Even though we’re nearing the end of our baby carrier days, I just can’t help but love on LÍLLÉbaby’s new line of Complete Embossed carriers.
It has all the features you know and love in LÍLLÉbaby’s Complete carriers but in light and breathable microcloth, ultra soft suedecloth inside, and gorgeous embossed detailing all along the front. It’s available in blue, citrus, coral, and my fave, this gorgeous teal!
Here’s a quick summary of the features you can expect to find in every LÍLLÉbaby Complete carrier:
- Six ergonomic carrying positions without the need for an infant insert: front-fetal, front-infant, front-outward, front-toddler, hip, and back carry. The Complete grows with your child from 7 lbs to 45 lbs.
- Removable lumbar support increases comfort, maintains healthy posture and alignment, and prevents lower back strain.
- Two-way straps enable you to carry “backpack style” or with straps crossed in the back. Dual adjustment buckles simplify breastfeeding and adjusting straps on the go.
- Removable sleeping hood with dual adjustment points to provide support for baby’s head while sleeping, sun protection, and privacy while nursing.
- Extra tall and entendable torso provides extra neck and back support and keeps taller babies secure in the carrier. The adjustable width gently cradles baby’s head, and elastic straps provide support while allowing for movement and easy adjustment.
- Large zippered storage pocket, plus easy-reach pocket for storing hood and essentials.
- Wide, padded shoulder straps and waist belt to evenly distribute baby’s weight for maximized comfort.
I love the wide seat that fully supports even my 3-year-old and keeps her legs in the proper position. The extendable high back works well to keep her feeling secure, especially in a back carry. The removable lumbar support makes a big difference in wearability, especially for older toddlers. At 3 years old and 33 pounds, Kay was comfortable to wear for up to about 30 minutes on my front and at least an hour and a half on my back.
We tried the hip carry, but at Kay’s age, the off balance weight became uncomfortable for me and pulled at my neck after just a little while. Kay didn’t mind it at all though, as her position is similar to how I would naturally carry her on my hip without a carrier. This carry would work better for smaller, lighter babies.
Be aware that if you want to switch between front/back and hip carrying, you will need to rethread the straps each time. In general it’s not a practical set up for us, but if you do like to hip carry, the straps do a great job of keeping Kay in place and feeling secure hands-free.
6 positions make this a wonderfully versatile carrier, but it’s the little things that make it truly a joy to use. Like how the inside is lined with super soft suedecloth against baby’s skin, and how it’s made so that the suedecloth overlaps the edges of the seat so they never cut into your baby’s legs. How it comes complete with a removable lumbar support pad to maintain posture and prevent lower back strain, and how you can store the hood in the pocket below or remove it entirely if you choose.
There are little “pockets” on the shoulder straps to tuck the webbing away when I’m not using it, giving them a neat and streamlined appearance. The little padded cushion underneath the chest/back buckle protects my skin from the buckle digging in, and the convenient zippered pocket keeps my phone, keys, and wallet safe and secure.
The Complete carrier grows with your baby from 7-45 pounds, without an infant insert. The height of the back adjusts up and down with snaps on either side, and you can adjust the width of the seat for smaller babies or for facing out.
The wide, padded waist belt is adustable up to about 52″. The shoulder straps are padded all the way down to the carrier panel and adjust two ways, making it simple to get a comfortable fit for me and Kay.
One of my favourite things about this carrier is that it’s machine washable! Busy mamas ain’t got time for handwashing and spotwashing everything, especially an item that babies will inevitably drool all over, spit up on, and have those dreaded blowouts in. And of course, no review would be complete without a close-up of this beautiful embroidery down the entire front panel that gives the carrier its distinctive embossed appearance. I love it!
The LÍLLÉbaby Complete Embossed retails for $169.99 USD. Connect with LÍLLÉbaby on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Well said. Love my embossed!
i love everything about this carrier. back support and thick padding looks great compared to other carriers, and i love the colours and fabrics available!
Love our lille! It has been so comfortable to wear throughout pregnancy! I am hoping to get an embossed citrus so I can tandem wear when baby girl arrives in February
Great review. Love the removable lumbar support. Baby looks happy.
Thank you for explaining the features.
I love the option for flipping up or down the high back!
These LÍLLÉBABY CARRIERS look amazing it looks like they thought of everything when they made these from neck support to different positions of carrying them also from new born to 2 year old could fit with the adjustable straps. perfect for mothers who breast feed as well as pockets forextra Items i had 4 children and these didn’t exist this defiantly would have been a great help love the colors also.
I’ve been looking into buying one of these! Thank you for the review, and it pretty made up my mind that I want one bad! And the design is so pretty!
We have airflow but I would LOVE an embossed for the winter months! It’s an amazing carrier!
These look beautiful. I especially like the idea of the sleeping hood to support the baby’s head while dozing. Carriers are great for naps!
I was JUST telling my husband we need a carrier with a pocket! We have a Stokke, and I am forever shoving things in my shirt when I wear my son…need that pocket!
So nice to see more stylish and versatile options for carriers! Love the bright color, it’s more of an accessory that you would love wearing and get compliments on than the standard boring carriers out there.
I love how versatile this carrier is. Thanks for the review!
This carrier looks awesome. I would love to get one.
i like that its easy to use and very comfortable for the baby to be in it. i like that the air passage is open and the strap is adjustable to the baby’s needs.
The adjustable seat width and options for 6 different carries is seriously amazing! I didn’t know I needed it until now LOL
Thanks for explaining how to change the carrier for different positions! The pictures are super helpful 🙂
This is a wonderful review! One of the main reasons I decided it was the carrier for me! 🙂
The Complete All-Seasons Tokidoki is the one I have my heart set on!
Love the color of the Lille! Your LO looks pretty content in it too. I am saving for a Lille and cannot wait to get one.
The complete Airflow in Mist Grey is the Lille I have been eyeing.
I love love love my LÍLLÉbaby Carrier! So versatile and long-lasting–ours is now being used on our third babe 🙂
This has been our go-to carrier for a couple years now. I recommend them to all be first time parents (and second, third, or more timers). It’s the only carrier I could comfortably use for the first month and a half after my second was born.
Thank you for this extensive review. It’s the best that I’ve read on Lillebaby. Already a Lillebaby fan and would love to win the giveaway! Our family will have 3 babies under 3 by early December so this carrier will be SO helpful! Thank you!
We loooooove lillebaby! No other carrier quite like it!
I love the all seasons.
I have been looking for a carrier for my toddler. I might need this one! I also love the color.
Love that the weight range is real high cuz i have a chunky monkey!
I saw one ‘in the wild’ today and I had to stop the mama so I could see it. And she insisted I touch it! Lol. I can not wait to get a citrus for new baby!
Minorly (okay majorly) obsessed with LilleBaby. Their colors are stunning and they’re the only carrier I’ve found with every feature this neurotic mom needs!
Such a gorgeous carrier that I would love to get my hands on!
That is a beautiful carrier! Thank you for a thorough review. I’ve been going back and forth on one of these or a new Ergo but I think you’ve made up my mind. I mean, machine washable? Awesome!
I love my teal embossed! It is so light & cool.
I want!!! these are beautiful
Love this look! It is sooooo pretty! Lillebaby is such a comfy carrier.
I had no idea you could adjust the seat width! This will make it so much easier to swap the use between my 3 yr old and 4 month old. Thanks for such a detailed review!
This looks like an amazing baby carrier! I would really like to get one of these!
Love these carriers!
Great thorough review and photos. I love that the carrier is machine washable.
I’ve not tried a Lillebaby yet, but after reading this I’m pretty sure I need one! I love how the seat width and the height of the carrier are both adjustable! I carry both my 2 year old daughter and 4 year old son, and right now have been carrying the 4 month old I’ve been babysitting. This would work for all 3!
I think babywearing is a wonderful way to bond with our children and keep them calm when they are upset or tired. Thank you, for the opportunity and the giveaway.
We carry LilleBaby carriers at a local shop and they’re so cute. And it’s very nice that you can use then thru a toddler and with a side carry.
The embossed design is so beautiful! I read so many good reviews about this carrier and what I especially like is the lumbar support. I’ve been wanting to get one! 🙂
Thanks so much for the review!!!! I was debating between an all seasons and an embossed and now my mind is made up /-) Hopefully my newborn babe is a fan!!!
This is such a gorgeous carrier. And all the features are so amazing. I especially love how wide the seat is, it really makes it great wearing larger babies and children. Thank you for a great in depth review!
Expecting baby number two in april and am researching baby wearing, our 1st baby was a preemie and although I never had a carrier with her I feel like it would have been amazing for bonding and for keeping prying fingers off my little one with a weak immune system, due to her, I am wary of people wanting to touch my newborns and feel like a carrier would help remedy some of that along with making easier to get around with two little ones then trying to haul and infant carseat and a toddler everywhere!
This would be an awesome carrier to have. Love everything about it.
I love that there are so many different carries that can be done in this! I have an Organic Complete and LOVE it. But the Embossed colors are gorgeous!
I love that it has 6 positions and can go up to toddler age.
I am in love with my embossed Lillebaby carrier. We have a baby due is just a few weeks, and have our Lillebaby ready for her arrival. I love all of the carrying options, and that the carrier is ergonomic.
