It was born from the idea of dads and moms within the company.

Furthermore, water play with babies often involves "parenting common challenges" such as: - Always holding the baby, making it hard to move. - Unable to play with older children. - A lot of luggage, making it difficult. Aqua Hug was born from these real concerns. ■Reasons it can be used in water "Neoprene material" used in wetsuits It adopts neoprene material also used in wetsuits.
