the Green Kangaroo about us

We are an active family over in Washington State. My husband, Sonny, is in the US Navy. He is a submariner over at Bangor Base. Sonny did not start out raving about babywearing, but over the years of our daughters demanding that he "uppy daddy!" while shoving a sling in his hands, made a fan of him. Many of the lines in the store were hand picked by Sonny as carriers dads needed to know about. Sonny is the moral support behind the store, and over all super can fix anything guy super-extraordiner.

Our oldest daughter Katie has been a worn baby her whole life. She is the professional demo-child at all our babywearing classes and play dates. In fact, if you ask her, she will show you just how easy babywearing is, as at age three she can teach you how to sling, wrap or tie any carrier on you, and how to nurse in said carrier. Katie also works in product testing, shipping and stocking. Katie enjoys doing the ordering with most of the toy and shoe lines.

Arcelia is also a pro at helping demo carriers, and helps with product testing. Arcie is also the customer service rep. A majority of the contact emails I am responding to with Arcie nursing in my lap at the keyboard, or while she plays along side of me. Arcie and I strive to respond to all questions as soon as possible, but please understand that sometimes peanut butter happens in a keyboard, that’s an example of one technical difficulty that might slow up our response time. Arcie is also in charge of rearranging the Chico bags at least three times a day.

I am a passionate babywearing advocate, and have been teaching babywearing since Katie was an infant. I am a full time work at home mom, loving running the store, getting to know my customers, and being there for my family.

I choose the carriers that I sell based on the carriers that I have loved. I have tried literally hundreds of brand names of slings, mei tais, SSCs and wraps. I choose to sell the brands that I found to be up to par for families. Of coarse the lines I carry are always growing.

We sell reusable products because I want to run a business that my girls can be proud of. We strive to set an example for our children. I want my children to see me treat others the way that I would have others treat them. As a result, I hope you find our customer service friendly, responsive and considerate.

Thank you for stopping in and checking us out. Please do not hesitate to contact me to ask any question, like I said, we know our products inside and out, and I always love chatting carriers!
