I do love the carrier. The fabric is beautiful and love that is linen. My problems with it though is that they claim that newborn pass 7 pounds can be in it. But I’ve tried with my 8 pound baby and he was not comfortable at all even though I watched 10 times the newborn tutorial to make sure I did it right. Maybe it’s just my baby but he was crying everytime I try to wear him in the carrier. Now that he’s 11 pounds he’s much happier in it and can actually wear it. So that’s nice. But I recommend the sling first when they are that young maybe. He loved being in the wrap. My second thing is I find the carrier not as comfortable as I would like. I notice when people wear it online seem to have a better adjustments on their shoulder with their carrier. I find the straps on mine always look awkward and doesn’t fall right on my shoulder not matter how well I adjust it. I really tried watching all the videos and tutorials but maybe it’s just my wider shoulder but it’s just never perfect for the fit. I still give 4 stars because overall it’s great. But I paid 340$ Canadian for this carrier and I’m a bit sad that it’s not a perfect fit and as comfortable as I thought it would be for the price.
Anais G.
Amazing! The color fit and quality! Couldn’t recommend enough
Heather A.
This carrier is very attractive, pretty easy to put on and comfortable. I love that I can nurse in it. My only complaint is the narrowness of the waist band and how it’s worn on the natural waist pushes my mom pooch down vs other carriers go over the pooch.
Kayleigh J.
Great quality, material and color!
Meghan R.
I thought I hated baby wearing but it turns out I just had the wrong carriers. I absolutely love the Aerial - it’s so easy to put on and take off and load in baby! You can tell baby is comfortable too.
Kealey M.
The Ariel is the only carrier I have been able to find that my baby fits in well! He was born small and still is but this carrier makes me feel so comfortable about going hands free and his head/neck still be supported! It is comfortable to wear and my back and neck feel supported as well! 10/10 would recommend!
Laura P.
Is a Baby Shower Gift. Has not been used yet.
Caity P.
Favorite carrier. To be honest, the minimal, stylish look is what drew me to this specific carrier but I’m super happy to say that the actual quality, safety, and comfort for my baby are also excellent! This carrier is now my favorite one. We have an ergo baby and other baby wraps but this is the one I reach for the most. I felt that this was best after my baby was about 2 months old. Before that, it felt like her legs were splayed too wide. I get so many compliments and people asking me about this carrier every time i wear it!
Roseanne R.
My baby loves this carrier! It’s so cozy and stylish. A must have!
Liz R.
We love this carrier! We use it ALL the time, for contact napping around the house, for quick trips to the store, and even took it on a vacation to Europe. Customer service is great too.
Jordan W.
Love my carrier! I’ve used a handful as I’m on my second baby, and this is the true winner!
Robyn G.
Best carrier ever!! Recommend to all mamas who want the cozy cuddles but freedom to get things done with BOTH hands!
Ricki M.
Soooo worth the money!!! Have only used a couple times so far but it passed the walking around Costco test which I feel is a big win and it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Kiersten B.
LOVE the Wildbird Aerial carrier! It’s beautiful and comfortable AND offers great support. My husband and I both love carrying our baby in this!
Yesica V.
The best baby carrier.
Jordan K.
Great quality and love the sleek look! My baby fits in it perfectly and is very happy when she’s in it! I can finally walk my dog and my baby at the same time!
Alexandra T.
Unfortunately I did not love this carrier! I am 5’ 7” and the straps hit the floor when putting it on. It is also VERY WARM and the straps are uncomfortable around the neck. I really wanted to love this carrier but I prefer something more efficient and comfortable!
Christine M.
I purchased this after being really dissatisfied with the carrier I had. Let me tell you, this carrier is worth the money! My son is NEVER uncomfortable in this thing. He usually falls asleep when he's in it because he feels snug and safe. I think it's really comfortable and can easily wear it for a few hours. It's also pretty easy to get your baby in and out of the carrier. My baby is only 2 months old and I've been using this for a month already.
Danielle W.
This carrier was my best purchase for baby #5! I’ve tried so many carriers and wraps through the years (and babies)- but I tell everyone this was worth every penny. I love the adjustable bottom for age and size! I haven’t tried the backpack carry yet (my babe is too small still), but we’ve LOVED the front carry. He’s taken naps with me or been content watching what’s going on around us, and his big sister even wore him the other day and he fell asleep while she cleaned her room.
My only “complaints” (if you can even call them that) are I wish it were machine washable rather than spot clean just for peace of mind. We haven’t gotten any stains on it so far, but I do get worried about that because with 5 kids it’s almost inevitable. The other thing I wish is that there was a carrying bag. I’ve rearranged my diaper bag to toss it in there but a little drawstring bag would be a dream. When we’re out with the stroller (or when in the airport traveling) I’ve found a way to clip it to the stroller, so that’s worked ok.
Natalie K.
Pretty and functional, my baby loves it!
Renee D.
So glad I splurged and got this carrier. Prior to this we were gifted the Ergo baby newborn carrier. Thet carrier was good when baby was 7 lbs, but now thet he is 12lbs we needed something sturdier but also lightweight! This is everything! So glad I purchased- will be gifting to all my close friends! Very easy to put on :)
Julia M.
Love our Aerial. Made a 17h flight so much easier. I can nurse her in the carrier now which is a win!
Kathy D.
I’ve tried multiple structured carriers and they all created discomfort somewhere, but mostly in my hips. I’ve not had any issues with this carrier and have comfortably worn it for hours. It’s easy and straightforward to put on. My husband also finds it incredibly comfortable and has been more comfortable wearing this than other carriers we have.
Mariah F.
What a great carrier! So aesthetically pleasing and easy to use! We love it!!!
Sarah Z.
Thoroughly enjoyed hiking up at Lake George shelving rock trail with my two month old daughter! with the help of the aerial buckle carrier she and I were both comfortable!
April G.
I really like this carrier for my 7 month old. However, there are a couple of things that I wish were different. The strap that wraps around your waist needs to be able to go smaller than it currently allows. Whenever I tighten it as far as it will go, it’s still a little loose. Also the buckles that wrap around the sides while wearing baby front facing, can dig into your babies arms if you aren’t careful. The first time I wore this carrier, my baby girl had her arms resting and pressing against the buckles and they created pressure spots on her arms. Thankfully I noticed and readjusted her, so know I just have to be mindful and check often to avoid damage to her skin.
Aniqua P.
Absolutely love this carrier! The color and fabric is perfect and structure feels so well made! I want one in every color now lol. As a shortie (4’11) it’s hard to find carriers that fit properly and still support my back well, I finally found it! Especially for c-section mamas, get this carrier!
Allie H.
I am obsessed with the Wildbird carrier! It's so easy and comfortable, plus I love the style. My baby girl seems to love it too. She's 5 months now and have been using it for a few months now. I recommend it to everyone!
Cortney C.
So much support! I have a bad back and a heavy baby and it doesn’t hurt my back
Rachele C.
We love!! This carrier is worth every penny. It’s cute, supportive and has been our life line since baby been born!
Chelsea L.
favorite carrier, by far!!
Trista L.
We love our Wildbird Aerial carrier! I purchased this for our first plane trip to FL after getting multiple recommendations on the comfort and ease of use and am so pleased! It has become my go-to carrier, it’s comfortable for long wear and not too hot. Can’t wait to try more from Wildbird!
Hunter C.
Great carrier. Easy to put on. Lightweight. 10/10
Lauren A.
Our little one absolutely loves our carrier! She loves being able to be close to me while still looking around. It feels much better on my back compared to another carrier that we have tried. My only complaint is that she sucks on the fabric leaving huge wet marks on the fabric (not sure if that’s the carrier positioning problem or my baby in general). But overall I am so happy with my purchase!!
Gabi
This carrier is just incredible! So easy to use, can put it on by myself with total confidence and is very comfy once on. It also fits my husband which is lovely. The material is soft and really great quality, and exactly as pictured. Could not recommend this product enough!
Becky L.
I’ve used other carriers and struggled getting them on and off. This carrier has been a breeze to use! Wish i would’ve bought it sooner! We use it daily!!
Carly M.
The most comfortable carrier ever!! The waist band that folds in is a game changer especially if you are short!
Caitlin L.
This carrier gives me so much support it hardly feels like I’m holding my baby. It also fits my baby so well and I have no worry that his legs are having too much pressure put on them like other carriers I have tried.
Gabrielle S.
I actually live in this carrier. My boy has been a "only naps in a sling" baby since he was born. Being 6 months old, he is too big for most carriers now. I use this every. single. day. Multiple times a day. Thinking about getting a second because I love it so much!

This is my third carrier. It is by far the comfiest and easiest for both me and my baby. Worth the price tag. I love the extra cuddle time it allows me with my baby :)
Jenni M.
The most comfortable carrier ever! So easy to put on and baby loves it!
Kate S.
Great!
Donna E.
Beautiful color and quality of fabric and construction. Love it!
Rachel P.
Seriously the best purchase I’ve made for my babe. Out of the million things they have you buy / this is it! He’s in it 4-6 hours a day - I can cook, clean, go for walks, get him to sleep in here in minutes…. I don’t leave the house without this!!!!
Such an amazing carrier and cute too!
Shailee P.
Baby is 3.5 mo and 13 lbs. After trying some of the best brands in baby carriers, and being not so happy, I landed onto wildbird. Both me and my baby love it. I take her on walks where she seemingly love it. It's her sleep machine I think. As soon as she is put in the carrier, she goes into the staring phase and sleeps in less than 5 min. I've tried many carriers, but she would always cry or seem uncomfortable in.
Wildbird does good to my shoulders and back. No back pain or shoulder pain. I wish it didn't ride up on my neck sometimes but I think I just need to pay attention while wearing it.
Stephanie P.
I love this carrier! It's quick and easy to wear by myself (without help from my husband). It's very comfortable and offers great support. I feel my baby is comfortable too. I love how the flap at the top can be worn in or out so my baby can look around. The single color pallete is so clean and modern looking. We love it so much we are buying a second one!
Samantha B.
This is the only carrier I can get my baby to be happy and sleep in on the go. I tried 4-5 others and this is it. We both love it so much. It’s so easy to adjust and put on by yourself, nothing bulky or getting in your way and it looks amazing.
Alyssa S.
Absolutely can’t live without! Amazingly intentional in every detail down to how you store and fold it.
Nichole S.
I could not wait to get my hands on the aerial carrier. As a second time mama I knew baby wearing was going to be convenient. Little did I know I would use this all day long for around the house and to run errands. My baby absolutely loves this carrier, and I appreciate how easy it is to get on and off. Perfect for a second time mom and baby who only wants to be held.
Tina B.
So easy to put on by yourself, love this carrier!
Kelsi V.
Really love this carried! I feel very supported when using it and my baby feels secure. I have no back pain unlike some other carriers I’ve tried! Also aesthetically the carrier is stunning and fashionable.
Natalie V.
This carrier truly is the best! I wish it was available when my son was born. I felt silly buying it since he’s older and was planning on waiting until my next baby. I have the Lille Baby all seasons carrier and it’s so bulky. I could never get it tight enough or comfortable. Decided to splurge and buy the Wildbird Aerial for a trip and I am so glad I did! It’s so easy to put on, comfortable, and you can sit in it!
My son is 25lbs and 32” tall and he’s still comfortable in the carrier. It distributes weight really well and doesn’t make my back or shoulders ache. Follow the tips in Wildbird’s Instagram videos to make sure you’re putting it on correctly…pulling the straps down before crossing your back really helps keep it off your neck.
I love how compact it folds up. I was able to easily store it in my bag for our plane trip. My son fell asleep in it so easily. I was able to put the carrier on while sitting on the plane with ease. I even put him in the carrier at a wedding with music blasting and he fell asleep! My next baby will live in this thing. The back carry is awesome too.
Erika B.
Simply the best! Buy this carrier and save your money on all the others…it’s the only way to survive, especially with other littles! I have 8 carriers and this is the only one I use now. Also the only carrier I can successfully nurse in! The cross shoulder straps are a life saver when wearing for a long time! The only carrier I’m telling friends to buy now!
Katie A.
Amazing! This is easily my most used baby item for my contact napper - I would never get anything done without it! So comfortable and easy to take on/off
Irene S.
Love this carrier so much! Its so comfy and makes it easy to be hands free with my other kids. Ive tried many carriers and this is hands down the best!
Kelsea H.
My baby loves this carrier! I just wish I would’ve bought it sooner, it’s been so great to have. He’s 20 lbs now and it’s still so comfortable to wear him in it, and has great support. Highly recommend!
Stevi H.
My baby is currently teething and is extra fussy/clingy .. this is the only thing that settles him. He loves his carrier!! Mommy does too!!
Kathleen M.
The material and color is beautiful and overall I really like the design. It’s also super padded for both me and baby and distributed the weight over my back really well. Baby was comfy in it and I really thought it might be my holy grail carrier. However, after owning it for over 4 months I find I rarely reach for it, and prefer other carriers. The reason is the sizing. I followed the suggestion on the Wildbird instagram: “Aerial sizing tip: if you fit both sizes we 100% recommend sizing up! So much comfier and also yay extra padding!”
I found this to be terrible advice. I can fit into both so i ordered up. The problem is that to get a snug and supportive fit i have to tighten the waist belt all the way. Then I end up with the back panel of fabric all bunched up on my back, and miles of loose tail straps, both from the waist and shoulder straps. By the time I realized how irritating this was I had taken the tags off and worn it so couldn’t return. Lesson learned to beware of the sizing suggestions and probably wouldn’t recommend an aerial carrier unless you are 100% sure of the sizing or try it and return if it doesn’t work.
Brianny N.
Working with their customer service department is great! Kirstine is the person who assisted me with my exchange of product and she was wonderful! I enjoy Wildbird products and their employees so much!! I am going to be a repeat customer and continue to purchase the Ariel carrier for friends and family who are expecting a little Birdy of their own!
Patricia L.
Buying a second one we love it
Jessica M.
Absolutely loving our new carrier! We’ve tried several and this one is by far the most comfortable on my back. Can’t wait to baby wear all summer without getting too hot!
Senta G.
The only way I can get things done, especially in the mornings chasing my toddler around getting her ready.
Brianna M.
Perfect for moms and dads! We are now more confident as first time parents to get out and about!
Selene M.
I love the carrier, before this I tried anothers and I don’t like them. This carrie is so easy to use.
Susan B.
I love how this carrier is easy to put on, and adjust. It’s cute. I love the earthy colors. It’s comfortable and not too bulky. It’s a 10/10!
Amanda S.
This carrier has been such a lifesaver as a mom of 3! So comfortable and my baby falls asleep as soon as I put him in it
Jessica N.
We love it! So easy to adjust and it’s so comfortable. Love the color and style too.
Jennifer H.
Love this carrier! I have a toddler who has lots of activities so I need to babywear to bring sister along. This is the perfect amount of structure and snuggle. I've gotten so many compliments on the linen fabric and color.
Megan J.
Must have as a Mama of two! The aerial carrier is so comfortable and sturdy. Baby loves it too!
Yesenia H.
So so so happy with this carrier. It’s so comfy for long walk!
Marielle H.
First time using it in DC for a festival and it was perfect !
Avery B.
This is my third baby and I’ve tried many structured carriers. Nothing compares to this!
SO easy to adjust the snaps inside for the width you need for baby’s size and buckling it on takes me no more than a minute. When you have a screaming baby you know the stress adds up while you’re trying to fool with a carrier. The last thing you need is one you have to fool around with for 5 minutes. Not to mention it’s super comfortable and doesn’t kill my back even after an hour or so of wearing him. And it’s super stylish - I get so many compliments on the color. 10/10 would recommend! Wish I had known about this with my first baby!
Nicole A.
Just switched to the Wildbird Aerial carrier after eyeing it up for weeks. It's simple to use, not bulky, and I love the minimal design, linen fabric and dreamy colors it comes in - v aesthetically pleasing! My baby loves it too :)
Emily M.
I absolutely love this carrier. If my budget were bigger I would for sure buy every color
Robyn G.
The best carrier I’ve tried! Wish I had bought one from day one with baby!
Emily E.
I love this carrier, and so does my baby - he takes the best naps in here! And unlike other carriers I’ve tried, this one doesn’t hurt my back. It’s easy to get on and off by myself, too, and adjust it on the go for different wearers. The only minor issue for me is that the straps tend to ride into my neck/up my back - but it hasn’t seemed to affect me yet.
Also, it looks great, and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on how it looks.
Mallory B.
Finally a carrier that is so simple to wear & can be put on by myself! I wish it had been around for my first two babies. I recommend this carrier to everyone!!
Kaitlyn K.
Best carrier I have ever used!!!! So much back support and she loves taking contact naps!!!
Hannah B.
This carrier has been a nap time game changer! Our little lady used to wake up after 30-45 minutes. Now she naps for close to 2 hours in her carrier.
Kelsey C.
I was never a baby carrier fan with my first because I couldn’t figure any carriers out and I tried several. With my second, I NEEDED to figure it out so I could parent both easily at the same time. I am so glad I took the plunge and got an Aerial because it’s ridiculously easy for a complete beginner and simple to go back and forth with sizing between my husband and I. My only regret is not getting it years ago.
Eden S.
My arial is perfect! Light, easy to put on but still so supportive.
Erin A.
This changed the game! We traveled with our two month old on a plane and she didn’t wake up the entire time while in the carrier. It’s the perfect blend of structure and comfort. The only thing that would make it better is a pocket to stick things like a pacifier in.
Rhona T.
I had a different kind of carrier before that my sweet girl hated and she LOVES being in the aerial. My back is also in no pain, which is great. She feels secure and I can move freely. Also the fabric is so nice I still can’t get over it
Kim
An absolute must for families with 2 under 2! We use this carrier multiple times a day and have no idea how we would survive without it. I was hesitant to purchase because of the price and because we already had several carriers from our first baby. The aerial is SO much better than any other carriers we have tried. We love that it’s versatile for multiple sizes. I’m 5’ tall and my husband is 6’6 (but skinny) and we both can wear the original size comfortably. If you’re on the fence - buy it!!
Haley K.
Love this carrier so much. It’s so easy for casual wear, on the go, and around the house. So much more comfortable than the other carriers I have. You will not regret your purchase!
Bri H.
Love it! So easy to use and comfortable. Wore it into my local baby store and all the employees were asking out it!
Jacie E.
The best carrier! So comfy for me and my baby, and superrrrr easy to put him in it by myself. Worth the price! Love it!!!
Lauren B.
This is my fourth carrier I’ve tried and the only one my son likes! It’s so comfortable and easy to use!
Lauren P.
I love this carrier! It supports my back much more than other carries I’ve tried which issue a big deal for me! It’s also so comfy and cute. It’s not quite as quick to put on as other carriers and I wish it had an option to face baby forward. But overall this is my favorite carrier I’ve tried. Definitely recommend.
Alex G.
I loved the carrier. I want to buy a second in another color! My husband loved it too. Baby feels secure and they’re very minimalist. Also they’re hip friendly!
Rachel W.
We absolutely love our wildbird carrier! I have tried so many others and this is so supportive and my baby girl loves it!
Victoria A.
We absolutely love our new carrier!! I feel like there’s so much more support compared to my previous one and he is also more comfortable!
Kelly W.
We love our aerial carrier in willow! It’s so cozy right out of the box, and the color is gorgeous!
Tobie S.
I love my wild bird and so does my baby!
Josie U.
Took a few weeks for my newborn to warm up to a carrier that wasn’t our fabric wrap. But once she decided she liked it, we have been using it daily. Its easy to put on, and comfortable for both of us. I feel much safer with her in this for walking outside and with the dog as well. Its worth the money for peace of mind she’s not slipping out or slowly falling down my chest as she would after an hour or so in our other wrap.
Jillian L.
Love this carrier! The color and fabric are amazing, but the best part is it takes a lot of the pressure off your body and I no longer have backaches like with other carriers. Plus it's a IHDI Hip Healthy approved carrier! I love the adjustment from newborn to toddler, and a 35 lb weight limit means I will be able to use my Aerial for a long time!
Mikala B.
absolutely love this carrier! holds my baby so good & don’t feel like he’s falling. so glad i finally purchased one!
Kelsie A.
Wish I had bought it sooner, the best carrier!
