Reviews
Easy to use
"This carrier is light weight and so easy to put on. It’s not bulky and the mesh fabric make it cooler to wear. I love the fact that you can use this carrier from newborn clear up until almost two years of age. I also love how you can breastfeed while wearing it. Getting your baby into the carrier is super easy. Very good support for your baby while they are in it. My baby would fall asleep almost instantly when I put her in it she was so comfortable. I received this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel but all opinions are my own."

A lightweight and innovative carrier
"*I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel* I am not a fan of super heavy and bulky carriers so I was excited to try this. I was amazed at how light the box was when it came—I don’t think I’ve ever used a carrier this lightweight before. The color is a gorgeous olive green color that I love. The mesh makes the carrier breathable and easy to maneuver. I wish I’d had something like this last summer! The carrier was really easy to adjust which I appreciated. It fit my toddler pretty securely and the straps felt comfortable and didn’t dig in. I really like how easy this is to put on but wish that it offered more ways to carry my toddler. He doesn’t always want to sit facing inward. Overall, this is a great carrier—I could see it best suiting a newborn or child 1 and under."

Great breathable baby carrier
"I’ve tried a few different carriers, and this has been my favorite so far! It was really easy to figure out, and it even has a guide on the inside to easily adjust to my daughter‘s measurements. The mesh fabric is great because it doesn’t get as hot as my other carriers, especially when we are going for walks outside. It’s comfortable on my shoulders and back and my daughter seems happy and cozy in it. My one complaint is that the two side buckles are a little tricky to undo because they are tucked into a pocket. Overall, it’s simple, lightweight, and has made it easier to carry my daughter around. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby carrier."

Easy and breathable
"I received this carrier as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and am so glad I did! I am a mom of three, my youngest is 2 months old so I have tried a lot of different carriers and this one has quickly become my go to. It has the perfect amount of structure to keep my baby comfortable and secure without sacrificing breathability. I am always very careful to make sure that my babies are in a good position for their head, neck, back and hips and the ergonomics of this carrier make it very easy to do so. The location of the shoulder straps also make it effortless to reach around my back and buckle them in, I’m not doing any awkward back bends to find them! My favorite part is the breathable mesh. With a hot summer upon us, it is by far the most comfortable for both my baby and me! Overall it is an awesome carrier, receiving a glowing 5 stars across the board from me on all features!"

Loved this carrier
"I received this carrier as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful slate blue color—it looks really high-end and well made. In terms of comfort, this is by far the most supportive carrier I’ve used. The weight was distributed evenly, so I didn’t have the usual pressure on my shoulders and back that I’ve experienced with other carriers. My favorite feature is how breathable it is. I wore my 11-month-old in it during the July heat, and neither of us felt overly hot. The fabric stayed comfortable even after wearing it for a while. The best part, though, is how much my baby loved it. He just melted right into me and seemed so content every time I wore him. My only wish is that it offered an outward-facing carry option. That said, as an inward-facing carrier, this is easily our favorite."

Wish I had it sooner
"Great little carrier! I got it when my son was 8 months old and only wish I had gotten it sooner. It’s light, compact, and breathable. My favorite part is how easy it is to get on by myself. The straps are long enough to make on/off easy even while holding the baby. I use it around the house and out on family walks. I got this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it arrived just in time for my baby to be home sick. I was able to work around the house and at the desk with him strapped on. He seemed to love it too, and it never slid or fell. Highly recommend."

Supportive and breathable carrier
"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby carrier. I'm a mom of three, so I've used many baby carriers over the years. I know that Omni makes great carriers in general, and the Omni Lite Mesh was no exception. I absolutely loved the supportiveness of this carrier. My youngest is 18 months old, and even with her being quite a bit heavier than a newborn, I still felt very supported in the waistband. I also live in an area where it gets incredibly hot in the summer, so I especially appreciated the breathability of the mesh fabric. I will note that the buckles are a bit nestled into the fabric and not as easy to access (my picture shows this), but this design helps to prevent any pinched skin so that's a fair trade off for me. Overall, this is a super functional carrier, great for year round use and comfy even with heavier toddlers."

Great Lightweight Carrier
"I received this product in exchange for my honest review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This carrier is a great lightweight option. Compared to other carriers I’ve used, I feel like this one works best for supporting a newborn, where some of the others feel cumbersome, with not enough support. The carrier was comfortable and breathable for a long day at the zoo. The mesh was the biggest game changer in the NC heat wave, keeping me and the baby cool. I do wish it had a forward facing option to grow with my baby into the toddler phase, but overall it is great."

Breathable baby carrier to help beat the heat
"My 9 month old loves this breathable baby carrier! With the hot summer months, it's made babywearing so much easier and more comfortable for both of us. The breathable mesh fabric keeps us cooler, which is a huge plus when we're outside or on the go. One of my favorite things about this carrier is how user friendly it is. The color coded details make it easy to ensure your little one is positioned correctly with proper ergonomic support, giving me extra confidence every time I put it on. If you're using it with a newborn, the newborn ready design also makes the setup feel simple and straightforward. It's incredibly comfortable for the wearer as well. The padded shoulder straps and supportive waistband help distribute weight evenly, while the additional back strap provides extra support and takes pressure off my back during longer periods of babywearing. Overall, my favorite feature is the breathable mesh material. Living in a southern state with two little ones under two means I babywear often, especially during busy days. This carrier has made that experience so much more enjoyable by keeping both my baby and me cooler and more comfortable while still providing excellent support I received this baby carrier from the Stellar Product Testing Panel."

A Lifesaver for Hot Weather and Wiggle Worms
"I received the Omni Lite Mesh baby carrier from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it has been a game-changer for our family. Living in a hot and humid environment like Florida, babywearing can usually feel like wearing a heavy blanket, but this carrier is a total exception. Getting this carrier on and off is incredibly straightforward. It is easy to put on and place my daughter in, or place her in first and buckle up afterward—either way works beautifully because the buckles are so easy to manipulate with just one hand. While my daughter is currently over a year old and smaller than average, meaning I couldn't personally test the newborn fit, the design is clearly well-thought-out. The integrated neck pillow looks fantastic for preventing a newborn's head from drooping, and I love that the bottom is adjustable. Even though she's already walking, being able to adjust the seat ensures her hips are always supported in the proper ergonomic "M" position for healthy development. The overall comfort and fit for both of us have been amazing. The shoulder straps are padded and very comfortable; while I obviously know I’m wearing a carrier, the straps don't dig into me at all. The ergonomic seat offers great support during everyday use. My daughter’s comfort speaks for itself: she has historically never allowed me to keep her in a carrier for more than a few minutes, but she happily stays in this one for long stretches without a single complaint! The breathable mesh fabric and streamlined design are exactly what parents in hot climates need. The lightweight mesh allows a breeze to flow right through, and the lighter color palette means it doesn't absorb the pounding sun. When wearing my one-year-old, I don’t feel any hotter than I would just holding her on my hip, which says a lot since she is flush against my body. It feels sleek, not bulky. What I love most about this carrier is how secure and comfortable it keeps my daughter, turning a kiddo who usually hates carriers into a happy passenger. It’s given me so much confidence that I fully plan to wear her through the airport on our upcoming trip to keep her secure, comfortable, and away from dirty airport floors as long as I can!"
