About the Popover and Beebles
The Popover was invented in New York City where many buildings have revolving doors, subway stations have steep stairways, grocery stores have nowhere to leave your stroller while you shop, and the streets spawn epic slush puddles. In walking cities like New York, pushing a stroller is sometimes more trouble than it’s worth. Because of this, we love our infant carriers. The only problem is that it is difficult to keep your baby warm while using one. You can’t put the baby in a snowsuit because the baby is uncomfortable (if they even fit into the carrier at all). Most people wear a big coat and wrap it around themselves and the baby in the carrier, or they tuck a blanket all around, trying to keep the baby warm. Neither solution is very good.

I am a Baby Bjorn addict, and didn’t want to stop carrying my daughter in the winter. I invented the Popover prototype as a method of keeping her warm and dry in virtually all conditions. Every single time Rebecca and I stepped out onto the street someone would ask me where I got the prototype. It seemed like too great a product to keep to myself, so I started looking into what it would take to manufacture enough of them to sell.

I decided to make the Popover out of Malden Mills Polartec® WindPro® fleece, which is a superior product you can read about here, and to manufacture the Popover at Equinox Ltd., a living wage factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Not only is this a great product from a design and utility perspective, but it is a socially responsible product as well.

Beebles is the company that is bringing you the Popover. The name of Beebles was suggested by our little friend, Matthew’s nickname. Last year, when Matthew went to school, he ceased to be called Beebles. It seemed a shame to lose such a great name, so we named the company after him. Beebles will continue to bring you great and innovative products to make your life easier and help you take great care of your baby. We look forward to being part of your family, and to hearing your ideas and comments. Please contact us at info@Popoverbaby.com.
