Thirty years ago, when Sarah Spoor was a baby, her mother used a simple, framed back carrier to care for her baby while continuing on with her life. When Sarah had her first baby, her mother brought out the same carrier for Sarah to use. Sarah loved the freedom of baby wearing, but longed for something with a bit more style than the thirty-year-old frame carrier.
Then, when traveling through the Northwest, Sarah spotted some beautiful fabrics in a boutique and began to think about combining modern fabrics with the simplicity of the vintage carriers. Kokopax Baby Carriers were born.
But much like pregnancy, the conception of an idea did not result in an immediate product. Sarah thought, researched and dreamed of the Kokopax Baby Carrier. She made contact with an early carrier inventor in Colorado, who gave her some wonderful inspiration and contacts. Sarah formed a team of designers, safety consultants, publicists, and more to work with her on the Kokopax Baby Carrier.
Only then did the Kokopax Baby Carrier begin to take shape. Named for a favorite children's book (Koko's Kitten) and the play on the Latin word Pax (meaning peace) and packs (as in backpacks), the Kokopax Baby Carrier was named.
The Kokopax Baby Carrier was designed as a fresh take on the traditional framed carrier. It is lightweight enough for everyday use, giving baby a safe and comfortable ride. 100% cotton canvas breathes well, and comfortable shoulder straps and padded waist support make it wearable all day long.
The patent-pending Kokopax Baby Carrier includes a handy storage pocket for small essentials, a toy ring to attach babies' favorite toys or pacifier, and a green carry bag. The 5-point safety harness keeps your little one secure in the Kokopax Baby Carrier, while the kickstand makes it easy to load them.
The Kokopax Baby Carrier weighs just 2.7 pounds and fits easily in airline overhead bins, making it the perfect baby carrier to take on your travels, whether you'll be backpacking through the rainforest or just navigating the airport. The anodized aluminum frame of the Kokopax Baby Carrier is adjustable to fit each individual user, and it can be used from the time your baby is 6 months to two years (or up to 35 pounds).
Finally, the makers of the Kokopax Baby Carrier are committed to making a difference in the world, not just through baby wearing (though that's a start). They have partnered with the i.m.perfect foundation, which implements social programs integrating special needs children with non-special needs children, promoting socialization and tolerance. A portion of the proceeds from the organic Kokopax Baby Carrier line helps fund this important foundation.
The Kokopax Baby Carrier already has a tremendous legacy. And perhaps, thirty years from now, you will dust yours off to hand it to your son or daughter as they embark on the adventure of parenthood.
