Didn’t take long to get used to it and we love it. Bubba can look over my shoulder and the carrier is so small, it can easily just be brought in my normal bag for ‘just in case’.
Kiki was so kind to order in the size/style carrier I wanted to try. The try before you buy option was incredibly helpful and easy to navigate.
Kiki also offered to help with making sure i was happy with how the carrier fit etc.
Every time I’ve ordered from (or interacted with) cloth and carry, Kiki has gone above and beyond and just made it the best experience.
The Onbuhimo is a fantastic carrier and just what our family needed!
Vibrant colour, quality material, very functional to use compared to front-carry, baby loves it while snacking on bread, babbling and looking around (baby is 9-10 months). It's tricky to get on initially (I use a sofa), or when in a park I might awkwardly lie on the ground on top of him - I'm working on that - but once on, baby doesn't tire easily. I'm not finding the tiredness issue on my shoulders as others reported, it might be because our walks are shorter (20 mins) and he's under 10kg at the moment. I much prefer this than having my shorts kicked down in the front carrier!
While still rating it highly, I'd say areas of improvement might be:
- An easier method of getting the hood on and/or larger hood
- The buckles at the front to not loosely fall down the straps, as it can be fiddly finding them with them being black and therefore blending in with the other dangling bits.
Carrier seemed good quality and Kiki was so helpful and attentive with trying to give me the best chance at the carrier working for me and my bub, unfortunately it wasn't the best for my body and arthritis as my shoulders and upper back were quite sore with the backpack style, but think it'd be great for a lot of people. Loved the colour. And support in the returns process was amazing. So much so I'm trying another carrier to see if it's a better fit for me
