Super easy to put on and very comfy!

This review is longer than I intended, BUT I’ve had over a year with the aerial, so hopefully this is helpful!
My baby is now 14 months old and we have spent hours and hours and hours together with this carrier. With an older one running around, the aerial made it easy to keep my little one close, help him nap, and more. We have taken it on countless walks, we’ve traveled with it, we’ve hiked with it, we’ve breastfed on the go. I almost bought a second because we were using it so much (and my baby LOVED sucking on the straps…so I had to wash it a lot—it holds up so well!). It was great for naps on the go…although the flap for naps/privacy does nothing to help with head support once it’s not in the newborn/early baby mode of being tucked into the carrier. My baby’s head would kind of flop sometimes while he was asleep (he was fine) and I would tuck him back onto my chest. Now he is older and I’m using a ring sling more because he isn’t being carried for hours at a time/he always wants to see what’s I’m doing, so being on my hip makes that easier.
⭐️ The only reason why I’m taking off a star is because I really dislike back carrying with this. The wide, cushiony straps are amazing when front carrying, but they were uncomfortable to me in the back carry position. I have broad shoulders and yet, it was too bulky. I also don’t love how tricky it is to put baby on safely on the back. And, given the orientation of the buckles, you tighten them in a weird way to get baby secure in the back carrying position. 5 stars for front carrying!!!!! Probably 2 stars for back carrying. It works, but adjusting the straps for the different positions is a hassle and the other things I have mentioned, make it not worth it to me! I’ll still grab for this when I occasionally front carry, but reach for my ring sling for front/side carrying or the baby Bjorn for safe + easy back carrying instead. I’m really glad I had the wildbird, it was amazing for us, and I’m glad I have other options too.
HOT TIP for sleepy parents: there are FIVE snaps for adjusting the carrier in the waist belt and the inner most one for the newborn fit, is REALLY tucked away. I definitely had clipped it wrong at first because I couldn’t count five snaps when looking at the manual and thought I had it right…maybe get it snapped into position before the baby arrives
I’m almost done Three things that I wish would change about this carrier: 1. Better head support for naps for older babies. Snaps or something to keep the flap up, would be great. 2. Sun cover. I would use a light, breathable blanket and tuck it around him—which actually worked great for protecting his arms and legs from the sun too. 3. A pocket!!! I love the collab that Wildbird did where they made carriers with the zippered pocket (and the sun cover). Why isn’t that standard??!

Bought this as a baby shower gift

I absolutely love this carrier! I have one of the stretchy wraps and my baby was not a huge fan, often the pressure from the wrap would cause her to spit up as well. We have zero issues with that in this carrier since it is more structured. Super comfortable to wear for hours, I feel her weight evenly in my back instead of my shoulders. This is worth every penny!
Bekah D.
This carrier is so comfy for baby and me! I actually had another brand but saw my friends Wildbird and decided to go for it. It was definitely worth it!
Amanda K.
LOvE this carrier. So easy to put on and baby settles so easily on this carrier. The back support and padded straps make a huge difference for comfort
Megan C.
The carrier is very comfy except for the straps are too close to your neck and not as comfy as it would be if they were wider
Chelsea H.
Love it ! So comfy and easy to set up
Reed E.
I have been looking for a baby carrier that was easy to get on/off quickly, comfortable for me and baby, and not $400… This. Is. It. Bonus that it’s chic. I went from never using my other baby carrier, to reaching for my Wild Bird multiple times a day. Highly recommend.
Savannah
I love !!! So firm and durable. My back doesnt hurt anymore.
Erin N.
The most comfortable carrier that is perfect for every adventure!
Victoria C.
This is one of my most used baby items, so much so that I purchased a second one. I recommend it to all my friends, I love it so much. Even my husband uses it and likes it.
Terra M.
Great carrier, comfortable and easy to use. Versatile from newborn to toddler. I got a L-Xl but probably could of gotten the smaller size
Marisa M.
I absolutely love this carrier! It’s super comfortable and easy to use. Will be using this for a long time!
Daryn S.
Gorgeous color. Easy to use. Baby absolutely loves being in it.
Brittany L.
So comfy for me and my son! Way easier to get on than many other carriers
Richard S.
Perfect fit! Wish I had brought this earlier!
Jacob C.
Beautiful carrier! The fabric is high quality, the color is gorgeous, it’s easy to put on by yourself, and it’s sleek looking (last two were what I was looking for without the $300++ price point). I have two major complaints- I wish there were clips/snaps for when the flap is up so that it helps keep baby’s head against your chest (similar to the Babybjorn mini carrier). The lack of a cover for baby’s head feels like a design fail. The flap can easily have a zipper that hides fabric to cover baby’s head. I also wish you could carry baby facing out in this, but I knew that when I purchased. Overall, great product with room for improvement.
Debra B.
So beautifully made can’t wait for the grand baby to be in it
Madison G.
This carrier is light weight and stylish! The cross back is a little bulky and the linen material is a little more itchy at the neck than I would like. My 6 week has loved it so far and it makes napping on the go possible since we have to keep up with big brother. It isn’t as easy to put on as some of my other structured carriers with the straps being crossed but that’s the trade-off for a lighter carrier I think!
Jessica C.
The simplicity of this carrier is wonderful. I can put it in without help and have the confidence that my baby is secure and comfortable!
rachel f.
Love love love my aerial carrier! Used with my newborn all the way up to my 30-pound three year old on my back!
Monica S.
We live wildbird
Michael S.
I absolutely love the product material and design. The first one we received came with a broken waist buckle. We contacted support and we promptly were sent a new one.
Outstanding product, outstanding service, I recommend it!
Ashley C.
The fit for my petite frame works great!
Douglas B.
Exactly what we were looking for and very versatile!
Sarah H.
Super easy to exchange size online. Great customer service. Fast shipping. And comfy cozy carrier!
Alee E.
We love our WildBird Acadian - Aerial Carrier! It’s the best for all occasion even dancing on the dance floor at a wedding! Great customer service too. They sent a new carrier when one of my buckles had a crack. Highly recommend
Mikala C.
I had tried a few other popular carriers but they didn’t impress me. After some debating during a night feeding I decided to order this carrier and I’m so happy I did. It’s easy to use and very comfortable!
Shayla W.
The color is perfect!
Katherine F.
I love the carrier however wanted to write as there was 1 small issue. The waist buckle never clicked into place correctly. It would repeatedly unclick and loosen with the smallest of movement which made it virtually unusable. And extremely disappointing given the price.
Luckily my husband is handy and was able to file down the sides of the buckle so that it clicked into place properly and more importantly securely. It is now useable and I wear it daily with my little one.
Eric
This carrier exceeding my expectations! It’s so comfortable and I love how it gets baby’s legs in the perfect M position so that his hips are safe! Also, love love love that it’s plus size friendly. So glad I decided to go with the Wildbird!
Betsy
I love my WildBird!! It’s super comfy for me and baby! She instantly falls asleep as soon as I put her in! I also appreciate the size inclusion! Seeing someone who looks like me wearing one helped me make the decision to get one! Thanks wildbird!
Isabel
Absolutely LOVE this carrier! My baby lived in it and I suggest this product to everyone I know having a baby!
Keegan S.
Overall the carrier seems nice. I have a short torso and it doesn’t fit particularly well. My child also screams quite a bit while I work to adjust the carrier which he does not do in a ring sling or in my stretchy wrap both of which require more adjusting. For the price, I’ll keep trying with him as he grows but overall I would probably opt for a ring sling instead.
Skyeler A.
Watching the video I thought it was going to be complicated. I was just over thinking it and it was SO easy to put on!
Tim B.
I bought the carrier for my daughter and she LOVES it!
Terry Z.
Absolutely love this carrier and so does baby Nash.
Gabrielle R.
I’ve had ring slings for my first two babies, and absolutely loved them and can’t wait to use them for my third. But my mom just bought me the aerial and it is gorgeous, the details, and ease of use, I cannot wait. I’ve had carriers like this before but I’m just so impressed, all of the ads and reviews do not do it justice.
Lindsey M.
This is my 3rd baby - I’ve used every type of carrier in the book, and I can say without a doubt this is my favorite ! It’s my baby’s favorite too; she would scream and cry in every other carrier, but falls asleep almost instantly in her wildbird. Shes a Velcro baby too so this has been my saving grace.
Laura
Such a cute color, great fabric and SOOO comfy!
Regan S.
We love this carrier! We have a few carriers from different companies and find ourselves reaching for this one most often. The support the flap provides especially in those early weeks is a game changer. If you’re considering, go for it! You won’t regret it.
Haley C.
very easy to put on and place my baby in! I love how breathable it is in warmer weather!
Kristen V.
A must for two under two! For my first I had a different carrier that was more complicated to put on. I quickly realized it would not work for the quick on and off required with a baby and a toddler. This is also a game changer for nursing on the go.
Debbie S.
Love the carrier
Devinne G.
We love the carrier! It is so comfortable for both of us and easy to put on. So ready for many adventures with it!
Emilie C.
I love this baby carrier! It's comfortable to wear and for baby to snuggle in. It's breathable too! Easy to adjust and put on. I wear it alot!
Sara J.
I am OBSESSED with this carrier. Best one I’ve ever purchased. My baby loves it, and it’s super comfy to wear. 10/10!
Hope H.
Fantastic product and can’t wait to surprise my daughter-in-law with it! She coveted this for her new baby!!
Kara P.
I’m so happy I got this carrier! It has been a game changer for confidently getting out of the house with my toddler and newborn and lets me get things done around the house as well. It’s cute but also functional and SO easy to put on which is what brought me to buy this originally. I can also tandem carry this with my toddlers hiking backpack so that’s a big bonus!
Emilie C.
Great baby carrier. It is comfortable and easy to put on and take off!
Taryn C.
I got my WildBird carrier a few days ago and was so excited to try it out! (I have an artipoppe and lillebaby carrier and use them daily /multiple times daily) I really like where the waist band sits I do find it quite comfortable and easy to get a tight/comfortable fit. I do find my artipoppe a bit easier to put on but find this carrier equally if not more comfortable. My baby loves this carrier and will fall asleep easily/ stay asleep. I love the feel and style of the carrier it is so pretty!! Highly recommend, other things I like, the cutout is lower so it’s easier for my baby to look around which he loves. Also I like that you can flip up the top to use as a sun barrier it works really well for our daily walks!
Jessica P.
So amazing! Comfortable and versatile - I can't wait to cuddle my new babe in this carrier
Katie M.
My little bird loves his nest! He loves his morning nap, resting right on my chest. I love that both of my arms are free, too! And the added little head support flap makes such a difference! This is the only carrier I’ve used that fits me well (I’m 5’) and doesn’t hurt my back. I recommend it to everyone!
Lauren E.
I love the cross back support of this carrier. Between that and the nicely padded straps, my back is much happier than other carriers I’ve tried. My baby seems to feel cozy and comfy without getting overheated
Jeri B.
I saw one "in action" at a family wedding a few weeks ago, and was impressed with it. My youngest son is expecting his first child in another few weeks. I bought as a gift for them. So, it hasn't been used yet. However, I am very happy with the quality of the carrier, and expect them to get a lot of use out of it.
Alvaro D.
This is a really comfortable carrier, and the only one out baby likes!!! Great back support
Brenna N.
So comfy the first time I put it on! My daughter loved it and was content immediately when she’s previously disliked other carriers.
Tasha W.
This carrier is so supportive and comfortable. I’ve been using it for baby barre classes without issue for my back and shoulders. The fabric is high quality and the green color is true to the photos.
Kaitlin L.
Loved the fabric and the way my daughter sat in it, but the padded straps were too bulky and gave me knots in my lower neck/upper back. I watched a ton of videos to be sure I was wearing it properly, and I was- I just have a sensitive upper back/neck. I have the same issue with certain backpacks. Anyway, wanted to love the carrier and wish it worked me, but the thick straps just don’t work with my body.
Lauren R.
Best carrier ever, doesn't hold heat and very comfortable.
Marika J.
I purchased the Acadian in a XS-XL. I’ve been using the carrier everyday with my baby and I absolutely love it so much. It’s very lightweight and the material is wonderful. Wearing this has helped me so much with doing things around the house and going on walks with our dog. I highly recommend buying this. It’s spectacular even my husband wants to use it as well.
Nicole G.
Completely OBSESSED. As a professional nanny, I have tried just about every carrier on the market, but found that my daughter didn’t like any of my old favs… I got the wildbird after a friend raved about it, and it’s a game changer. My daughter LOVES it, it doesn’t hurt my back at all, the lower back support is ten times better than certain other popular fancy carriers. 10/10!!
Miranda F.
Came within good time, had very secure packaging that was also cute and looked just like the pictures!
Kristin R.
I really love this carrier. The design, structure, fabric, and ease of use are perfect. I have a newborn, a toddler, and two dogs at home, and often need to parent my toddler or walk the dogs while doing nap time with the little one. This carrier has become my most valued baby item.
I especially love the neck flap, since it provides added support and some coverage while my baby naps.
The only thing I think would make this carrier even better is a soft fabric lining on the inside. The seams of the neck flap and the seat where the legs hang out feel a bit rough. A soft fabric lining would make this even more comfortable and luxe for baby.
Sara M.
The wildbird aerial carrier has been amazing! Used nearly every day since purchasing, it’s been the go-to carrier for my now 2 month old. Super comfortable, easy and fast to put on (convenient when you have other kids needing attention), and my baby loves it. She’s had many naps in it and has also been able to nurse without coming out of the carrier. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a carrier that will be a daily staple.
Rebecca L.
Very happy with our purchase, just wishing I had it for our older kiddos!
My husband and I argue over who gets to babywear, what a good argument to have.
Danielle M.
Baby and I are loving it so far! The straps that criss cross in the back make it so much more comfortable than other carriers I’ve tried. Plus it’s adorable and beautiful quality.
Samantha
By far the easiest carrier to put on quickly and solo that I’ve tried! The material is soft on my skin and baby rests comfortably in it. Wish I had this with my first, but glad I splurged to get it for my second even though I already have a different popular carrier!
Paula
Best baby carrier! My son falls asleep as soon as I place him in the carrier.
Lora M.
Works great for my 4 week old! Perfect head support and light weight for summer.
Taylor Q.
My baby boy is happiest when he's in his carrier! We love our aerial!
Diana C.
It’s a beautiful carrier but my 3 week old (9+ lbs) screams every time I put him in it. Seems like the leg area is too wide even on the narrowest setting. Hoping it works for us when he’s bigger.
Jasmine R.
I was skeptical of linen (I’m probably in the minority but not a huge fan - most of the time it feels ‘scratchy’ ) but if all linen was as soft as this carrier, I would be converted! It is so soft! The only reason for 4 starts is the waste buckle: I’m not a fan of it needing to be looped through the plastic piece and brought around to buckle. Also, if you are a smaller waste it gets a little tricky to tighten all the way because there’s extra material bunching up in the back.
Amelia R.
Love this carrier. It is made well, feels good, my son enjoys it and I don't have trouble putting it on (I'm chunky.)
Stephanie K.
I love this carrier!
Hands down, it's the best purchase as a first-time mom. It’s beautiful, easy to wear, and breathable for upcoming warm days!
It’s so easy to put on and adjust; my husband and I can both wear without the hazard of spending aot of time fitting the straps.
I can’t say enough how much I’d love it! 10/10 recommend!
Jamey
Perfect material! Easy to use! Baby girl loves loves loves it!
Ashley
Love this carrier! By far top tier of them all! So comfy and so convent.
Jacy A.
This carrier has been a game changer for running errands! I was so nervous to get out and about after my son was born, but it had made it so much easier to be hands free! It sometimes is the only way I can get him to take a nap! Can’t wait to use it when we travel and in the airport later this summer!
Paola R.
Fits great, love the color and looking forward to wearing it all summer!
Christina M.
This carrier is the most comfortable out of all the ones I have. I love the X the straps make in the back and the stap connection under the arms doesn’t rub or poke. The fabric is beautiful and love the versatility of the support head flap.
Shellby M.
my daughter is 11 months old and loves this carrier just as much as I do. it is beautiful, functional, and comfy for her. I love that it works from newborn stage through toddler age!
Heather K.
This carrier works great for my 7 week old. He seems to be more comfortable in the one than some
Other brands I have. It’s easy to put on and offers nice back support without being too bulky. Looking forward to using this more as he grows!
megan s.
Comfiest carrier. And it’s LINEN. Could you get anything more breathable but also durable and machine washable?! My go-to carrier for everyday.
Shellby M.
we love our wild bird carrier! functional and beautiful.
Michelle
We love this carrier! Easy to use and comfy for the babe!
Marta K.
My baby absolutely loves going for walks in this carrier! And I find it super comfortable and easy to use!
Shelby J.
Haven’t used it yet… but after so many that I’ve tried on, this one is the comfiest! It was easy to put on and because I’m more petite, the straps don’t feel as big as some of the other brands. The color is also so cute! Can’t wait to see this next week.
Adrienne C.
We love this soft and supportive carrier! My baby calms down as soon as she is in it. It’s not hot at all and I feel like I could wear it for hours.
Nida K.
Great carrier! Easy to use solo. Love the comfort and ease. My baby loves it too
Martha V.
I bought this carrier for my daughter and son-in-law and they both absolutely love it!
Keri R.
Love it! Easy to use and beautiful.
Katie
I’ve had this carrier for about 8 months and have used it every single day and absolutely loved it. It’s the most comfortable carrier I’ve tried for front carrying. However, now that my baby is 10 months and 25+ lbs, he and I both prefer back carrying and sadly I find this carrier very uncomfortable for back carrying. The way you have to fold the extra strap fabric in makes the straps super bulky and they cut into my armpits no matter how I have the straps and buckle adjusted, so we’re moving on from this carrier. Also, for the price I feel like it should have a hood but it’s not a dealbreaker.
Isabel G.
Baby loved this, but hated solly and boppy wrap.
Emmy W.
It’s an okay carrier. I like the head support for when the little is sleeping but the material already has fraying in so many places when I’ve worn it once and I’m not sure the longevity of this without it looking rough.
Kassidy F.
Very helpful! Secure and feels like my baby is safe! I use while I’m folding clothes to doing dishes! With carrying my baby and guiding my kid and toddler this carrier is the answer! ♥️
Mariah P.
I got the green one and it’s a nice subtle color! very comfortable and easy to use! Not to mention makes carrying baby look like less of a chore and more me
