The Gogo Carrier: A Tribute to Love, Strength, and Connection
We are humbled to name our original Babuebaby Carrier, with its intuitive design and padded straps, The Gogo. It carries not just your little ones but the spirit of someone extraordinary—Teresa, our beloved mother-in-law, mother, and Gogo (grandma)
Gogo embodied the essence of a village, a truth often spoken yet rarely lived as fully as she did. Her kindness was a home for the weary, a refuge for the lost. If a child in the neighborhood struggled with studies, her doors swung open, her heart even wider. They moved in not as guests but as family, finding focus under her steady care. Relatives in need of stability stayed not for days but for years, building their lives with her unwavering support. Gogo understood that generosity wasn’t measured in moments but in lifetimes.
Gogo had a rare gift for attunement—the ability to deeply understand and respond to the emotional needs of others. She didn’t just offer help; she offered presence. She walked alongside younger women, sharing wisdom to help them nurture their own families. She taught them to listen with their hearts, to see and respond to their children in ways that created trust and connection. To be attuned, as Gogo showed us, was to weave moments of love, understanding, and belonging into the fabric of daily life.
Her grandchildren adored her, not because she gave them everything they wanted but because she gave them everything they needed: safety, joy, and playfulness. Gogo parented with a humor that softened the hard edges of life. She used laughter as a balm, a bridge, and a way to keep little nervous systems at peace. Through play, she taught resilience; through her gentle firmness, she built trust. She was a master of creating secure attachment, knowing that a playful heart could calm a stormy mind and bring harmony to restless spirits.
Though life brought her immense challenges, Gogo met them with grace. When she lost her leg to an accident, she redefined what it meant to be whole. Her wheelchair became her chariot, and her businesses continued to thrive. She employed others not just to run her enterprises but to sustain the families behind them. She reimagined disability as strength, showing that care and determination could build bridges where others saw barriers.
To honor Gogo’s legacy, we name every print on this model after “our” kids with special needs—our little heroes. These children teach us daily to see beyond the physical, to celebrate their unique strengths that shine like hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered. Their laughter reminds us of the brilliance in difference, their perseverance of the power in connection. Through their stories, we are reminded that we are all beautifully, inextricably linked.
The Gogo model is more than a baby carrier; it is a parenting tool infused with the spirit of village care, resilience, and love. It is a way to hold your child close, fostering the secure attachment that builds the foundation for a lifetime. Just as Gogo carried her family and community with unyielding strength, this carrier is here to support you as you nurture and uplift the next generation.
In naming this model The Gogo, we carry her legacy forward—her humor, her wisdom, her resilience, and her boundless love. May it remind us all of what it truly means to belong to one another.
