This simple carrier has been designed by a sling consultant to be the only carrier you need from birth to toddler years. If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional. Parent tester Paul, dad of two, said, “The Integra is a great carrier; it’s compact but also felt comfortable for our little one and supportive for my back. Georgina used both slings and wraps around the house when her children were newborn, and regularly take her kids on off-road walks using baby carriers. It can be used from birth up to three years and you can wear your baby facing you in the early months, then facing the world once they can hold their head up, and finally on your back as they head towards toddler years.

Some other carriers don’t have a waist strap, providing lumbar support, and therefore the baby’s weight is carried on your shoulders and these carriers generally don’t last very long – the one we had before (Baby Bjorn) was killing my back by 7 months. In terms of comparing to other baby carriers, we have used a Babyway carrier, a Baby Bjorn and a Beco Butterfly.Sling expert and midwife Katy Blundell, who was a judge for the 2022 MadeForMums Awards, also rated this carrier, saying "the apron style is really comfortable on my body type. As you can see I’ve majorly struggled to find any disadvantages, so I thoroughly recommend this Ergobaby Adapt carrier.

The carrier also comes with a detachable front pocket which is perfect for storing small belongings such as keys. There’s usually a guide to this one inside of the carrier’s waistband; if not then refer to the instruction manual. Parent tester Alannah, who tested this with their 3 month old (pictured), said "My husband found it really comfortable and supportive.I also like that every strap has a tiny elastic attached to the end which is used to hold the excess straps and stop them flapping about. From teething solutions and breastfeeding privacy to being seen in the dark, the designers have thought of everything and more with the Breeze" shared parent tester Claire, who tested this with their 4-month-old twins. Parent tester Hayley tested this with her two sons and said: "It’s amazing, as it’s so easy to put on and can be quickly adjusted between me and my much taller and wider partner.

The Babyway carrier features a cushioned head rest and leg openings for comfort and support, reflective strips for extra visibility and padded straps for comfortable carrying. As I mentioned in the advantages it’s easy to convert between age settings, just adjust the velco settings on the waist band (which are clearly identified on the actual carrier), and adjust the poppers on the outside to make sure little one is in the ‘M’ position – the carrier to reach to little one’s knees and their bottom should be lower than their knees.The appeal of this carrier is in its simplicity: if all the buckles, pockets and extra features on some carriers confuse you, this will be a breath of fresh air as it does away with all the fuss without sacrificing performance. Sling expert Katy Blundell was impressed with the quality of the carrier, describing it as: “Well-made with lovely breathable fabric”.
