Back Carrying

Is your baby older than 5 months and ready to explore the world? Then it's time for back carrying! This carrying option is just as ergonomic and safe but allows babies to look around and stay close to you. It also means more freedom of movement for you, especially when you baby gets bigger.

From 9+ months

Onbuhimo

Turn your Stokke® Limas™ Carrier Flex into this traditional Japanese baby carrying style by removing the waistbelt. It is perfect for little toddlers who like to hop on and off your back during walks!

The perfect set up

1

Adjustable base

To make sure your baby is always sitting in a spread-squat position, adjust the width of the base: there should be enough fabric to rest under both knees.

2

Continuously adjustable

The height of the carrier is continuously adjustable to ensure proper neck support for your baby. Make sure you adjust it to the right height before using the carrier.

3

Extra comfort on the straps

Depending on your size & body type, you might prefer longer or shorter shoulder straps: adjust the length of the straps by using the upper buckle on the straps for even more comfort!

4

Connect the straps

If your baby is younger than 9 months, connect the straps to the waistbelt for a good ergonomic position. Once your baby is 9+ months, connect the straps to the back panel for better comfort.

Safety check

Unsure if your baby is sitting correctly in their Stokke® Limas™ Carrier? Having your partner or a friend by your side might be useful, or you can start practicing in front of the mirror if you prefer. Here are a few points to check if you want to become a babywearing expert!

Front Carrying

Back panel

The back panel should reach your baby’s neck to provide head support. Always make sure your baby’s nose and mouth are free for easy breathing. Use the straps on top of the back panel to adjust the height.

Spread-squat position:

To promote healthy hip development and ergonomics for your baby, the base of the back panel should support your baby from one knee to the other, and the knees should be slightly higher than the hips.

Close enough to kiss:

You should be able to kiss your baby on top of their head easily. If your baby is too high or too low, simply adjust the waist belt. Carrying your baby too low might cause you back pain.

Carrier snug enough?

For your baby’s safety, when you lean forward your baby should stay close to you.

Comfort:

Make sure the back buckle is positioned in the middle of your back. Slide it back down on the straps to the right height to find your most comfortable position. Adjust the length of the straps if needed.
