One Hot Minute: Newborn Onbuhimo

The Onbuhimo is perfect for an adjustable carrier that will grow with your baby and transition to a back carry when you and the baby are ready. A front carry in an Onbuhimo keeps baby upright and well supported while the seat and panel heights are adjustable. The Onbuhimo also has the advantage of not needing an infant insert to position your baby. Many modern Onbuhimo carriers feature body shapes that envelope an infant on both sides, closing any gaps or open sides. For caregivers who have had a cesarean section this is also a high front carry, away from any incision sites.

Can you use this same technique for an older baby/toddler?

[@TandemTrouble]

Yes! You can absolutely wear an older baby or toddler in the same way. Older babies can also be worn on your back. Check out our Babywearing Positioning video to learn more about when you and your baby are ready to move to back carries.
