There is a position called Newborn Mode – Facing In.
You can start using Ergobaby Embrace from birth – if your child weighs at least 7 pounds and is at least 20″ high.

Now, let’s focus on the positions – how to carry a baby in Ergobaby Embrace? Ergobaby Embrace – Carrying positions (from left): newborn mode, baby mode and facing out modeīecause of shorter usability and smaller amount of carrying positions, Embrace is less expensive than other baby carrier, but more on that later. This carrier is for newborns and infants and it suits its purpose really well. It lack the back carrying position – which is best for older babies and toddlers but I don’t see that as a drawback. As you can see this baby carrier is less versatile than Ergobaby Omni 360 or Baby Tula Explore, but that is because it’s mainly for newborns and babies up to 12-18 months.
Carrying PositionsĮrgobaby Embrace allows you to carry your child on your front, facing in or out. The fact that it’s newborn-ready, lightweight and so easy to use makes it a great choice as a first carrier. The newest addition to their collection is designed for newborns and infants – up to 25 pounds.

Plus I do hire these out as well – allowing you to try before you buy or even rent one for the full 4th trimester period and save yourself needing to buy one at all.Ergobaby is an expert when it comes to safe and ergonomic baby carriers.
Or if you don’t have one yet but are thinking of purchasing one you can read my full review here and p urchase through the Sheen Slings webshop here. I hope this helps! Remember if you are struggling at all with this carrier (or any other) please do reach out! I offer both online consultations and consultations in person… often all it takes is a few simple tweaks and a consultation can be the perfect way of troubleshooting and gaining confidence. Plus in general, most parents find their little one has outgrown the Embrace before they are ready to start exploring back carries anyway. Because the Embrace doesn’t have a chest strap and because it is made from stretchy material, it simply won’t feel as secure (nor be as secure) in a back carry compared to a carrier made from a non stretchy material and that has the chest strap for added security.

Again there is no back carry in the manual and Ergobaby don’t recommend this position for the Embrace. You’ll note I don’t show a back carry here. Thus once they are ready to move onto another bigger/longer lasting option they know whether it is worth investing in a more robust carrier that offers forward facing or whether they can cast a wider net and purchase something that doesn’t offer this position safe in the knowledge they wouldn’t really use it anway.
That said however, it can be fun for a short period and parents do find it helpful to try forward facing and see how baby gets on with it. Plus as baby’s are often starting to grow out of this carrier by the time they are ready to forward face – I can’t help thinking offering it is a bit of a gimmick. But this is exacerbated in the Embrace because the stretchy material means baby pulls further way and thus puts proprotionally more strain on your back. Facing your baby away puts baby’s center of gravity away from you, so puts more strain on your back in any carrier. But it is worth noting that of all the positions shown here with the Embrace this one is the least comfortable for the wearer. I beleive Ergo included it because market research showed at least 50% of parents won’t consider a carrier that doesn’t offer a forward facing position. The final position this carrier offers is the forward facing position.
