The seed of Baby Buddha Baby Gear Ltd. has been germinating since Alison had baby Coco two years ago. Alison began "babywearing" immediately, creating a beautiful mother-daughter bond. A choosy client, when she couldn't find a sling that was comfortable, easy to use and stylish she decided to sew her own, unexpectedly embarking on a sling-sewing career. After repeatedly meeting Vancouver women who admired her slings, she realized it was time to launch a company.
Meanwhile, Paula, a teacher and industrial designer, was exploring avenues to satisfy a life-long passion for textile design. Clear that she wanted to design and develop products that enhance rather than clutter lives, she was plotting her next move in innovative, ergonomic and sustainable design.
When Alison met Paula, they recognized in Baby Buddha the perfect path for both their visions. They believe parent-led design vetted by an industrial designer will ensure parents get products they really need and can feel good about. With the Together Sling, their first product to market, they are creating a company that respects people and the planet. That's why the Together Sling is made from fabric milled in Canada, is sewed in Vancouver and comes in a reusable bag instead of disposable packaging.
