Honestly, at that point the only SSC I'd even heard of was the Baby Björn. I was learning about Beco, and Ergo, and Boba... And then Onya. I don't know how every other carrier stacks up, but these people have got it figured out.

They have two versions of their carrier - the Outback and the Cruiser. I have the Cruiser. The Outback is marketed as being better for warmer climates, with a more breathable liner. I didn't have any issues with feeling overheated in the Cruiser, though. And N had no trouble falling asleep and staying asleep while being packed around in it.

The morning she woke up at 5am and thought it would be good to jump on G and scream at all of us because it seemed like fun - I packed her on my back for a hike to let everyone else get some more sleep. I ended up being the only one who didn't get back to sleep since I took a 2 hour hike and N slept most of the way. But it was gorgeous, great exercise, and super comfortable.
I love all the pockets, too. I definitely made use, storing my cell phone, granola bars, hair ties... you know - the essentials. The fabric and construction is without a doubt high quality. I feel confident that this carrier will survive multiple children (and I use mine A LOT). As far as baby carriers go, this one is beautiful and I love it. N seems to love it too, and I think that says even more.
I did not purchase this carrier, but it was won as a Twitter party prize. I was not compensated in any way for this review. The opinions are entirely my own.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Mary Ann! We're super thrilled that both you and N are loving your Onya!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! I wish I'd had this carrier when my son was a baby. :-)
DeleteSo rough! My LO had HFMD in like october of last year. Terrible. She was too young for the magic mouth wash too! I she's feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteIt really is terrible. I'm not sure why you don't hear more about it. The Magic Mouth Wash has really been so great.
