Ergobaby Embrace

For parents who want the snug feel of a stretchy wrap without learning to tie one. The Embrace is made of soft, slightly stretchy fabric like a wrap, but it closes with buckles, so it goes on the same way every time, including at 3 a.m. with a crying baby. It suits the first year rather than the long haul: the range is 7 to 25 pounds, and the cushioned neck support is shaped around a small baby. Outward facing is offered, but save that for when your baby has strong head control and keep those stints short.
