What does Sutemi mean?
The name comes from Japanese martial arts such as aikido, where a person throws the whole body in order to resolve a conflict, or solve a problem. We chose to use this word as our carrier uses the whole body to carry, and move your baby. Also, the literal translation, as we understand, is “to throw away the body.” It is our desire to have a carrier design that connects the wearers body so closely with the child being carried, there are no longer two separate bodies, but only the act of moving as one. Therefore the body as we know it is thrown away.
