About this deal
The Aura sling is 490 centimeters long and is Ergobaby's best sling if you are looking for a baby carrier that is most similar to the traditional large woven sling. By providing exposure to a range of environments, this can help to stimulate the senses and encourage sociability and language development. The fact that it’s just a length of fabric you can quickly tie makes it super versatile and it can be shoved in a bag and pulled out when needed.
Do be aware, though that on hot days, hoods can trap air and increase the temperature inside the carrier.
We generally recommend carrying babies over 2 years old on your back, as this is much more comfortable than having a baby of this age on your front, especially for longer durations. I found I did move on to the more structured carriers once my babies got a little bigger but these are considerably more expensive.
The main difference is that whilst the Omni 360 allows for a forward facing position, the Adapt carrier does not. It will be interesting to see how the parents using the carrier interpret this information and if they are able to detect signs of overstimulation easily.My youngest was born in January 2021 when the UK was treated to a couple of weeks of snow and freezing temperatures, and popping him in a snowsuit in the Ergobaby just felt a bit more hardy against the elements than a wrap. The narrower setting is designed for smaller babies facing in, and for larger babies in the front facing out position.
