Best for experienced babywearing dads: Onbuhimos
What are they?
Onbuhimos are waist-less backpack carriers that position baby in line with your shoulders. Make a seat with the panel, put baby in, buckle the chest clip, and go! These require more practice to learn and are best for those with babywearing experience.
Why are they great for dads?
Waist-less is great for size-conscious dads, and the quick ups in an onbuhimo are great for tossing toddlers up high. If your little one loves piggy back rides from dad, this is a winner! Feels like a piggy back ride, but with added support for the caregiver.
Our onbuhimos come in 3 sizes. See them all here.
Best for dads: Ring Slings

Ring slings are a piece of strong fabric with a pair of rings sewn at the end. This makes an adjustable loop for various kinds of one-shoulder carries.

Ring slings are easy to learn and adjust. Versatile when not carrying baby, you can use it as a blanket or strap. Mesh water sling options are especially great for summer fun at the splash pad, pool, or in the rain!
