The Diono Carus Essentials is the ultimate 3-in-1 carrying system designed to carry children from birth up to 33 lb / 15 kg, (an infant insert is included for babies weighing 7-12 lb / 3.2-5.5 kg). Carus Essentials 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 offers superior back support and comfort in every mode. 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. Switching is made simple. This makes Carus Essentials really easy to use and also ensures complete ergonomic comfort for you and baby. The pod is super simple to attach with zip and click fastenings and can be attached to both the front and the back in the same way. Allows parent facing, world facing and back carrying positions. Acknowledged as a hip-healthy baby carrier by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute with adjustable leg support to grow with baby. Carus Essentials features a 'Close to Me' touch pocket at the front to allow you to comfort baby. Oeko-tex approved and certified textile fabric. The Diono Carus Essentials is engineered for all adventures, wherever life takes you.
