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.
It's a great carrier. My husband loves using it with our 3y.o. daughter and is so easy to bring with us on holidays as it is so soft and compact.
This carrier takes a bit of time to get used to if you don't normally back wear, but it's so great to have your little one nice and high without the hassle of using wraps.
The reason I give everything from
Cloth and carry a 5 star is not just that the products are amazing but the owner is the most helpful business owner I’ve ever come across!!!
My current baby had not been one that would calmly fall asleep in a carrier. Everytime I've tried to harness her with other front belted carriers it was combat to get her in and also combat to keep her in as she would try any form of gymnastics to wriggle herself out. Due to my own health issues, the belt often gave me really bad backaches too.
Since trying the Lenny lamb onbuhimo, she has fallen asleep numerous times in a carrier. She finds it fun to superman swing on to my back too, which is great not having to do gymnastics to get her in. It took abit to adjust with the weight being on the back than the front but definitely rate the onbuhimo!
