ONSEN Onbuhimo: baby carrier

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.

Recycled and/or eco-responsible materials: ultra-resistant 1000D 100% recycled nylon certified GRS (Global Recycling Standard) and Bluesign®. Water repellent PFC-free treatment. All materials meet European REACH regulations.

Responsible manufacturing: we have been working for years with a Japanese partner in Vietnam, specializing in technical products (safety harnesses, paragliding wings and backpacks). They are ISO 9001 certified (quality), ISO 14001 certified (environmental management system) and WRAP (World Responsible Accredited Production) certification. This audit, carried out every year, is the largest environmental, professional and ethical certification program in the world.

"Less" polluting transport: the factory is located 80km from the seaport of Ho Chi Minh in southern Vietnam. We optimize the loadings in the containers as much as possible. The goods are then transported by boat to Fos-sur-Mer in the south of France. When we're not in a hurry, we take a barge up the Rhône river and the last km are done by truck to our warehouse in Annecy. Sometimes we bring in a few boxes by air, but this is exceptional.

Storage and preparation of orders with a logistician in Annecy.: plastic tape replaced by kraft tape. Cushioning in cardboard or recycled plastic. We are thinking about setting up reusable envelopes to send your order. But you will have to play the game and remember to return the cover (prepaid).

Sending your order is carbon neutral: through Colissimo or DPD.

Repair and second-hand sale: we work with repair centers in France and in Europe. All returns (that are not repaired and sent back to you) through customer service are repaired and then sold as second hands on our Instagram.

Recyclable: recycled nylon can be recycled over and over (and over) again. But if at some point your MeroMero bag is no longer usable (or reparable) don't throw it away, we will recycle it. Contact us and we'll explain what to do.

Order preparation: our products are shipped by our partner logistics provider in Annecy. The orders are sent by the Colissimo or DPD Predict service (choice at the time of ordering) of the La Poste group.
