No insert is needed the Embrace is ready to use from birth (from 3.2kg) right through to 11.3kg, with a simple three-buckle system, hip-healthy support, and both facing-in and facing-out carry positions as your baby grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eErgobaby's Aura Wrap is a classic, lightweight baby wrap — genuinely one of the best infant carrier for newborns options if you want the soft, close-contact feel of traditional wrapping, made easy for beginners.

A wrap (like the Aura Wrap) uses a long piece of fabric tied around your body, offering a very close, adjustable fit that many parents find especially soothing for newborns, though it takes a little more practice to tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt what age can a baby use a newborn carrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the Embrace and Aura Wrap are designed for use from birth, provided your baby meets the minimum weight requirement (from 3.2kg\/7lbs for the Embrace).
