Onbuhimo carriers are quick and light carriers, making them a great grab-and-go style!

You'll love how fun this wrap conversion carrier is with your toddler.

Soft, breathable, and made for adventure.

• Light & compact – Onbuhimos roll up nicely. With a single panel (plus a little fabric folded between you) and baby up nice and high, this carrier is breathable and small enough to easily pack up into a diaper bag or large purse. Get up & go faster with an onbuhimo in your bag.
  
  
• Easy to put on/take off for quick high back carries – Your little one wants to see the world! For exactly 12 seconds and then on the ground again… and then wants to be up high! And on and on =). It’s normal for toddlers to want to be in on the action but also need moments of connection with you. The Onbuhimo is perfect for those quick ups and downs but still allowing your little one to see and experience it all.
  
  
• No waistband – No waistband (only a chest clip) makes this a perfect carrier for caregivers who are pregnant with another child. It’s also great if you dislike the feeling of a waistband (and the inevitable squish that many of us have post-baby!) or you are concerned about waistband length. This waist-less style is popular for plus-size caregivers who want the closeness of babywearing but find waistbands uncomfortable or ill-fitting.
  
  
• Position the padding exactly where you need it with perfect fit adjusters (PFAs). Adventure for hours with the right fit!
  
  
• Tighten with ease with your child on your front or back using under-arm strap adjusters and PFAs. Perfectly positioned for easy adjustment while wearing!
  
  
• Chest clip in the way? Not anymore! The PRO's chest clip is easy to adjust even while wearing, so you can get a comfortable fit in no time
  
  
• Grows with your child- Simple width panel adjustment lets you use one carrier for months and even years... If you can resist getting more colors and styles to play with!

With a max limit of 44lbs for the standard and toddler sizes and 66lb for the preschool size, you can enjoy wearing your child longer!

Need something fast? You'll love quick "ups" in the parking lot, shopping mall, and anywhere else life takes you.

The perfect parenting tool for your child is here - so don't wait!

Why would I want an onbuhimo?

Onbuhimos are perfect for quick "ups" without putting pressure on the waist. Great for use while pregnant or for anyone who prefers a more "backpack" style without a waist belt.

The Lenny Buckle Onbuhimo PRO carrier is an advanced carrier designed for children who can already sit unassisted. We recommend this carrier for those who are already comfortable with making a supportive seat for baby in a carrier and who are comfortable with your child's weight being high on the shoulders/upper back.

The onbuhimo style is most commonly used for back carry. The adjustable pull strap for the width of the panel provides sizing flexibility for a wide range of children.

You might like an onbuhimo if you:

• Don’t like long pieces of fabric hanging down

• Want something super quick
  
  
• Have a child who likes to be up high and see the world
  
  
• Prefer a back carry for your child who can sit unassisted
  
  
• Dislike bands on your waist
  
  
• Have no issue hoisting your baby or toddler high on your back
  
  
• Have a child that loves quick ups and downs
  
  
• Don't mind adjusting to the different muscles used in an onbuhimo (it's higher on the back and uses different muscles than other carriers)

• Need customization of fit due to injuries or sensitivities. A long woven wrap would be a better choice for you
  
  
• Find it hard to bump baby up very high on your back
  
  
• Don't have babywearing experience- the Onbuhimo is an advanced style that takes practice and muscle training to use comfortably. We would suggest a meh dai, an SSC, or a long woven wrap for you instead
  
  
• Don't like chest belts
  
  
• Prefer front carries

How to use and adjust a LennyLamb Onbuhimo PRO in Preschool size
Always keep a hand on your child as you are adjusting and be cautious when your child is elevated

When trying your onbuhimo carrier for the first time, open/loosen all adjustments (PFAs, under-arm webbing, chest clip). This will help you determine how loose or tight you will need these in the future.

We recommend practicing over a bed or other soft surface with a doll or backpack until you are comfortable with the motions.

If you can, have a helper with you to keep an eye on baby and help you make adjustments while you are learning.

Most importantly, don't give up! This style can be tricky to learn, but it's very rewarding to have such a quick option that kids love!

Two common methods to get your little one positioned:

• Seated/table method: Place your child on the carrier on an elevated surface like a bed, with the rounded flap down, the reverse side up, and the hood back and away from you
  
  
• Standing: For an older child, you may find it easier to have your child stand. Use the same method described below, but instead of starting with your child seated on an elevated surface, start with your child standing and place their legs and panel on around them

See videos below for more details!

The following applies to any method

• Adjust the width: Pull the width adjustment cord so that the panel goes from your child's knee to knee (or mid-thigh to mid-thigh - children only need to be fully knee-to-knee when under a year old). The panel width should provide comfortable support to your child. The panel should not force the leg straight, and their legs should be able to swing freely. Knot the strings to hold the width in place
  
  
• Adjust the height: Use the pull tab height adjusters on each side of the panel to adjust the panel height. You will also modify the height by the positioning of the top edge of the panel on your child. Making the panel height smaller keeps as much fabric from bunching uncomfortably in-between you. For arms in, you do not want the panel higher than the bottom of your child's earlobe. For arms out, you don't want the top of the panel much lower than the armpit

• Put your child into the carrier: Put your child's legs through the backpack straps (webbing). Your child's legs will be partially supported by the straps and partially supported by the seat
  
  
• Lift the rounded flap up in front of your child to make a seat. You can ask your child to help you hold this in place!. When doing so, check the depth of the seat by seeing where it falls on baby's back. For arms in, it can line up at the top of the shoulder. For arms out, it should be just under the shoulder blade. You may need to let out the adjustment at the top (PFA) to give more fabric and a larger seat panel or to make it smaller
  
  
• Lift your child onto your back depending on your preference. You can squat down and put your arms in like a backpack, hip scoot, or superman. Clip the chest strap
  
  
• Once your child is up, check that the seat is in place properly. Tuck the rounded panel edge in-between you if it's slid out

• Now it's time to adjust! Bump your child up as high as you need to be comfortable, adjusting the straps as you do so. In this carrier, when baby is higher, the chest strap will move lower. Tighten as needed for comfort for both of you. Remember that you are not tightening your child closer to your body, but rather, you are rotating the carrier around so they settle higher. Try opening and closing the PFAs (perfect fit adjusters at the top of the shoulder) to determine where the padding should sit and how your child feels in the panel. You want your child shoulder to shoulder with you for optimum comfort

How do I know what size onbuhimo I need?

• The Standard size will fit your child for a long time! We recommend this size starting when your child can sit in a tripod sit for a typically developing child, or when your child can maintain an open airway and has sufficient truck control. If you can hold your child comfortably on your hip in everyday life, they likely have enough trunk control. For a typically developing child, this is usually between 4-6mon to start and can be worn into 2T-3T pants for length, depending on your child's comfort.
  
  
• If your child is already 2yrs old and in 2T pants for length, you may be more comfortable in a Toddler size. This size fits most children from 2T through 4T pants for length, or until the child or caregiver is no longer comfortable.
  
  
• Some plus-size caregivers may be able to use the Preschool size starting when their child is around 2T pants for length. The Preschool size is much larger than the Toddler size, however, so we generally don't recommend the Preschool size until your little one is in 3T or 4T pants for length. The Preschool size can fit some children into size 7/8!
  
  
• The biggest factor for sizing is in the width of the panel, which you want to comfortably support the thigh and not overextend the knee, and the height. Your child will not fit well in the Toddler or Preschool sizes if they are not tall enough as the pocket will be too deep and uncomfortable.
  
  
• Consider how your child prefers to be carried--arms in or arms out--before sizing for the panel. We recommend arms-out for this style of carrier.

Wrap conversions start out as long woven baby wraps. That fabric is then cut and sewn into a different type of baby carrier. This could be a ring sling, onbuhimo, meh dai, or SSC. Why does it matter?

Long woven wraps are made to carry babies.They're woven in a way that's soft and supportive. They're also breathable. Many wraps are made of easy-care materials.

Designs are woven into the fabric. No screen printing that fades. It's the real deal, straight from the loom!

Carriers that aren't made of long woven wraps are often more stiff. SSC carriers are commonly made with canvas or even plastic. These materials may be durable, but they aren't as comfortable or flexible. There isn't much airflow through the fabric, which can lead to overheating. Patterns are pressed onto the fabric as opposed to being a part of it.

Wrap conversion carriers are as strong and long-lasting as non-wrap conversion carriers. But, they have many other benefits! For the ultimate in comfort for you and your child, a wrap conversion baby carrier is the way to go.
