Is forward-facing an ergonomic position for baby to be carried?

Yes, unlike many carriers available on the market, the Ergobaby Omni 360 baby carrier is not a 'narrow base carrier', including in the forward-facing position. The Ergobaby Omni 360 Carrier ensures that babies are seated in an ergonomic, 'M'-shape position in all carry positions, including when facing out. The adjustable bucket seat has been designed to carry baby ergonomically and comfortably with knees even to hips, and a rounded spine, regardless of the carry position. The child's pelvis is gently tipped forward when placed into the carrier, so that the child's upper spine makes contact with the parent's body along its full surface, which supports the physiology of a baby's slightly rounded back.
