About us

Kargo® Baby Wraps is a Colombian venture founded in 2014 by Valentina Espinosa, a graphic designer with experience in the fashion industry and currently an international babywearing consultant certified by the German Babywearing School FTZB Trageschule. When her son was born and she was working from home, Valentina searched for practical ways to stay close to him at all times. Leaving him "alone" in a crib just felt unnatural.

It was then that she realized the national market offered very few babywearing options, and that Colombia — a modern country — had lost touch with its ancestral roots in the art of carrying babies. That insight sparked the beginning of a project aimed at promoting babywearing as a conscious parenting practice, rooted in the responsible production of modern baby carriers. All of it guided by the educational support of her father, a renowned OB-GYN in Colombia.

After eight years in the market, Kargo® Baby Wraps decided it was time to grow — inviting four more families to join the project. The goal: to support families around the world not just through wraps, but through a wide range of products that embrace conscious parenting and motherhood. Kargo believes in nurturing strong bonds with our little ones, respecting their growth and unique rhythms — all without sacrificing the freedom and style of modern moms and dads. Here, we introduce the five women who now lead Kargo alongside their husbands and children. Five couples, five moms, five dads, and many little ones — they are the heart and soul of everything we do..

Manu & Andres

A multitasking, entrepreneurial mom. Manu is our boss—the business manager who, somehow, manages to balance two kids and two ventures. She's the kind of mom who truly enjoys motherhood and is always looking to develop products that help other moms like her make motherhood easier. Alongside Andrés, Manu leads product development, finances, and strategy.

Iri & Mauro

The super mom, super executive, and super human who manages to balance her professional and family life thanks to tools like our baby wraps—and a husband, Mauricio, a hands-on entrepreneur who shares the journey of parenthood. They're the couple who brought our group together and the perfect duo for testing our products, because she’s always doing something (working, exercising, walking—anything but staying still).

Sofi & Alejo

Sofía and Alejandro are the tech-savvy couple on the team. With several years of experience in e-commerce and digital marketing, they joined Kargo to help take it to many places through online sales. Although Sofía is currently dedicated to her daughters, she’s also a true motherhood enthusiast—to the point that her other job, besides being a full-time mom and part of Kargo, is hosting a motherhood podcast: El Club del Caos.

Valen & Dani

Before becoming parents, they had already fallen in love with this project. Valen joined Kargo alongside her husband, Daniel, driven by their shared passion for entrepreneurship and their belief—rooted in their expertise (he’s a lawyer, she’s a trends expert)—that today’s parents need tools to raise their children consciously and closely, without sacrificing their lifestyle. Now, as parents themselves, they love Kargo even more and appreciate its functionality firsthand. Valen analyzes what’s coming next—consumer needs, market trends, and the evolving parenting landscape—to help us truly understand what today’s moms and dads need. Daniel, on the other hand, is our go-to legal expert.

Valen & Anibal

Our founder, the babywearing expert, the visionary who created Kargo—she gave it a voice, a purpose, and a clear direction. Valen is currently our graphic designer, strategist, social media designer, and the one who brings color and life to Kargo. But even more importantly, she’s our babywearing genius—the one who ensures our products meet all international safety standards for little ones. Her husband Aníbal, an artist, has been her biggest supporter from day one, especially in all things creative. And just as they say “behind every great man there’s a great woman,” in this case, behind this great woman, there’s a great man too.

We’ve supported thousands of families over the years, and this has driven us to continuously train and grow—ensuring not only high-quality education on how to use our products, but also the manufacturing of baby carriers that meet the highest quality standards.
