DAVIE, Fla. - Jan. 27, 2020 - Baby K'tan, LLC is teaming up with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to celebrate and aid parents and caregivers living with paralysis and mobility impairments.
Together with a team of brand ambassadors, the partnership will highlight the unique obstacles and victories of adaptive parenting and feature the benefits of the Baby K'tan carrier through a collection of educational co-branded content. With social media and blog posts, the brands will highlight the role of babywearing in the increased independence and quality of life for parents navigating early infancy from a wheelchair or with the assistance of other adaptive devices. During the partnership, a portion of the proceeds from sales of Baby K'tan carriers will be donated to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to support their continued commitment to improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis.
This partnership has particular significance and poignancy for Baby K'tan owners, Michal Chesal and Isaac Wernick. Both Chesal and Wernick are parents of children with unique physical circumstances, and Baby K'tan was developed specifically to provide a sense of freedom and ease while maintaining proper developmental positioning that supported their children's needs.
"We want every parent to have access to safe and simple baby carriers, and we love working with The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation to help accomplish that goal." says Michal Chesal, President and Co-Founder of Baby K'tan.
"There are everyday challenges and intimate realities when living with a disability," said Aimee Hunnewell, Chief Development Officer, Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. "The Reeve Foundation is dedicated to working with partners like Baby K'tan who understand the needs of the paralysis community and bring real-life solutions that restore independence and overall well-being for families impacted by paralysis."
