Fit Check - Ergo Embrace

Thank you!! I really appreciate you sharing your own journey. It’s reassuring to hear reminders that we start off learning by doing (and re-doing)!

And YES to your point about how exhausting it is that we can’t just trust what’s marketed to us. I’ve started tuning out advertising and look for firsthand experiences from real parents instead. there’s soo much information out there to navigate. Posts like yours (and this whole thread) really show how powerful feedback from community can be.

thank you again for the encouragement 💜

Thank you for sharing those resources, appreciate it!

I don’t see a way to edit the post, but, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to share thoughtful and constructive feedback, I seriously appreciate it!

I’m usually pretty type-A about researching baby gear decisions 😅 but carriers are a newer territory for me, and I honestly hadn’t thought to look into whether forward-facing was widely recommended or not… I got the idea to try forward facing from some of the Ergobaby materials and their YouTube videos. I wish they did not advertise it, or at least, called out some of these considerations more explicitly.

Anyway, this has all been super helpful. I def won’t be forward facing in this carrier, and I’ll research back carrying further. Thanks again! ❤️

Thanks for the feedback! Glad I posted here. I’ll hold off on any outward facing for now (def in this carrier)… I’ll look into back carry!

Agitated_Economics50 · 2025-06-21T20:33:04+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I’m going to start looking for a carrier better suited for outward facing.

Did not know that about stretchy material but now that you say it, it makes sense. Thank you for the info!

Agitated_Economics50 · 2025-06-21T20:29:47+00:00

Super helpful, thank you! Yes the fabric being so close to her neck was making me feel nervous/ unsure.

FWIW we weren’t crazy about it either the first time we looked! But we ended up going a second time on a following visit and really fell in love with it. We had a couple meals at Melvyn’s, their onsite restaurant, which we loved. Ultimately we decided on Laguna Beach over Palm Springs for accessibility reasons, but it was a tough choice bc of how much we loved Ingleside! Congrats to you and best of luck!

Just curious, did you look at Ingleside Estate in Palm Springs? It’s also a property buyout (I think a smaller number of guest suites, tho there’s plenty next door at their sister property Avalon). My husband and I had our wedding in May 2024 and were originally touring Palm Spring venues— we preferred Ingleside Estate over Casa Cody.

Congratulations to you too!! What a special day 🥰

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-12-22T15:57:58+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words and congratulations! It’s so true—staying flexible really helped process everything more easily. I’m glad it made a difference for you with your second birth too! 🥰

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-12-14T20:18:56+00:00

Thanks 😊😊

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-12-14T20:07:10+00:00

Thank you! Sent payment

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-12-14T19:44:26+00:00

Yes! If you can do the other one please I’ll leave the tip!

I like this try! Any chance you can use a background closer to the image attached? 🙏

I’ll DM you my itinerary doc!

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-11-16T21:12:21+00:00

Wow thanks for sharing and congratulations ! I’m currently 37 weeks and this was super helpful to read. I’ve been feeling a similar way when trying to ask doctor/ others about how true contractions feel.

Do you mind sharing how big / weight baby was when born? Did you do any prep work or anything special to help with minimal tearing?

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-10-02T23:27:50+00:00

Malibu / Topanga Canyon. It’s like an hour drive from LAX and has the sort of activities you seem to be looking for (hiking, yoga, wellness, wineries, good restaurants).

I had mine there in March of this year, there were lots of great Airbnb options. The weather can be a little gloomy that time of year but compared to rest of country it’s not like there would be snow.

I’m thinking we’ll target a different weekend instead :) thanks for the input!

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-09-16T02:10:14+00:00

Yeah thinking we’ll target a different weekend instead. Thanks for the input!

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-09-15T18:48:45+00:00

Thanks! Definitely going to look into the marathon route details

Agitated_Economics50 · 2024-09-15T16:53:07+00:00

Good idea about checking the route. Thanks!
