How do I wash my upcycled denim carrier?
To wash your Upcycled Denim Carrier, follow the same washing instructions as our other baby carriers.
Make sure to fasten all buckles before washing. We recommend putting the carrier in a pillowcase. Use mild detergent free of bleach, perfumes, dyes, chlorine, or optical brighteners. Machine wash cold 30°C and air dry.
Can I use the Ergobaby Omni Dream with my newborn baby?
The Ergobaby Omni Dream 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 Ergobaby Infant Insert with the Omni Dream baby carrier?
The Ergobaby Omni Dream 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 Dream carrier's bucket seat gradually adjusts to your growing baby from newborn to toddler (7-45 lbs / 3.2-20.4 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 Omni Dream baby carrier in terms of age and weight of baby?
The Omni Dream 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 Dream baby carrier to my baby’s size?
The Ergobaby Omni Dream 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 +).
How many ways can I carry my baby in the Omni Dream baby carrier?
The Omni Dream baby carrier has four positions you can use to carry baby:
- Front Carry Inward Facing
- Front Carry Outward Facing
- Hip Carry
- Back Carry
Your baby's height and developmental milestones will determine the best mode to use.
- Front Carry Inward Facing – Min. 7lbs / 3.2kg and 20 in / 50.8 cm to Max. 45lbs / 20.4kg
- Front Carry Outward Facing- Baby has strong head and neck control and is taller than 25 in/63.5 cm (around 5-6 months).
- Baby’s chin must always clear the top of the panel. For comfortable babywearing for parent in the Facing Out position we recommend a min. weight of 14 lbs / 6.4 kg and max weight of 30 lbs / 13.6 kg
- Hip Carry - Baby can sit upright unassisted and a min. weight of 17.2 lbs / 7.8 kg and max weight of 45 lbs / 20.4 kg. This is usually around 6 months.
- Back Carry - Baby can sit upright unassisted and a min. weight of 17.2 lbs / 7.8 kg and max weight of 45 lbs / 20.4 kg. This is usually around 6 months.
Please refer to the instruction manual and instruction videos for each carry mode before using your Omni Dream baby carrier and before attempting new positions.
When is baby ready to Face Out?
Every baby develops differently. You can start wearing your baby facing out 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 Dream 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 overstimulation, turn baby around to face you. Therefore, we recommend the Facing Out position to be used for shorter durations of carrying only, so around 20 minutes. Baby should be removed completely from the carrier for repositioning.
When is baby ready for Hip Carry and Back Carry positions?
Every baby develops differently. You can start using the hip and back carry once your baby demonstrates strong head and neck control, can sit unassisted, and weighs 17.2 lbs minimum (7.8 kg). This is usually around 5-6 months.
Can I carry my newborn baby in the facing out position?
- Displays good head and neck control
- Chin clears the carrier panel when in good positioning
- This is usually around 5-6 months old.

How should I position the sliders on the Omni Dream baby carrier?

- 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 with the Omni Dream baby carrier?
How do I open the shoulder strap buckles on the Ergobaby Omni Dream baby carrier?
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 Dream 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. We recommend watching the instruction video on “T-Shirt Method” for step by step instructions.

What is Upcycled Denim Fabric?
Upcycled denim fabric refers to denim material that has been repurposed or transformed from its original form into a new product of higher value or quality. Upcycled denim fabric helps to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote a more environmentally conscious approach to fashion production. The Omni Dream Denim is composed of 100% Cotton Denim fabric. The main fabric is 100% cotton (70% upcycled) and the lining fabric is 100% cotton (50% upcycled).
