Tripod sitting
The onbuhimo requires the child to have good "trunk" control. This is when baby is able to tripod sit. As soon as they do this, you can put them in the onbuhimo!

How to front carry
Watch the video below to see how to carry your babe on your front, with out any assistance.
Standard size Onbuhimo
baby
Baby/standard size is a universal size of the carrier - it will fit an infant (who can tripod sit) as well as an older child. We recommend this size for children from 4 months until 2T pant length
Toddler size onbuhimo
Toddler
Recommended for kiddos who are wearing a 2t pant size and mamas who want a snug comfortable fit.
Preschool Size onbuhimo
Preschool
This carrier is much bigger than the toddler size. It will fit as small as 2T pants, but for parents who are small or only using this in the house, we recommend using this size when child is 3t-4t in pant length.
*Important information*
If you have never used an Onbuhimo, be prepared to practice with this carrier style. It is a more challenging style of carrier to use. It takes some patience and practice. Most people do not get it right the first time.
Fit-check photos can be posted in our Facebook group or emailed to us. We have a group of others who will gladly help give you some tips and tricks, and sometimes they have a faster response time.
The Onbuhimo carrier is not the perfect style of carrier for everyone. You will only be using your shoulders to support your baby. The best way that we can explain how this carrier will feel on your body is to describe it as a bookbag packed full of books. If carrying a bookbag full of books would hurt your back soon after putting it on, we highly recommend looking at an SSC-style carrier like the LennyLight.
An SSC-style carrier may cost a little bit more, but it offers much more support since it has a waistband. The waistband will allow your whole torso to support your child’s weight. The SSC-style carrier also makes getting a comfortable fit for the caregiver and child much easier.
We hope this helps! Please reach out if you have any questions.
