Écharpe de portage Aura en tissu mesh - ERGOBABY

Love it. So easy to wrap on yourself and baby is secure, also perfect for newborns

It was hard to get the hang of it but definitely worth getting it right. Baby loves it and sleeps the entire time she is in this wrap! Would recommend.

We aren't new to Babywearing but have tried out a TON of soft structured carriers + half buckles and more recently had the opportunity to test out the Aura Baby Wrap in exchange for our honest input from Stellar Product Testing Panel. That being said, this wrap is incredibly airy, lightweight and intuitive. It comes with a pamphlet that provides pictures + step by step instructions on different baby wearing styles (front, back and side) and was *perfect* for my 3 month old as it kept him close to my chest without being overly stretchy (so stayed secure) and I could wrap it (with assistance from my husband for the first few times) even when my little one was having a complete meltdown. I also was a fan of the neutral grey material as it looked good on both my husband and I plus the material stayed secure without sagging (and we wore little one for several hours before he needed to nurse again). Our favorite feature (and one that I haven't seen yet on similar carriers) is its built in fabric hook and storage pouch which folds in on itself for easy transport in a diaper bag without taking up too much room. Overall we were incredibly impressed and this will be our 'go to' baby gift for new parents as being able to function hands free with your newborn is a MUST during your fourth trimester! Overall I'd highly recommend this for 0-6 months as it keeps baby close and secure without needing an insert or support and isn't bulky to tote around and honestly is so soft it can double as a baby blanket or nursing cover in a pinch.

TLDR; Don't be intimidated by this wrap. The material was light and airy without being overly stretchy and fit easily in my diaper bag. Plus, it is budget friendly and intuitive to put on (especially with the instruction pictures). Thanks to Stellar Product Panel for allowing us to try this out in exchange for our honest feedback.

This wrap is great! Soft, comfortable and breathable which is FABULOUS for the warmer months. I’m 5’ so most cloth wraps tend to be really long and have a lot of extra fabric. I usually have to wrap it around myself a couple of times so it’s not hanging down. The length of this wrap is perfect, no extra wrapping needed! Super easy to put on, and baby loves it! My little is 14lbs and I can still easily wear her in the Aura wrap. Unlike structured carriers, she can easily look around without anything obstructing her vision. If you want something stylish, functional and comfortable (which is KEY postpartum!), then I highly suggest this wrap! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby carrier. I’ll be using it until I can’t any longer!

My favorite thing about this wrap is the mesh material. It was soft and breathable. I live in Houston which can get very hot and I like not having to worry about overheating my baby. The only con I have with the fabric is that I found it to be a little less supportive than wraps made with other materials. I’m glad I was able to try this wrap as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

For starters, this wrap is so comfortable and very breathable for the summertime months. I found it to be easy to use once I watched the video and was easy to put my baby into. My baby seemed to feel comfortable in the wrap and let me wear her for several hours. The fabric honestly feels very luxurious and is breathable. I know the mesh is typically more beneficial in the summer months but I’m actually using this in the winter time because my baby sweats quite a bit so she doesn’t seem to get too warm when I wear her in wrap. I also like that it comes with a built-in pouch that makes it easy to wrap up into for storage. It has also washed very well and looks just like it did when I pulled it out of the box overall I would definitely recommend this wrap. I’m a new mom and this is one of my first experiences using a baby wrap and I found it to be very simple to use. So if I can do it I feel like anyone can do it.

ErgoBaby Aura Baby Wrap

Soft Grey - Mesh.

This household is no stranger to baby wraps. Though we only have one tiny human filling the home with gurgles and single vowel songs so far, she has served as the perplexed but willing test subject for at least four brands and many carrier styles since her birth.

I voice this information to serve as an assurance that this review comes after a real-world test with a very real marketplace context. We went into the wrap/carrier market as many do, wildly over-informed on the product landscape as Google search, Reddit forum and review site addicted expecting parents.

I'll address the specific features listed on the product as plus points and that way it will quickly help those of you readers who are down to your final five wrap options and need someone to make your mind up for you. I'll give you the overall thoughts but most importantly and ahead of the rest, it supports the M-Posture your newborn needs to be in for hip and joint health.

The material is wonderfully breathable (Trust me, unlike every shirt, mattress or pair of socks you've purchased for yourself as an adult, it matters). Your body heat meets the babies in the middle and every little bit of atmosphere circulating when you move helps.

The amount of stretch in the material is a game changer for ease of adjustment and tying. The thick firm cotton wraps may feel like the way to go as it gives the illusion, or perhaps the actual result of "secure hold" when tied, but there will come 100 moments where you wish to slightly adjust, alter, untie or shift positions while wearing the baby, and they will always occur when the baby is FINALLY asleep, not crying or just comfortable. So the ability to wiggle and finesse this wrap in and out of position by manipulating the stretch is great. It also makes the initial wrap-up much easier regardless of who is wearing the baby. It also adds a lovely natural and smooth bounce when moving the baby.

The fit is amazing. Listed as Newborn + and rated for 8-25lbs and "One size fits most" the wrap fits both Mummy and Daddy in this house. We lay at both extremes of the size spectrum in height and build. Mum is tiny, Dad is a big lad and unlike others, it doesn't leave Dad feeling like he's strapped the baby into a Crop Top.

The color. It's Grey. As Grey goes it's lovely, and given the choice (and we were) going safe and bland is smart. But if you're looking for a review to help you decide if a grey is nice you'll need to head over to your local hardware store, and ask for a woman called Linda (I believe every hardware store is legally required to hire a paint expert called Linda) and have a thrilling discussion about the nuance between flannel grey, dolphin silver and platinum. You'll make her day and learn something to discuss at dinner.

The integrated pocket. It's a lovely feature. You won't use it more than 3 times, but it's lovely. This wrap will be found neatly stored on the floor where you frantically dropped it having unwrapped yourself. It might be thrown it in the pack n' play in the corner of the room that has become a storage bin because you "didn't need storage bins this early the baby doesn't have many toys", or thrown into the coat closet. It's basically a jacket for both you and baby, right?

Lightweight. It's very very light. But then all sheets of cloth are. Compared to my rowing machine this thing is very light, but no more or less than other wraps I have lying around. Having said that, this wrap does have a LOT more material to it. OK, I've come full circle in one paragraph as I write this and I concede that this may in fact be an awesome lightweight material.

Recycled Mesh. I wasn't there during the stripping down of plastic bottles and no longer loved or socially accepted 1980's neon windbreakers. Nor was I there to watch a chemical engineer turn the newly formed raw material into a workable thread to make this product with, but giving the process the benefit of the doubt and assuming all is as stated it's a fantastic thing to not be adding an extra few lbs to the issue of pollution.

A thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us this product to enjoy and test, our baby is comfortable it in, and we feel comfortable wearing it, and I have yet to find a downside to reaching for this over the others we have in the house.

I quote myself when I first used this product when I sign off with the following statement.

'I wish I had this wrap from the beginning, but we tried what are considered several of the 'market leaders' and this is better’. I should have perhaps had this statement at the beginning of this review but frankly, I think I should reward those who have stuck with me through this review most of all and cared enough about being an informed buyer to read it all.

I was given this baby carrier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I got surprised at how comfortable it is. As a first-time parent, I received two other baby carriers at my baby shower that were more structured, but the Aura Baby Wrap has truly stolen the show! What sets it apart for me is its incredible packability and user-friendly design and that it feels weightless. It is winter right now, but I can imagine the mesh fabric will be great for the summer months.

The simplicity of the Aura Baby Wrap is a game-changer. Initially, it took a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but once you've used it a few times, it becomes second nature. I like that you could wear it like a t-shirt and then put the baby in whenever you need.

One of the standout features for me is how comfortable it is for my back. Unlike the more structured baby carriers I received, the Aura Baby Wrap provides excellent support without putting strain on my back. I feel I can use it for longer periods of time than the other carriers.

In summary, if you're a first-time parent navigating the world of baby carriers, the Aura Baby Wrap is a must-have. It's practical, easy to use, and a lifesaver for your back. Highly recommended!
