For children from around two years and beyond. For the walk that goes further than little legs, the busy airport or the day they are unwell (or simply need to be close).
Preschool onbuhimos have the widest and tallest panels whilst still being waistband free.
Carrying a bigger child is very doable with the right fit. If you would like to try before you commit, our try before you buy service lets you test one on real outings first.
I have 3 kids, tried 3 types of carriers. Most recent one was Ergobaby omni. But my toddler was growing out. Purchased preschool lennylamb, it is good/better than the ones I have tried so far. Supports my back, neck and shoulder. One thing, it gets hot.
Who knew a tiny pad could change a life! Baby wearing has become so much easier. Amazingly fast delivery from C&C - arrived within 24hrs!
Learning curve :
Having only used a ring sling and an Ergobaby 360 carrier the learning curve felt short.
What I liked :
The adjustment for the panel width & head rest.
The bottom strap is longer which didn't need any extra padding on the front.
The fabric felt really nice and soft, definitely an upgrade from what I was using.
I did get a bit of hip pain, but this was after having my son in the carrier and holding some heavy groceries for longer than 30 minutes. I do have previous knee and hip pain pre-kids and have ignored the physios exercise instructions.
It did go away once I moved the bottom strap higher to my waist and not on the top of my hip.
Used it for :
Walks up to 30mins to an hour.
Going to the farmers market.
Day nap.
Nursing in carrier
Cleaning the house.
Going on the tram (not wheelchair/ pram accessible transport)
Configuration used:
Front H carry
The front took a very small learning curve. As I toggle between back carry and also adjust the height when he nurses in the carrier. After about two days it required no thoughts at all.
What I loved about the front carry was that my son felt very comfortable and when he fell asleep in it there was support for his head and neck.
Nursing in it was also a dream, the panel is very generous.
For normal front carry the weight felt evenly distributed.
Back carry
Loved this in a back carry configuration, was easy to adjust once I got used to the two points of adjustment on the arm shoulder
Little one felt more support and was happier to be in the carrier,less wriggling around and I didn't have to readjust him.
With the back carry, we did the toss over the shoulder and the front to back jiggle. Both works well with this.

This wrap has transformed my day to day. I can’t speak higher of its quality, versatility and on top of that how beautiful it is to look at (Can I have a dress made out of this fabric 😭) My little guy is 8kgs now, and prefers to be held at all times when he’s awake. The strain for all the repetitive movements bulged 2 of my disks and I was feeling like the only option was to get an electric rocker for him. Was well as being bulky, expensive and having a weight limit that would provide very little use time, these don’t really align with my values.
Cue, my woven wrap.
Learning how to back carry was surprisingly easy and having his weight on my back means I’m healing well. He absolutely loves it too! It’s like a little piggy back ride. He has fantastic sleeps in it and it allows me to easily manoeuvre around daily household chores and cooking.
I notice that bub is considerably more settled after a carry session, which is no surprise and I like it too.
What a joy to be able to carry him on my back/front/side/feeding while carrying/ in the home and out of the home, in such a beautifully woven art piece.
Get the wrap, you won’t regret it. Even the 6 meters of ironing after it’s first wash was oddly therapeutic
The fabric is very pretty and breathable even on warmer days. The adjustment was intuitive to learn. Very comfortable to wear the baby.
