“Speaking as a physical therapist, two aspects of the Sutemi Pack really stand out for me. First: the seat portion of the pack is very wide giving full support to the infant's pelvis and legs; this provides optimal anatomical positioning for the developing hips and spine of the infant. It also supports the legs of the older baby from dangling and bumping into the parent's (wearer) legs during walks.
Second: the Sutemi Pack design distributes so much weight to the hips of the parent (wearer) that one actually bears very little weight through the shoulders. This is excellent for persons with neck and shoulder pain or weakness. I am excited to have this carrier to demo for my babywearing clients!”

“Before I was an occasional baby wearer at best, but as soon as I got it, it just makes sense to wear him around while I get things done. Last night he slept in it at the choir concert, and this morning we went walking and grocery shopping, and I think we'll do some laundry later. Not something I could ever manage with a sling. I love that there's no adjustment, or 'learning to trust it' period. It just works.”

“I've tried other carriers, even ones that put the weight on my hips rather than my back, but the wide straps on this pack seem to be unique! They really help so much - I've been able to walk with my daughter for much longer periods of time, and she falls asleep almost every time! Thank you, Sutemi!”

“Well My son is 7 months 22/23 lbs and 28 or so inches long. We have a Sutemi Pack that we both just adore. He has hated both the Podeagi and wrap around carriers I've tried for back carries. But everytime I put him in the Sutemi he's fallen asleep. It distributes his weight really well and I just can't say enough good things about this carrier.”
