Wirecutter named the Mesh version of the Embrace its best newborn carrier after testing, Good Housekeeping UK scored it 99/100, and it holds 4.4/5 from 2,737 ratings on Amazon.sa.
The Amazon.sa price (about SAR 294) is below the official US price, but it is a short-lived, newborn-stage carrier, so it is worth it with conditions.

About the product
Overview
The Ergobaby Embrace (Oxford Blue, Soft Knit, model BCEMAOXBLU) is a front carrier made for newborns and the first months. It combines wrap-like softness with buckles: a waistband that clips on and wide shoulder straps that cross behind your back, so there is no long piece of fabric to tie.
Key features
- Rated for babies from 3.2 to 11.3 kg, and supports the ergonomic frog-leg (M-shape) seat, per the product listing.
- Soft, lightweight jersey fabric (about 480 g) with open sides for airflow, per the listing.
- Shoulder straps cross in an X at the back; Wirecutter found this made it easier to wear for long stretches than the other newborn carriers it tested, and that it adapts to different adult body sizes with minimal adjustment.
- Two carry positions: front facing in, and front facing out once the baby is big enough.
- Machine washable up to 30 °C.
- The listing states the fabric is Oeko-Tex 100 certified.
Who it suits
- Parents who want to carry a newborn close from the early days without learning to tie a wrap.
- Anyone looking for a light, simple carrier for home and short outings in the first months.
Limits to know
- It is short-lived: Wirecutter found it best up to about 4 or 5 months, and it stops giving good head support once the baby outgrows its shape.
- No back carry, and the maximum is 11.3 kg.
- Facing out requires the baby to be at least 66 cm tall with steady head and neck control.
- There is no sun hood and no pockets.
- Wirecutter's pick was the Mesh version; this is the Soft Knit version.
Safety and care tips
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely, especially the small-newborn setup (under 58.4 cm), which rolls the waistband inward twice to shorten the panel.
- Always keep your baby's face visible and airway clear, and never let them sleep while facing out.
- Machine wash at 30 °C maximum.
