Compare the top 3 baby carriers in Australia 2026

For most families the Infantino Carry On at around 98 dollars is the smartest place to start - it is the cheapest pick here, converts between facing-in and facing-out, shifts weight onto your hips and carries from roughly 3.6 to 18 kg, so a lot of parents never need anything else. Step up to the BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Mini at 125 dollars if you want a small, genuinely easy newborn carrier from a trusted name and you mainly carry indoors, or to a hip seat if your back is the problem: the Tushbaby at around 132 dollars is the safety-certified original with a firm no-foam seat for quick ups and downs from 0 to 3 years, while the Bebamour at 143 dollars adds a backrest and hood for six positions but carries a much smaller review base of 370. The Ergobaby Embrace at around 173 dollars is the pick if you specifically want a soft newborn wrap with no inserts for the 3.2 to 11 kg stage. The standout, though, is the Ergobaby Omni 360 at 279 dollars: it is the all-position carrier - inward, outward, hip and back - that grows from newborn to toddler and is recognised as hip-healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, which is why it costs the most.
