The Ergobaby Omni Classic is the original Omni model, the Omni Breeze, Dream and Deluxe all came later and added particular improvements to the design or additional features. While I assumed this model would ultimately be phased out Ergobaby have decided to keep it on as a slightly cheaper alternative. For most parents I would say you are likely to get a better fit with the Omni Breeze, Dream or Deluxe because this carrier is quite a bit more bulky, some parents - particularly those with larger frames - don't notice the bulk as much. It is also worth bearing in mind that the safety lock buckles on this model are a little more delicate and prone to snapping than on the later models (but actually easier to use one handed).
