We bought this carrier because my 6 year old gets easily overstimulated in public settings and being held really helps soothe her. However, I cannot carry a 50 pound child on my hip for unforeseen amounts of time. This carrier saved us so much stress wile at the zoo and even hiking without any skin irritation!!
This is great for my husband to carry our older girls. He can put it on by himself with the squatting down to their height method. I am really happy that he has found a way to enjoy babywearing too.
I am SO HAPPY WITH MY ORDER! I was very hesitant to buy the Lenny Lamb Onbuhimo because I was certain I wouldn’t like the fluffy straps so I held out for a long time and got a Happy Baby instead. Then I placed the order with Mama & roo. All very on the fence about the whole thing and immediately thinking I should cancel the order. The Happy Baby came in and it’s very unfortunate my son accidentally ruined the packaging trying to be helpful and open it because I immediately realized I made a mistake with that one and it was very uncomfortable in the chest strap. Though I wasn’t sure if this was all also due to having to try it out with a 30lb 20 month old who is in the 99th percentile for height since I bought this for my baby that can not use it yet. Anyway, this all led me to think I may end up just not liking the onbuhimo all together and was really feeling I should have never put in for another one. Well, then the Lenny came. I tried it with very low expectation (just believing my personal preferences would cause me to not like it. Nothing against the carrier itself) though I could tell the material was beautiful and structure was quality. AND I IMMEDIATELY LOVE IT! It is so soft, supportive, and comfortable! I am SO glad this all worked out how it did and it wasn’t on back order because I most likely would have cancelled the order and now I have a carrier that will easily become my favorite once my new baby is old enough to use it. So thank you!
I tried this out to see if I’d like carrier with no waist belt. While the quality was great, I returned this to exchange it for the Mei Dai carrier, because I think I really wanted a more wrap-like carrier with waist support instead of another carrier that feels like a backpack. If you’re all about the no waist belt, I would suggest trying this out. My baby felt secure, even if it wasn’t what I was looking for.
I love this wrap tai. It’s so soft, so supportive, and so pretty. It does take some practice to get it “just right”, but it’s worth it! I especially love that I can hip carry hands-free with this. Baby is so comfortable in it, and even my husband reaches for this carrier before the others!
I love it but my arms get numb. Like a pinched nerve feeling while wearing my 33lb. Idk if I’m doing it wrong or just because of his weight. The quality is great
I 100% had to watch the video, but this carrier is so simple once you get it figured out! Very comfy, no waistband, super lightweight, & kiddo loves it.
So fast, comfortable and convenient! Colors are gorgeous! Three year old fits great, which is what this purchase was intended for when his little legs get tired hiking. One year old is a little small for the preschool size, but still manageable, which is an added bonus!
Great colors - I've got instant compliments. The fabric is soft from the get-go. Woven wraps are so convenient for me as I carry my three kids of different ages at anytime with them. Their comfort and efficiency can't be beat.
I love my woven wrap more than my backpack style carrier or my stretchy Moby wrap. It feels better on my back. My newborn loves it too!
It sucks and I took the tags off so I can’t return it. The shoulder straps just ride up and don’t stay on. It’s uncomfortable and not worth the money!
I've been using baby slings for 35 years now - I'm a grandma- and this is such a great one! Lots of versatility with the extra width, so I can cinch up the edges and still have a nice roomy pouch to safely wear her on my back or front or hip even as she grows. The fabric has enough texture to not slip through the rings. And it is so beautiful, I feel nice going out in it, or playing in the mirror with the little one! The gradation is brilliant for knowing which edge to tighten, or whether I've flipped it by mistake. Fantastic! I thought I liked having 'bumpers' and a padded shoulder (like my old slings) but I don't miss them at all, and in fact think this is better.
Pros: Excellent fabric and quality construction. Fits both my 22mo and 8mo. Both enjoy it! The 8mo will actually sleep in it, something he hasn’t done with front carry carriers. I spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen and feel they are much safer in this carrier than front style. SO MUCH easier to do household tasks also, can lean to move items from washing machine to dryer. Squat to grab items off the floor easier.. etc.
Cons: I don’t have great posture, so I would say this is strengthening those back muscles that I usually slump. Haha, maybe a pro actually? Also, this is a carrier for babies that have good trunk control. I got it a little too early for my (now) 8mo 2weeks. I ordered it at about 7mo and he wasn’t ready for it. As of now, he still doesn’t fully sit on his own, although very much crawling around, but can sit upright with very little support. Lastly, it did take some YouTube videos to fully understand a safe way to put on. I really recommend having your partner help you out the first few times before trying to do it on your own.
Absolutely love this carrier and so does my little!
I had been researching and researching and researching a good woven and I was unsure when I ordered, but I think I found it! I have one other wrap that is a base+1 and handwoven but is just too bulky and grippy to really become proficient in my wrapping journey as I’m new to this. My new LL is so much easier and lighter, which my 23lb 11 month old likes since she gets hot quickly in my other wrap. My LL Airglow slides easy through my “fancy” finishes and is great for helping me stand by strand tighten correctly. My next wrap, I believe will be another LennyLamb. I’m very glad I tried it out.
I got this ring sling on the Black Friday deal without planning on it. Best spontaneous decision ever! We use this ring sling constantly and the striped help me tighten it correctly as a first time ring slinger. Highly recommend!
Super fun and sweet surprise, a drawstring backpack. I'm excited to use it for my carriers, when I travel.
This carrier is a gift. I love the colors and how small it can fold down for packing in a backpack.
I love the design and feel of the carrier. It can go from my husband to me and is very comfortable for my toddler. Very easy to order and shipping was so fast.
I loved the wrapping of the product. The colors are also very vibrant and the fabric is so soft. This is a Christmas gift and I can't wait to use it for my little one.
This is a very versatile carrier! I love that the seat is adjustable and can fit my smaller baby just right. I also love that the straps can be worn in a H or X back configuration. It’s so nice to be able to switch between the 2 when my husband is using it vs me.
I was really hoping to like this twin carrier. I have tried using it at least a dozen times thinking it was user error. But it just doesn’t check all the boxes as I was hoping it would. The fabric is nice quality and I like the side-carry concept. But it just simply does not work for my 3 month old twins. My main complaint is the stretchy fabric piece that is supposed to sit on your shoulder cap.
It moves and gets easily displaced if you raise your arms even a little. I tried tightening the straps several different ways. Tried adjusting the fabric to sit wide, but I still ended up choking myself with the straps because they would come off the shoulder cap and tighten around the neck when carrying both babies. Maybe if I were simply walking, they would stay in place. But I have other children and am a busy Mom that needs to be able to move my arms.
Besides, when both babies are in the carrier, it’s hard to adjust the stretchy fabric over both shoulder caps. You need another pair of hands to help. The front crisscrossed straps also end up in each babies face…that may be user error, but with each adjustment I’ve done with the straps, I always seem to have a strap in their face.
For the money, I was really hoping for something MUCH better. I think they need to go back to the drawing board with this one. I like it just fine as a singleton carry, but it’s not for twinnies.
