Is Onya Baby Releasing A New Toddler Carrier?

Last Updated: November 16, 2025

Is Onya Baby releasing a new toddler carrier? Nope! We don’t need to release a new toddler carrier, because Onya Baby carriers have always been excellent toddler carriers!

So, what makes an Onya such a great toddler carrier? There are a number of reasons:

From the high supportive back, to the cushy, angled leg padding for your child, to the excellent shoulder and waist support for you, an Onya truly is built to last. The Onya can be worn for day long outings, making it ideal for extended adventures in the great outdoors or around the house. But what happens when your child’s legs aren’t completely supported knee-to-knee? Is that ever ok? Because there will come a time, if you wear your baby Onya for long enough, that, although they’ll still have excellent under-knee support, they won’t be completely knee-to-knee.

The Onya is suitable for infants as well as toddlers, and supports infants from a young age, making it a versatile choice as your child grows.

According to Arie Brentnall-Compton, well-known babywearing expert and co-founder of the Canadian Babywearing School:

“Once a child can stand up and walk independently, they have shown that they have developed their spinal & muscular structure to the point they can fully support their own weight. The fully supported bottom/thighs that is so important in the earlier months is no longer needed for a baby to be well positioned in a buckle carrier. Instead, we are looking only for a carrier to seat the baby in an M position, with the knees above the bum.”

The seat width is designed to accommodate growing children, ensuring comfort as your child transitions from infant to toddler.

And guess what? Even if your toddler grows too big to be completely knee-to-knee supported, your Onya will continue to support your baby in that “M” position as they grow well into toddlerhood and beyond! The Onya has been tested for comfort and safety, and has been worn and wore by many parents in various locations, including the great outdoors and around the house.

We hope that helps explain why we don’t need to release a “toddler” Onya carrier. The biggest bonus? There’s no need for you to buy a whole new carrier when your baby becomes a toddler! Compared to other carriers like the Boba, Onya's material and features are helpful for parents, offering durability and breathability. The integrated seat feature can possibly be used as a high chair alternative when dining out, making it even more convenient.

Babywearing perfection! Parents don’t have to worry about comfort or safety, and can easily watch their child while using the carrier, even in summer conditions.
