Description

The Evenflo® Breathable Carrier is a great way to keep a close bond with baby while you get stuff done. For use with babies 7 to 26 lb., this infant carrier offers two carrying options to position your child facing inward for close, personal interactions; or outward to see the world when your baby can hold her head and neck unassisted. The vented mesh fabric allows air to flow through keeping you and baby cool on your daily outings.

And there’s no complicated tying! It’s baby wearing made simple. This soft baby carrier offers a safe and convenient single side-entry that sits baby comfortably and securely. The patented adjustable crisscross back strap design distributes your child's weight evenly across your back and shoulders for comfortable wearing. Plus, the Breathable Carrier features a little extra padding in the places that count, like in the shoulder pads for parents and in the head support to cradle baby’s precious head.

Additional features include a front clip for toys, a pocket for personal items, and a removable bib to catch drool and keep the carrier clean. The Breathable Carrier is machine-washable for easy care.

Had to try this
January 22, 2022
Had to try this with my second child. However, it was not what I expected. I see it has or have worked for so many mommies even daddies. But it was not for me.

Comfy hands free carrier
July 21, 2020
We love it for our newborn. He is 6 weeks old now and it is easy to get him in and out of carrier. The carrier is lightweight and comfortable to wear with padded straps and seat.. Both mom and dad as well as grandma use it. Mom can even nurse while baby is in carrier if necessary.

I got this carrier because of the brand and the color, designs little though I know it would become my life saver in the initial months of carrying my girl.
It was so easy to put on and off and my baby was all comfy in it.

Good for small babies
February 4, 2020
Was looking forward to enjoying this baby carrier, however, my son was too big to fit in this carrier very comfortably. I was able to get him in it, with assistance, but he wasn't interested in sitting in it very long, as opposed to other carriers that better accommodated him. His legs seemed to hang straight down, rather than in the recommended M position.

I did try this on a younger baby and the fit seemed much more comfortable. Unfortunately, regardless of the size of the baby, there isn't much padding or support for the baby wearing parent. Puts strain on your back and neck fairly quickly.

Breathable Carrier
January 27, 2020
We LOVE this carrier. The unique crisscross back design is a game changer for taking the pressure off my lower back. My son is short but chunky so his weight is evenly distributed across my upper back instead of my lower back and shoulders. I loved it so much I bought my friend one for her baby shower. She loves the fashion.

Comfortable carrier, but my child was not a fan!
January 26, 2020
The first thing I noticed about this carrier was how comfortable it was! The shoulder straps are padded and it is very lightweight by itself. It took me a few tries to learn how to open and close the latch system on the side, but it was easy once I got the hang of it. The biggest problem was my child does not like to be in a carrier, even forward facing!! I guess she feels restricted, but I ended up not being able to use this product much because of that reason. Maybe our next child will like it!

Light weight, not too structured very comfortable
January 24, 2020
I have lots of carriers and this is my favorite because it's the perfect amount of structure and flexible. Super comfortable for both my son and I. I love the breathable fabric and how I don't get over heated wearing him.

Easy to Use
January 24, 2020
As a preface, I have a number of different structured carriers (Lillebaby, Kinderpack) and so far this one is the least bulky of them all. The fabric is light and the overall footprint of the carrier is small. After the initial reading of the instructions and familiarizing myself with the carrier, my 6- month old and I used it around the house and then on a few outings.
Pros: lightweight, easy to clean, small/ compact, good airflow, feels supportive in the standard infant facing body carry position
Cons: the quick release tab for opening the carrying area is fiddly. I had problems trying to get it undone only when the child was in the carrier. When it was an empty carrier there were no issues at all. Carrying in the face-forward position for my 6-month old did not feel supportive and she had trouble keeping her head above the carrier front panel. (She is in the bottom 1% of growth charts, so please take that into account.)

Overall, this is a good budget structured carrier that I definitely would recommend. It's safe, can be used in multiple carry positions, and is light. I like it and now keep it in my car as my backup carrier.

Comfy to wear!
January 17, 2020
Product is well made. My baby is now 16lbs and it completely supports her. She seems to be comfortable and content while in it. She falls asleep sometimes. She also tends to overheat and the material is breathable, unlike other brands so she doesn't get sweaty. Also I love the pink color!

Easy on the shoulders
January 6, 2020
I received this carrier as a gift and I love it. The design of the shoulder straps helps reduce the strain on my shoulders and neck which is such a relief. It's also a great size for traveling as it folds up nicely. It's very breathable and I don't get nearly as hot wearing it as I do with my other carrier. It also provides great support for baby.

Good design
January 2, 2020
The design of the product is great but being a plus size mother and 6 ft y'all the straps do not extend far enough to allow the carrier to hang low. When used with the infant in the carrier the baby's head is under my chin which isn't comfortable for either of us. The design is great compared to other carriers I used just need the straps to be a little longer.

Mixed Feelings
December 18, 2019
I used the Marianna II for the first time this morning to walk with my daughter to daycare. It is very light, which is great. However, it is very hard to adjust and maneuver if you are solo. I had challenges getting it tight enough so that she was not hanging down low. The side fastener especially is tough to close when you have a wiggly baby. Upon arriving at daycare I had to get help getting her out! Will try it again and provide an update if I find it any easier.

This product was provided to me for free in exchange for my honest review.

Comfortable Carrier- Just like a Mom's Hug
December 17, 2019
As a Dad of two boys now, I'm always on the go. This carrier allows me to safely and securely carry my newest baby while keeping up with a toddler. The carrier is comfortable for baby and myself. I feel like it hugs my baby the perfect amount and is almost like a mother's hug. The area by the legs is soft and flexible allowing for a great fit for baby as it's not too snug or too
loose. The color is very neutral and I walk confidently around in public wearing this style. I enjoy the criss cross on the back as it adds extra upper back support. I am happy to report getting baby in and out is a breeze with a quick slide and quick snap of the clip. I give this carrier a 5 star review.

Amazing Baby Carrier
December 14, 2019
I love this carrier is is very light weight, easy to use for me and my 12 year old daughter.
I love the bib and my baby likes that is adjustable so she can see out or be facing me.
The carrier distributes the weight so my neck does not hurt. I have to say this is my favorite carrier I have ever used. You can easily spot clean it too.

Comfortable and functional
December 13, 2019
My wife and I got this for our five month old. After a little resistance from him initially he settled in. The straps are easy to use and comfortable. The gray is neutral so either me or my wife can use it. It's nice having our hands back when either one of us goes out alone. Overall it's a great value and a worthy buy.

Not impressed
December 12, 2019
I was disappointed with this product, as I have a lot of evenflo products and this was just not up to par. My daughter is 4mo old, 11lbs. This carrier does not feel lightweight, and when carrying her pulls hard on your shoulders and not well balanced. It does have breathable fabric, but felt very hot. Both myself and husband wore this, and equally felt uncomfortable.

Good Carrier
December 12, 2019
After two long uses I was pretty happy with this product. Before taking it out the first time pre fitted it to baby and me. It is easy to adjust by pulling the two side clips. The only piece that takes a little practice to get the hang of is the large side clasp. Getting that off wasn't easy the first couple of times. After wearing baby and walking around in a store for an hour I will say it was getting a little tiring on my back making me pull on the side tabs to keep pulling baby up higher. Over all I think it's a good product that will last. It is strong a sturdy.

Great product for the price
December 11, 2019
This is a great product for a great price! There are many things I enjoy about this carrier and it is wonderful to have for everyday use.
PROS:
-Very easy and quick to put on myself and put baby in. There are few straps which is a perk. This carrier is my best friend when I need to go to grocery shopping or to the library.
-Lightweight and breathable. I don't feel like I'm having a heat stroke when wearing this carrier compared to some wraps which can feel like wearing an extra layer.
-Easy access front pocket. The front pocket is in a great location and large enough to store a phone or keys in.
-Machine washable detachable bib! The detachable bib saves me a lot of effort when having to clean the carrier of slobber or spit up.
-Great price!
CONS:
-There is a lot of pressure put on the shoulders instead of on the waist with this carrier. While I love this carrier for quick trips, I would not use it for a trip to the zoo or a hike.

So easy and comfortable
December 10, 2019
This is one of the easiest baby carriers I've used. Not only is it so easy to put on, it's so easy for the baby to get into. The only issue is that all the baby's weight is supported on the user's shoulders. I can see that getting cumbersome with long uses.
Either way, my baby and myself were comfortable for the hour long walk we took in it. We also used it at the zoo. This is a safe and easy carrier!

Great baby carrier
December 10, 2019
Excellent baby carrier!! I love the pattern and the material- in the summer it will be super breathable! Perfect for the Minnesota summer! I do have another carrier, different brand, I like how this one you can lay the front down to put baby in then lift baby towards you and snap in the front rather than clipping it in the back- not super easy to do by yourself. So hands down this is way better!!

Comfy for kiddo and mama!
December 10, 2019
I've really enjoyed using this carrier! It's the comfiest carrier I've used yet- all of them eventually start to ache your back but this one has provided me with the least amount of strain. I like that the material is soft and giving, rather than super stiff. However, this does allow baby to swing a little more than if it were more sturdy. My kiddo is 9 months so he doesn't mind a little bouncing here and there, but if you're trying to get a little one to sleep it might not allow them the peace to do so.
It also comes with a little removable drool mat which is a nice feature but it's a little wonky in its placement. I felt like it was just crowding my baby's mouth but maybe I'm just not putting it on correctly.
Lastly, the only real issue I have is the tightening of the adjustment straps. It shows in the instructions to pull straight out from your sides but no matter what angle I try it isn't an easy pull. I wish that was a gliding motion so I could more easily adjust baby's positioning.
All in all, I like the look and feel and my baby is comfortable! I recommend it, for sure.

Very comfortable!
December 9, 2019
This carrier was perfect as my daughter got big enough to realize there was a lot going on around her, and she didn't want to miss a thing! It's comfortable for her, and me! It's supportive and doesn't have clips under the arm which I found in a LOT of forward facing carriers, I specifically looked for carriers shaped like this one. Very happy with this product and will definitely be recommending to all my momma friends. I use it mostly forward facing but you can have the baby face you as well, another huge plus is it's super light weight and I can roll it up and keep it in my car! Just another great evenflo product.

Didn't work for us
December 9, 2019
I received this carrier for free in exchange for my honest review and was not compensated.

I wouldn't recommend this carrier. It might work for a smaller newborn, but it was no match for my 8-month-old & 21 lb. baby. Weight isn't evenly distributed with this carrier, so it's not a comfortable experience for the parent. The side attachment straps seemed flimsy and the leg clip was very difficult to attach.

On the pro side: I really like the color way, and appreciated the velcro drool bib.

Best carrier to date!
December 9, 2019
This carrier is the best carrier I've tried thus far! It is super plush and stylish. It is very comfortable for both baby and adult wearing baby. The straps are very soft and have a lot of padding to keep carrying your baby easy. The color is very versatile. I love that my baby can face out to see the passing world or cuddle close for naps on the go. The detachable bib is a great feature especially when you have a teething baby on your hands! This carrier is breathable and will help your little one stay regulated as they are being worn. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend This Product
December 8, 2019
We love this EvenFlo Breathable Carrier! It was easy to put our little one in and take him out unlike our previous carriers. You just unlock and unsnap the locks on the side, Open it up, and move the baby inside. Also I could go hands free which is something I had a hard time doing with the other carriers. It always felt like my little one was going bottom out so I could never be totally hands free but now I can!! He loved it which is a major plus too. Compared to the other carriers which he would scream and cry when I put him into them... With this breathable Carrier he didn't get too hot and he was comfortable the whole time playing and cooing. I love this carrier and would highly recommend it to other moms and dads out there!!!!

Practical carrier
December 8, 2019
Let me start off by saying i needed this when my baby was a newborn. My baby is now 8 months old and around 19 lb. When i put him inside the carrier facing me he seemed to relax right away and enjoy being inside. (This says a lot since hes very skwirmy and likes to be on the floor). Overall the carrier felt comfortable and evenly distributed his weight. He felt secure and snug. After some time i faced him the other way and while he seemed to enjoy himself also, it did put some strain on my back since he is a big baby and was leaning forward.
I wish i would have had a carrier earlier. My baby was extremely colicky and i think we both would have benefited from such a product. I would def recommend this to parents of babies who are traveling or babies who love being held (and demand so:) )

Good for the Price
December 8, 2019
This carrier is cute, and it works ok, but there are definitely options out there that are more comfortable to wear and easier to get babies in and out of. By myself, I struggled to get this carrier adjusted and my son in it. It wasn't uncomfortable to wear for a short period, but it definitely got uncomfortable around my shoulders. It would be great to have if I were in a bind, but I know there are many other carriers out there, I have several others, that are far more comfortable and functional. Long story short, save your money and buy something else that's better quality. If you can't, this carrier is sturdy enough to get by with, but I was unimpressed.

Nice carrier..... but not for plus size mom
December 8, 2019
Love this carrier's look and feel, it is well made and cute too. But as a plus size momma with a chunk of a baby it just didn't fit us well. We could use it for short periods but the straps just did not seem to sit in the right places to be comfortable for me and after about 20 min it was leaving marks on my baby's chunky legs. I loved that my 9 month old could face in if she was sleepy or out so she could look around. This carrier also had a detachable bib to make cleaning a snap. Overall it is a nice product just didn't enjoy the fit.

December 7, 2019
I love the carrier! It is super cute and very easy to get baby in and out. My babe is 9 months and I felt like some extra support around the waist would only better the product. For smaller babies, this carrier would be perfect.

This Evenflo breathable carrier is very comfortable and easy to use. It is easy to do alone, just sit down and they are strapped in within minutes. This is lightweight and easy to put on when in hurry. We are using it for our 5 months old baby. He absolutely loves it and falls asleep in it. The pocket in front is perfect to put small things like keys and stuff. I also love that it comes with a removable bib, which is great for teething and drooling baby. Overall it is perfect.

Love My Marianna
November 15, 2019
I love my Evenflo Breath Carrier Marianna! I wish I had this with my other kiddos. It is perfect if you are on the go like I am. I am always either running errands, dropping off my other kids at games, making dinner, or doing work and this is perfect to keep my baby right next to me and she loves it too! It's has two carrying positions forward facing and back facing. The forward facing is perfect when they can't hold their little heads up that well-there is a nice soft backing and I love that they have more mommy or daddy contact forward facing too! As they get older you can have them face out and my baby girl loves it because she can see everything I am doing. The carrier is machine washable and comes with an removable bib in the front. I love the extra padding in the shoulder for us parents, it keeps my shoulders from hurting and allows me to carrier my daughter for longer periods of time. The crisscrossing also saves my back. The side buckle is such a lifesaver as well. Perfect quick way to get your baby out if he or she messes him or herself without having to take the carrier off. This is a great carrier and I love it! It was worth it and I would buy it over and over again.

Great affordable Carrier

Me and my baby girl love the Breathable Carrier. This carrier is easy to use and didn't have any issues figuring out how to use it for the first time. My daughter loves being in it and looks very comfortable. I like that the fabric moves the air through well so my daughter doesn't get overheated from the material. Comes in pretty colors too at a great price point. We are fans!

Makes cleaning with a baby a breeze
April 22, 2019
My daughter always seemed to need to be held when I was cleaning. The Evenflo breathable carrier was a life saver for me. It allowed me to get my cleaning done and comfort my baby at the same time. The colors are so cute and helped with any gender confusion while we were out (due to my daughters lack of hair). It is very affordable as well!
