I ordered a size up of this carrier to the Toddler size. I already owned an Original size one. The toddler size is a lil big for my guy right now but it works just fine for an extra carrier. That was my hope then to have this carrier to use when he grew out of the original one. My son is 18 pound skinny 13 month old. He looooves the Onbuhimo carrier we use it all day long on and off. I use it forward facing for breastfeeding and picking my older daughter up from school. If he falls asleep I just throw him onto my back and I can do just about anything I need to do around the house or out and about. The fit for this carrier for me I am 5’ tall 180lbs. So I have a small torso with a mommy belly so carriers that go around waist are a bit to long and cut into my belly very uncomfortable for me and I hate the way it looks. So this for me is very comfortable fits on me like a back pack comfortable shoulders. It takes a few weeks to get your body used to carrying the baby. I 100% recommend.

Both my husband and I have tried countless times to get this on with our baby, and we just can't get it. It doesn't feel secure or safe. We are 99 percent sure we are doing it wrong, but can't figure out how to do it right either. I regret this purchase.

This is such a godsend!

The print is gorgeous! Can easily be used for both genders. The padded straps are very comfortable! My 2 yo is 39 lbs and I have back issues. Carrying him gave me a pinched nerve in my leg so I thought my baby wearing days were gone. Thank you Mama and Roo for giving us more time to bond and cuddle!

Easy, Comfortable, and Stylish

I was hesitant to try a ring sling because I thought the one shoulder carry would be uncomfortable for me.

I was looking for a light weight and easy to put on carrier that would allow me to keep up with my older child too. I also needed a quick solution for errands and other chores as my baby likes to be held often.

This carrier is perfect for my everyday needs! It is so soft and it distributes the weight across my shoulder well. No digging in. I find the hip carry the most comfortable for both me and baby.

I also love that while it is strong a single layer of fabric keeps my baby cool. She gets too hot in wraps or padded carriers.

This is the fastest carrier to put in and get baby in. My daughter loves it and will even nap while being held.

We are exclusively breastfeeding and I love that this carry can easily be adjusted to help support us during a feeding or even be used to help provide some privacy.

I can’t say enough good things about this ring sling. I love it! And if you are in the fence just buy it. You won’t regret it.

(I am also excited I got a Water Ring Sling too! My family spends most summer days at the pool or lake.)

Great price!

Managed to grab a discontinued pattern that I had at home!

Nice Metal rings

They are well weighed and made. Just gotta get the hang of it now.

Loved the item but ordered wrong size. But wrap is beautiful and well made

This wrap bloomed beautifully. It's cozy and supportive without being hot. Exactly what I needed for my toddler.

No Hood!!

This carrier does not have a hood, even though one is pictured in this item's photos (in grey color, and in jurassic, that is apparently not the same model). Matching hood reach straps are available but not a hood. This is incredibly frustrating, as I ordered it well in advance of my baby arriving and my return window is closed. Lesson learned on checking things over better right away.

I was told by customer service to sell it in a swap group, or use a receiving blanket. I spent a lot of money on this cute pattern, to have to be using a blanket for sun and wind protection.

I understand a hood might be available soon, but that's another unforseen cost.

The photo with hood should be removed from this item, and in bold letters it should say 'hood not included'.

To add to this, the clip between the shoulders is extremely difficult to operate. Almost impossible during crunch time, with a screaming newborn, for a new mom. It takes a lot of practice.

Great Customer Service

Great customer service. There was a confusion with my order and they went above and beyond to make sure it was right. The carrier itself is beautiful and well made. Unfortunately the Onbuhimo style is a bit less than I hoped for, but no fault of M&R. I find it’s not as good of a solution for quick up and down as I hoped and I found my ssc more comfortable and quicker to get baby in and out of.

Love every product that I've seen!

Admittedly, I am not the best one to explain (or understand) the differences between this carrier and the one that I intended to order - ONBUHIMO - PRESCHOOL, CAROUSEL OF COLORS, but any of the products that I've seen are first class! My dil introduced me to their products, and they are far superior to anything else that I've come across. Gut feeling, you can't go wrong with any of their products!

This company is the best!

I have rarely encountered a company that is so easy to work with, quick

Many thanks Mama & Roo, this grandma will be ordering from you again!

Review

I love the material and design, but it's pretty confusing as to how to use a better set of instructions would have been helpful as I haven yet qua figure that had to put it on by myself.
With a baby.

Seem good? Maybe my baby is too old. No instructions.

Not sure how to use these as there were no directions 😬. The suck pads seem good. My baby is now 1 year and while she mouths everything it only seems to protect the clips, not the actual straps (which she doesn’t care about). Not sure how to use the reach straps though 🤔

My favorite carrier for older baby.

I was bought a Tula carrier, hated the belt but lived the functionality. Did some research, if they had something that could be backpack and on front. I found this and with a bunch of hesitation, I ordered it.
I proceeded to message them to cancel the order I was second guessing my decision of the color, given I have a son. They replied back by next day ready to cancel my order, I decided to not cancel and keep with the order. Very friendly! Then I realized I needed it sooner being that I ordered a print that was a preorder, that it could take a while to receive. They assured me it would be here within a few weeks and it was.
So glad I chose this carrier and their site is affiliate with a payment plan which I took advantage of so wasn’t so much of a blow financially at once.
Overall beautiful carrier I use it for my 10 month old son (which fits him and me on the smallest setting in backpack style) to breastfeed and put him to sleep, then flop him on my back asleep while I do chores. It took me about a week to kinda get the hang of the adjustments and now I do it quickly and with ease.

Great for pregnant women

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and although my 1yr old would rather walk than being carried, this helps a lot during those clingy moments where he wants to be held but my hips are tired or I have things to do. This was a great purchase for me!

So soft!!!!

Love these! Makes washing our carrier less, much easier haha teething equals a slobbery carrier 🤣so these help a ton!

This carrier is very complicated to use and terribly uncomfortable on my back and shoulders. My son is 42lbs and I could feel most of that weight. He told me it hurt his leg and was not comfortable for him. It also looked very unflattering as it pulled and just didn’t sit right. Worst of all is their shipping and return policy. Free shipping on $150 or more and then having the audacity to have an item be $149.99 is really just gross. Paying for shipping because of 1 cent and now having to pay again to return. Makes it hard to support a business like this….amazon.com to find a new carrier as I at least can send it back for free if it does not fit..

Uncomfortable and bad costumer service

My auto fill out in the incorrect address when I put in the shipping information. Therefore the package got returned. I got in touch with Mama and roo (they are sluggish to respond to emails, usually a day or two after I would send) and they made me pay for shipping again (despite getting a free offer for free shipping 24 hours after originally ordering). So I paid for shipping twice, which was absolutely not worth it. The carrier itself is uncomfortable, especially around the shoulders. I have tried to adjust it many ways. And now I can't return it without paying for shipping a third time. I definitely wouldn't order this again or recommend to a friend, and certainly not through this company. If you try to use their YouTube tutorial half of the video is just an advertisement for their products, and the instruction is extremely subpar.

Hi Natalie,

I'm sorry that you were frustrated with the carrier and service you received. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing if an address is incorrect unless the post office flags it when we make the label. Yours was accepted as an address by USPS when we made the label, so we paid to ship your order to the, unfortunately incorrect, address you provided.

We are a very small company, so 1-2 business days for a reply is not unusual. We spent time in-between replies to you trying to troubleshoot what had happened with the post office and with the tech issues you were experiencing. Sometimes we simply don't have a reply until we can get an answer elsewhere- this way we aren't just sending constant non-answers to customers regarding their concerns.

The free shipping offer you received was to add to your order prior to it shipping out- it was not to place an additional order. We can certainly review the content of our automated emails to make that clearer in the future.

Again, the only reason you were charged an additional shipping fee was because we had to pay to ship the order out twice- once to the incorrect address you provided, and a second time to the correct address. As a very small company, we simply can't absorb all of the costs associated with shipping when the error is not ours. We do, however, work as quickly as possible to resolve them, and it looks like we had this taken care of for you within 2 weeks, including a federal holiday.

Regarding the carrier being uncomfortable- I can definitely understand your frustration! The onbuhimo is the most challenging carrier style we have, and it definitely doesn't work for everyone. It looks like our quiz made recommendations for styles other than the onbuhimo for you. While the quiz is helpful, we are also happy to provide custom recommendations as to which style would work better for you. Please feel free to send an email to contact@mama-roo.com, or message us via the chat, and we will help you one-on-one.

Regarding the tutorial videos, I'm not sure which tutorials you are referring to, but we do have 2 different onbuhimo tutorials on this page here: mama-roo.com/collections/onbuhimo. Often one or the other will resonate better for a customer, so I encourage you to take a look at them to see if one is helpful to you. You are also welcome to send us photos for a fit check, or to post photos for a fit check in our helpful and welcoming Facebook group here: facebook.com/groups/mamaandroos.

It looks like you are in our return window, and we offer no-fee exchanges if you'd like to try something else. You can access the returns portal for a return or exchange here: https://mama-roo.loopreturns.com/#/
You can access our return policy here: https://mama-roo.com/policies/refund-policy

Thank you again for your feedback. I hope we can help you to find the perfect carrier for you!

If we can assist with anything else, please let us know. We do apologize for any inconvenience, and we wish you the best in your babywearing journey.

All the best,

Great wrap

Great wrap! Super comfortable! Definitely my favorite wrap so far! Great store to buy from with fast shipping!

One Watercolor tablet

I’m not sure if it was a mistake but I got a tiny blue watercolor tablet, about 1 inch flat. Maybe it was $15 value? I probably would not buy again.

I love how soft and beautifully crafted my onbuhimo is. The straps are a good sturdy quality and the fabric itself feels so nice. I also purchased the suck pads which of course are so useful!

It was amazing!! My big boy loves to go around in his new Dino carrier!!

These did not go with the carrier I got. The pads are a big big and loose. The reach straps do not go with at all. Nowhere to clip.
