Where it all started
We believe that you should be outside with your children as much as possible! When, in early 2020, Covid-19 hit our society hard, we all ended up inside. The places where we often and happily came with our children, which we knew well, closed from one day to the next. Outside these places, the schools and day care facilities also closed. This caused a lot of anger and misunderstanding in society, but resulted in new possibilities in daily care and education. Renewed knowledge about the place where you live, the city or the beach taught us how much satisfaction you get from a walk with your little ones. During this long period and several lockdowns, we have rediscovered the nature around us, the empty cities, the harsh beaches and other areas that we might have forgotten because of our busy daily life.
What we learned
We believe that you can enjoy with and with your children enormously while keeping them supported and safe with you. As we walked through those forests, we discovered more and more that our children really want to go out on their own, want to discover for themselves, but just need that arm every now and then. But often wanted to run again. We also found out that it is not a choice for your little one, it is just a process of learning to walk. By using different baby carriers, belly carriers, back carriers that can grow with your child, we found out that these are all developed from the carrying principle, from the baby. None have been developed from the toddler. Little Knives and Toddlers want to run, walk, crawl and play and go on adventures whenever they want. But every now and then they need a place to rest before they can set off for the next adventure. And where better than on the arm of your father or mother? Unfortunately, those arms don't always have the strength or stamina to carry on. And that is how the Wildride was conceived. A child carrier which offers you a simple, light, small but trendy solution to always carry your little one.
