Ergobaby Omni 360 vs BabyBjörn Carrier Mini
Two beloved carriers at very different points in the journey: the Ergobaby Omni 360 is the do-everything carrier that lasts from newborn to toddler, while the BabyBjörn Mini is the dead-simple carrier that's easiest to use in the newborn fog.

The verdict
If you want ONE carrier for the whole ride — all four positions, no infant insert, real back support — the Omni 360 is the clear long-game pick. If you mostly want easy, solo contact naps in the first few months and don't mind buying a second carrier later, the featherweight, click-and-go Mini is genuinely lovely for the newborn stage.
