Description

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.

  • Great for forward-facing carry.
Color: Gray Light Style: Carus Essentials
I've only had it for a week or so, but I am loving it for forward-facing. Honestly, I had a bit of trouble getting it into the back carry position and gave up. I'll get my husband to help with that at some point and see if we can get it, but the first attempt didn't go well. For the back carry, it's a bit like a hiking carrier, where you load the baby in first and then put the carrier on your back. For the forward-facing position, I absolutely love it. My 8 month-old son seems very comfortable, and I've held him in it for probably over 2 hours at a time and had no back pain. I love that the part of the carrier that goes on your back is more of a solid piece, as opposed to just straps like my other carriers. The materials this is made of are pretty comfortable. The parts that don't touch the baby are made out of material similar to a regular backpack, and the part that does touch the baby is a soft, stretchy polyester over padding. I was worried when I saw that part of it is waterproof that it may be a little rough or noisy, like a winter jacket, but it isnt. My complaints are minimal. The place where you button down the neck support for forward-facing is a bit tight. I think the lower portion of that button should be located a bit higher. The lower straps that go just under the baby's arms seem like they may be a bit uncomfortable if the baby rubs on them too much, but I haven't actually had any problems with it yet. Overall, I really like it for forward-facing, but due to having to readjust everything for the back-carry position, I will probably just stick with my Ergobaby carrier for that. I haven't tried in for inwards-facing, because my son isn't loving that right now, but I bet it would be comfortable. I was on the fence about purchasing the carrier, but I am very happy I did. ... show more

  • Diono is best.
Color: Gray Light Style: Carus Essentials
I absolutely love the Diono brand. It's durable and generally easy to use. My 7 mo old is 20 lbs and we have tried 4 other carriers and this is the only one that helps take the weight off and allows us toove freely and easily with our son. This one, with practice also allows you to use it solo, with no help from anyone else. ... show more

  • It might be just a tab too big
The standout feature of this carrier is the detachable backpack, adding a layer of convenience for parents. It allows for easy storage of baby essentials, freeing up your hands while keeping everything within reach. The carrier is made from high-quality, breathable materials, ensuring both the parent and the baby stay comfortable even during extended wear. The only issue is that it pretty big, I mean I can wear it just fine but this is way too big for my wife Whether you prefer front-facing, back-carrying, or hip-carrying positions, the Diono Carus Complete 4-in-1 Baby Carrier offers a comfortable and secure solution for parents, making it an essential parenting tool for families on the move. ... show more

  • Perfect infant to toddler carrier
purchased 3 prior to finding this perfect fit to my needs. Love the versatility, comfort, and the ability to use as my son gets older.

  • Vert uncomfortable
It is very complicated and uncomfortable to use. Even my baby cries when she’s in the carrier. I feel like I am not holding my baby but a car seat or something like that. I can’t think they thought about moms who’ll wearing the most. I’d give 0 star if possible.

Color: Sand Style: Carus Complete
Buen material, estilo y calidad. No es cómodo para el bebé, las tiras que sostienen las piernas son complicadas e incómodas ya que le aprietan las piernas asi se graduén. Poner al bebé en cargador no es fácil, introducir las piernas del bebé por las tiras o poner las tiras es complejo, ese mecanismo no es funcional. El cargador es grande, robusto no es fácil guardarlo. Guardarlo en la maleta en la que llega es absolutamente imposible. ... show more
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023 by Buenos terminados, buen material y calidad. Es complicado de armar, de colocar, muchos broches, las tiras internas qué sostienen al bebé son supremamente incómodas para el bebé y uno de mamá se enreda tratando de poner al bebé en el cargador y pasarlo por esas cuerdas qué sostienen sus Piernas. Es imposible volver a guardar el cargador en la maleta.

  • Tall parent? Don't bother.
Good: Well made, great price. Much easier to rig than other carriers we tried that just seemed like a random bag of straps. Bad: Wanted to love this but I couldn't adjust this to be comfortable for me or safe for my kiddo. I'm 6'5". It was far from fitting, you'd probably need to be 6' or less for this to work. Other thoughts: Wipe pocket is a clever idea, but it doesn't really work for cloth wipes. ... show more
