The Diono Carus Essentials Baby Carrier is the ultimate 3-in-1 carrying system designed to carry children from birth up to 33 lbs / 15 kg (an infant insert is included for babies weighing 7 - 12 lbs / 3.2 - 5.5 kg). The Carus is lovingly engineered for urban adventures and the freedom to roam, with a detachable pod for baby which can be positioned on the front or back of the harness. The ingenious design of the Carus Essentials Baby Carrier offers superior back support and comfort in every mode. The Carus Essentials allows for parent facing, world facing, and back carrying positions. Unlike other carriers, the method of attachment of the harness doesn't change between front and back carrying as the same pod is used to support baby, with easy-to-use zip and click fastenings making switching simple. This makes the Carus Essentials easy to use and ensures complete ergonomic comfort for both you and baby. The Carus Essentials Baby Carrier features a 'close to me' touch pocket at the front to allow you to comfort baby. The Carus Essentials has been acknowledged as a hip-healthy baby carrier by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute with adjustable leg support to grow with baby. With Oeko-tex approved and certified textile fabric, the Diono Carus Essentials Baby Carrier is the ultimate baby carrier engineered for all adventures, wherever life takes you.
