Baby carrier ONSEN Onbuhimo

An ONBUHIMO is an ancestral carrying sytem from Japan. Originally, women used to carry their baby when working, squatting in the rice fields. The concept: a simple baby carrier without hip belt, worn really high in the back, so that the baby can see over the shoulder.

The ONSEN baby carrier is designed for front carry from 6 months (baby knowing how to sit alone) and back up to 20 kg (4-5 years). On the carrier side, the Onbuhimo is perfect for adventurous parents looking for simplicity and comfort. The Onsen is an alternative to the urban stroller, and also to the often very heavy and poorly adapted “hiking bag” baby carriers (shifted center of gravity, non-physiological carrying, etc.). Also, the absence of a hip belt allows pregnant women, those who have postpartum worries, hip problems or anyone who is overweight, to carry their child! Which is not possible with a classic baby carrier.
