Plus in general, most parents find their little one has outgrown the Embrace before they are ready to start exploring back carries anyway. Because the Embrace doesn’t have a chest strap and because it is made from stretchy material, it simply won’t feel as secure (nor be as secure) in a back carry compared to a carrier made from a non stretchy material and that has the chest strap for added security.

Again there is no back carry in the manual and Ergobaby don’t recommend this position for the Embrace. You’ll note I don’t show a back carry here. Thus once they are ready to move onto another bigger/longer lasting option they know whether it is worth investing in a more robust carrier that offers forward facing or whether they can cast a wider net and purchase something that doesn’t offer this position safe in the knowledge they wouldn’t really use it anway. That said however, it can be fun for a short period and parents do find it helpful to try forward facing and see how baby gets on with it. Plus as baby’s are often starting to grow out of this carrier by the time they are ready to forward face – I can’t help thinking offering it is a bit of a gimmick. But this is exacerbated in the Embrace because the stretchy material means baby pulls further way and thus puts proprotionally more strain on your back. Facing your baby away puts baby’s center of gravity away from you, so puts more strain on your back in any carrier. But it is worth noting that of all the positions shown here with the Embrace this one is the least comfortable for the wearer.
I beleive Ergo included it because market research showed at least 50% of parents won’t consider a carrier that doesn’t offer a forward facing position. The final position this carrier offers is the forward facing position.
