An onbuhimo is a baby carrier without a waistband. They originally came from Japan. The word “Onbuhimo” means “back carrying strap” in Japanese. “Onbu” refers to the act of carrying on the back, while “himo” means strap or rope.

Onbuhimos are a great option for people that feel uncomfortable pressure on their stomach from waistbands from buckle carriers. Or for a leightweight emergency sling that fit in any handbag. It can also be used for carrying in pregnancy (please listen to your body and only carry if it feels ok to do so.)

The Fidella Onbu is adjustable in length and width
