adjustments to the inner setting (toward
the center of the carrier) for the Omni Breeze Carrier. In outward
facing position, baby’s arms should always come out the sides of the
carrier above the shoulder strap attachment point. NEVER out of the top
edge of the carrier above the neck support. If baby gets sleepy or shows
signs of over stimulation, turn baby around to face you. Therefore, we
recommend the facing forward position to be used for a shorter duration - around 20 minutes. Baby should be removed completely
from the carrier for repositioning.
How do I wear the waistbelt?
The Ergobaby Omni Breeze baby carrier has a waistbelt with a lumbar support for added comfort. With a newborn baby, you should wear the waistbelt high and tight on your waist so baby is close enough to kiss. When baby gets older, you can keep the waistbelt higher or position it lower on your hips. It is up to you to see what is the most comfortable for you and your baby as she/he gets heavier. For smaller babies or parents with a long torso, we recommend wearing the waistbelt higher on your body. In the event of a C-section, wearing the waistbelt higher will likely be more comfortable for you. We recommend that you always wear the waistbelt in a snug fit as it allows an even better weight distribution on your hips for more comfort on your back and shoulders. The lumbar support should always be centered on your back in the front position, centered on the front for the back carry position, and supporting your back in the hip carry position.

Can the shoulder straps be crossed?
You can wear the Ergobaby Omni Breeze baby carrier with shoulder straps
crossed on your back in the front carry position, with baby facing in or
facing out. Wearing crossed straps or parallel straps is individual
comfort preference. The crossed straps allow you to easily position the
shoulder straps where it is most comfortable for you to wear them on
your shoulders, which makes it a great feature for parents with narrower
or wider shoulders. It is also appreciated by parents with less
mobility as you don't need to reach in the back to fasten and tighten
the chest strap, as all the buckling and fastening is done on the front.
How should I position the sliders?
• Sliders should be on the outward setting (towards the outer edge of
the carrier) for Front Inward Facing, Hip and Back Carry modes.
• Sliders should be on the inward setting (toward the center of the carrier) for Front Outward facing mode only.
• Sliders should be on the inward setting (toward the center of the carrier) for Front Outward facing mode only.
How do I make sure my baby's head is supported?
Until your baby has demonstrated strong and consistent head and neck
support, her/his head needs to be supported. Ensure the top edge of the
carrier is at your baby's mid-ear level for proper support by
positioning baby higher or lower on your body, when pulling the body of
the carrier up around your baby's back. For a newborn baby, 6 weeks and
under (minimum 7 lbs / 3.2 kg), fold the head and neck support on the
inside, and button it to the lower buttons on the front from the side
using the tabs for a tighter support. When baby starts to turn 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.
This usually happens around 7 weeks. For older babies, you can also
button up the head and neck support for extra support when needed, such
as when she/he is sleeping. When wearing your baby facing out (min 14
lbs/6.4 kg), make sure the head and neck support is folded down on the
outside and buttoned to the lower buttons, and that your baby's chin is
over the top edge of the carrier body.
How do I open the shoulder strap buckles?
At Ergobaby, safety is always a top priority. Given the construction of
this particular carrier, we use double locking buckles to ensure a
toddler baby could not accidentally open the buckle while seated facing
out in the carrier. Just squeeze the 2 sides like with a regular buckle,
and push the central tab at the same time. Please note that shoulder
strap buckles only need to be detach when using the in Hip position or
using the straps in the criss-cross position.
I find it hard to reach the chest strap buckle on my back to fasten or unbuckle it. What should I do?
Loosen the shoulder straps prior to putting shoulder straps on and
fastening the chest buckle. This will give you sufficient slack in the
straps to easily reach the Chest Strap buckle behind your head/neck,
without having to reach down your back. It is critical to maintain
enough tension on the shoulder straps to keep baby secure while
attaching the Chest strap buckle.
You can also try using the Omni Breeze baby carrier with crisscross straps when in the front carry position with baby facing parent or facing out as there is no need to reach in the back to buckle/unbuckle the chest strap - all the fastening and tightening is done on the front.
Lastly, you can try the “T-shirt method” of putting on the carrier. This allows the chest clip to already be fastened before you put on the carrier.

How do I make sure my baby's hips are in an ergonomic spread squat position (m-position) with thighs well supported and baby's back supported in a natural position?
After securing shoulder straps, always make sure baby's bum is evenly
centered in the carrier. Reach inside the carrier and rotate baby's hips
into a seated position, sinking baby's bum deep into the carrier to
encourage a comfortable natural spine position (slightly rounded,
C-shape). Then squat baby's legs to make sure baby's knees are
positioned higher than baby's bum for a proper spread-squat position
(M-Position). Finally, pull the seat sides (padded thigh area) out on
either side ensuring the fabric/padded area under baby's thighs reach
from knee to knee.
How does the Omni Breeze differ from the Omni 360 cool air mesh?
Omni Breeze is our most breathable carrier that does it all. Lightweight
SoftFlex Mesh that covers almost all of carrier provides maximum
airflow with a streamlined look to keep you and baby cool and dry all
day. Additionally, it has foam cut outs in the waistbelt and lumbar
support for breathability. Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh offers targeted mesh
panels for a high level of breathability with more technical look. Both
carriers offer all carry positions (inward, outward, hip and back
carry), premium features (padded shoulder straps, lumbar support, hood,
etc) and grow from newborn to toddler (0-48 months).
Does this come with the ErgoPromise Lifetime Guarantee?
Yes, as with all ergobaby baby carriers and wraps, the Omni Breeze comes with
the ErgoPromise Lifetime Guarantee. If you find a manufacturing or
material defect, ergobaby will replace your carrier or part at no charge. We
stand by our products so you can carry your precious cargo with
confidence.
