Are the straps long enough to go over the shoulder of an average height 18-month old?

I bought it for my granddaughter. I don't think she was able to put it to her shoulder, but on the crook of her arm.

Its more of a hand bag but yeah i guess I've seen my one year old carry it on her shoulder.

Possibly, but they are short. My girls carry them at the crook of their elbow.

Yes they are, my current 16/17 month puts them over her shoulder. For a first purse I don't think you will be disappointed. My daughter sees my on my phone sometimes my daughter will pretend to talk on her phone that came with it.

Maybe, I don't know how comfy it would be though. I do know my friends granddaughter did, but was too excited to leave it there long.

I bought two of them one for my 3 year old son and one for my 6 year old son. Both my boys are big for there ages. My youngest weighs 45 lbs and is 3 ft 7inches and my six yr old is 50lbs and is 4 ft tall the straps fit well on both children I hope this helps u.

I can't say for sure since I am only 5'6". I can say that the straps are very good quality and have plenty of adjustment left. I have used it on hunting trips with good results

I'm not sure how long the strap is, I take it off and use my own. I'm guessing around 15 to 18 inches. No the strap will not fit around an adults waist.

I am curious about the same thing. I know that for bigger kids the straps are not long enough in G3 series, what about in G4?

I'm 5'7 and the easal comes up to my shoulder. My granddaughter is 5 and it's great for her as she grows. We've had older kids over and they seem to live it.

The shoulder strap is length adjustable and has plenty of length depending on how you adjust it. I am 6 ft tall and if I wanted it to cover my bum it could very easily do so. Hope this helps.

Not unless you have very thin forearms. I believe the straps only stretch to somewhere around 6-8 inches in circumference

This isn't really a question, but the straps are plenty long enough for my large 2 year old fully loaded with winter gear.

I wouldn't see why not. I am 5'5" and have no problems wearing it. The shoulder straps are adjustable so you can just cinch it up nice and tight if you need to. There is a chest strap you can use too if you are doing a back carry. I find that helps the shoulder straps from sliding off the shoulders. For front carry I always crossed the straps across the back and it fit awesome that way. I guess depending on how big your baby/child is as well will help fill it out more or not. If it is for an small baby they do have an infant insert that works really well. I can wear it with my 33lb 3 year old on the back but also used it for my newborn on the front. Both very comfortably. Depending where you are located it might be helpful to see if you can try it on first. There are tons of retailers in the U.S. and Canada that carry the Onya (just check their website for a listing). Hope this helps.

Yes. It is difficult if you loosen and tighten each time. To get around that, I don't loosen the straps when I take my child out so I don't have to tighten them each time - the clothing your child is wearing shouldn't affect the strap length much if at all (if the clothing is so bulky you have to loosen the straps, it may create too much give in the event of an accident). Now, I do periodically have to loosen the straps a tiny bit as she grows if it gets just too hard to fasten. But, for me that's easier than ranging that adjustment each time.

Yes. Especially if the child is slight to normal in heigh. A larger child might find it short for them.

I think it could be too big for you. I'm 5'5' and I tighten the straps almost as far as they can go in order for the baby to be high enough. They say the baby is supposed to be "kissing distance." It would depend on the size of the baby, too. My baby is 6 months.

Not sure of the actual length but yes it can fit over the shoulder. We used it for my daughters tote bag for kindergarten and even decorated the front with fabric paint.

It isn't, but you get 5-6 inches of length there, including the buckle. Since the shoulder straps are adjustable you should be ok, in my opinion. But you know your baby! :)

Yes the strap is long enough to go across the body. I just started wearing it that way and its fine.

Caitlin, The straps are pretty short. I do not believe it would work as an over the shoulder bag. Sorry I could not give a more positive response. It is still a really neat bag!!! Wanda
