Gearing Up For Summer #15: Kokopax City Carrier AND Sun Hat Giveaway!

I have found that with two young children, having a good quality baby carrier is a must! Whether it's a simple trip to the park or store, or something like the zoo...I need something that allows me to safely, and comfortably carry my 6 month old son, while still being able to hold on to my 2 year old's hand or push her in the stroller. Thankfully, Kokopax is a company dedicated to making life easier for the busy parent!

While taking care of her four young children, Sarah Spoor was introduced to the vintage lightweight carriers her parents used to carry her as a child. She and her husband immediately recognized the many benefits of being able to carry young children so easily while still being able to take care of the other children, cook and even attend school events. Seeing it as a necessity for everyday life and wanting to create something more attractive, Sarah was inspired to combine modern fabrics with the simple functionality of the older carriers. With the mission to create a stylish, modern and lightweight framed infant carrier that could be used every day, everywhere...Kokopax was born!

For some, you may remember my review of the Kokopax Classic Carrier. It is one that we used with Kaelyn a lot and now use almost everywhere we go with Kaden! Now that he is getting older and has better head control...we have found this to be something we use on our trips to the park with the kids, walking through the store, and even around the house....it's perfect! Not only is the quality fantastic, but the lightweight design makes it comfortable to carry him with out any aches or pains. We're not the only one who loves it though....he smiles from ear to ear every time he's in it!

The Classic Carrier is not the only amazing carrier Kokopax offers though! They also have the Eco-Classic Carrier, the premium carrier in the Kokopax line which incorporates the latest technology in green textile printing and consumer safety...and the City Carrier.

The City Carrier is one that offers parents an affordable and simple way to carry their baby with comfort and in style.

Kokopax also carries several other great products, including their adorable Baby Sun Hats!

This is perfect for little ones, not to mention absolutely adorable! The Baby Sun Hats are available in three custom fabric designs: sailor, espresso and bubbles and sizes 6-12 months, 12-18 months and 18-24 months! Kaden does not have a lot of hair, so it's especially important to us that his little head is protected from the sun. I would love to get one of the Kokopax Baby Sun Hats for him at some point.
