Away - All Colors

The Ergobaby Away is designed for older babies (12-35 lbs / 5,4 - 15,9 KG) and is a great secondary or just-in-case carrier to keep in your diaper bag or car.

You can use the Ergobaby Away in Front Carry Inward Facing and Back Carry positions.
Your baby's height and developmental milestones will determine the best mode to use.

• Front Carry Inward Facing – Min. 12lbs / 5,4kg to Max. 35lbs / 15,9kg
• Back Carry - Baby can sit upright unassisted and a min. weight of 17.2 lbs / 7,8 kg and max weight of 35 lbs / 15,9 kg. This is usually around 6 months.

Please refer to the instruction manual and instruction videos for each carry mode before using your Ergobaby Away baby carrier and before attempting new positions.

No, the Ergobaby Away is not designed for babies to face outward.
If you're interested in an Ergobaby carrier that allows an outward-facing position, we recommend the Omni Breeze or Omni Dream baby carrier.

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 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 buckle.

Additionally, 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.

Ergobaby Away is a lightweight, portable, back-up baby carrier with multiple ways to store compactly, so you always have a baby carrier on hand without compromising on space -- from quick trips to the grocery store to walks to the neighborhood park, whether with a stroller or on the train. Ergobaby Away is the perfect carrier that conveniently stows and goes with you, ready for whenever you need it.

Ergobaby Away is meant to carry babies from 12-35 lbs / 5,4-15,9 kg, but Ergobaby also offers other baby carriers that carry from newborn to toddler (Omni Breeze, Omni Dream, or Aerloom) and a newborn only carrier (Embrace). If you're looking for an everyday baby carrier with all-around comfort and functionality from newborn to toddler, consider looking into the Omni Breeze or Omni Dream baby carrier.
