Does this carrier have the option for a closed pouch-like bottom for newborns, similar to the Ergo carrier?

No. The Carrier One does not offer a closed pouch-like bottom. It does have two front-facing newborn carry positions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX6-SwrN7cQ

I don't believe there's an insert for the Boba Air. I know there's an infant insert with the Ergo. The Boba Air will probably too big for a newborn.

It doesn't have an infant insert, but it has loops and buttons and a piece you zip closed to use with an infant. It was ok when he was really little, but I would go with a Lillebaby (which we love and is way more comfortable to wear) or an Ergo baby carrier.

hi, I have one of this but it has a cushion with plastic hooks that you can select the level where will be the baby. newborn is highest level. in general this tub is confortable for the baby and for the parents. I recomend it. rgds / hola, yo tengo una como esta pero tiene un colchon con ganchos de plastico con los que puedes seleccionar el nivel donde quieres situar al bebe. para recien nacido es el nivel mas alto. en general esta bañera es muy comoda tanto para el bebe como para los padres. yo la recomiendo. saludos!

Hi, I bought this baby carrier when my daughter is 1 month old. Now she is 10 month and 4 week old. She is 20 pound. I am still using my carrier but I am not comfortable as previous. The carrier has one snap-fastener both side of down part of carrier. It should be stay more stable to keep bottom part of it wide, but when baby is gaining weight and moving her leg more stronger then snap fastener easily opens. That time my back getting ache quickly. This carrier is not good and strong for big baby. I hope this review is helpful.

My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo. The shoulder straps loosen quite a bit so that your baby can sit lower in order to reach the breast. You can buy sling type carriers that put the baby in a more natural position for nursing but I always found that I still had to hold baby up to the breast because I couldn't get the carrier to adjust perfectly. In the Ergo my son can nurse completely hands free. I have heard that the Moby wraps are good for nursing in but I've never had one. I love my Ergo. It's by far the most comfortable carrier I have ever owned and it can hold up to 35 lbs so we will get a few years out it. My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo.

It is smaller than the ones you buy separately, but it fits under the babies bottom and the quality is good. I used in when traveling and I did not want to take extra things. But around town, I use my bigger folding one.

It's my understanding that this product is similar to the Ergo, but I don't have one of those do I can't say for sure. It's pretty different than the Moby Wrap, though. The baby sits differently and there are fewer options for using it. I find the Moby Go provides better (more comfortable) support for baby's legs than the wrap. What does your baby dislike about the other carriers?

I don't think so. I haven't tried the Ergo, but have used the Moby wrap with my son which he was happy in. The reason I chose this carrier over the Ergo is because I liked the criss cross back and I had been happy with my other Moby product. It looks to me like babies sit in pretty much the same position in both this carrier and the Ergo. It also seems to have the same coverage. I would guess that if you baby hates the other carriers, he/she probably won't be super happy in this one either.

It does not require an insert like some other carriers. (Ergo) the waist band folds up and snaps to make the body of the carrier shorter to accommodate a newborn. I believe that is a feature that has changed on the newest model recently released.

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

Not that I know of. My youngest was 8 months old when we bought it, and she sits right in the stroller. I don't think it's made to accommodate an infant carrier.

Bottom is solid, also had a "sheepskin" like very thick removable pad. Carrier is a mixture of mesh and solid, mostly solid though. Very good carrier for the price.

No, the baby has to face you. You can, however, wear the baby (facing you) on the front, on your back, or on your side (the side just takes re-configuration of the straps). My kids, even the ones who loved being forward-facing in the Baby Bjorn, did fine in the Ergo facing me. Once they're big enough to ride in the Ergo without the infant insert (once they have head control), they are high enough in the carrier to look around quite a bit, so I think this is why it worked for us. Hope this helps!

Newborns can be put in an Ergo, but you need the newborn insert to add to the carrier, and they need to be worn on your front only. Backpack and side carries need to wait until baby has good head control

If you were the baby on the back, there is a strap at the chest and waist. It is a toy version of the actual ergo carrier.
