In 2007 Sarah Spoor, a mother of 4, decided to update the old Gerry style backpack carriers for babies. She loved the concept of the old backpack carriers, but found them outdated. While traveling in the Northwest, she came across some beautiful fabric patterns and then created the Kokopax Classic Carrier; a lightweight carrier with added modern flair.The Kokopax Classic Carrier is great for when traveling, cooking, keeping up with other children, walking around the zoo, beach, airport, park and more. They will even hold a child up to 35 pounds! Most carriers I've seen only hold 25 pounds and my daughter was a big baby, so we had to give up our carriers at a year when she still needed to be held. Talk about back problems!
The Kokopax Classic Carrier is made with 100% cotton canvas with an anodized aluminum frame. The carrier provides an ideal fit for mom and dad with its comfortable shoulder straps and adjustable frame. Other features include a padded waist support, a storage pocket, kickstand for easy unloading, a bag to carry the carrier when traveling and a 5 pt. safety harness. It only weighs 2.7 lbs so you won't even feel the added weight. The carrier will also fit in a airline overhead bin when flying, so you can carry your child while carrying your bags. The carrier is made for childre 6 months- 2 years. They are available in 6 custom fabric designs: The Discount:
Order a Kokopax Classic Carrier or other Kokopax product and get 10% off! Enter the code mk2009 at the checkout. The carrier would be an awesome babyshower gift! They have other amazing products as well.

I absolutely love their ring tote, in the Garden pattern, and could see it being used for so many things. And of course I'd love the carrier so I could take my son to crowded places without the stroller.

When I visited the site I learned their great story:
ReplyDeleteKokopax, llc was founded in 2007 in Henderson, Nevada by Sarah Spoor. While taking care of her four young children, Sarah was introduced to the vintage lightweight carriers her parents had used to carry her. Sarah and her husband immediately recognized the amazing benefits of being able to carry their infants so easily and still take care of their other kids, cook, attend school activities and travel freely. The baby backpack carrier became a necessity for everyday life. Her challenge with the original carriers was that they weren’t very attractive.
On a trip to the Northwest, Sarah came across some beautiful fabric patterns that inspired her to think of ways she could combine modern fabrics with the simple functionality of the older carriers. With that idea in mind, she embarked on a mission to develop a stylish, modern and lightweight framed infant carrier that could be used every day, everywhere. And she did . . .

Love the monkey. I think the washable organic fabric sounds like a great idea for protecting babys face in the pack.
ReplyDeletePregnancy mag named them best carrier of the year. Cool!
ReplyDeleteI love their sunhats, and the buds fabric is my fav for this.
