Kiddy: European Design, American Spirit


Our exposure to other cultures through technology has led some moms and dads to appreciate certain aspects of parenting philosophy from around the world. Recently, Americans have begun to show a growing interest in European childrearing methods. There’s been an increase in book titles that seek to explain why kids across the ocean are better behaved, happier, and healthier than their American counterparts. Of course, these books have generated plenty of controversy, but one thing we should all be able to agree on is that every culture has something valuable to contribute and when it comes to raising kids, we can all learn from each other.

One aspect of European childrearing that attracts many Americans is the sense of adventure. Euro parents tend to include their children in outdoor activities from an early age, creating an atmosphere of exploration and fostering a sense of independence in their little ones. This approach to parenting fits in well with a health-conscious, active, and eco-friendly lifestyle, no matter which continent you happen to live on. This is why European baby gear companies offer so many great travel products, and why some of those companies have found a home in America.

Kiddy is a company that offers high-quality, durable baby gear for parents on the go. Originally established in Germany in the 1960s, Kiddy has grown in leaps and bounds and now has an American branch located in the heart of the American South — Peachtree City, Georgia. When parents purchase Kiddy products, they know they’re getting a solid brand with a focus on safety and craftsmanship.

The company’s strollers are lightweight yet tough and are designed to go from subway to sidewalk to more rugged terrain with ease. Car seats are created to provide a high level of protection and comfort with ergonomic design and high-tech materials.

There are other outdoor accessories as well. The Kiddy Adventure Pack is a child seat that attaches to a parent’s back and enables the child to have a safe and comfortable ride while the adult walks or hikes. For moms and dads who like to jog or walk, the company offers the unique Kiddy Beacons; these lights attach to the stroller and help light the way for intrepid parents and kids whether they’re out at night or in inclement weather.
