What is the "swaddle bag of the future"?

A bag that allows you to check your child's health just by carrying him or her. Based on the "Norummani" branded baby carrier bag, the bag is equipped with a function that allows the child's weight to be easily measured by simply placing the child on the seat, and the child's body temperature to be measured as well. The bag can also be linked to a smartphone application to record the child's growth and manage the child's health.

What is Norummani?

The "N/ORN Mani*" carrying bag, which advocates "Hoiku "*, is a fashionable body bag that can be carried on a daily basis, and can be put down immediately when the baby says, "I want to walk" - just by changing the way it is worn.

As a new model of the N/ORN baby carrier bag released in 2021, the N/ORN Mani has been designed to be lighter, easier, and more compact, with a minimalist, genderless design. The minimalistic and genderless design can be used by anyone, anywhere, every day, regardless of whether you are a mom or a dad.

The "a" in N/ORN Mani is officially accented with an acute accent.
