Oopa Baby



Amy Glovsky Abreu began Oopa Baby in 2004, as she and her husband became increasingly disappointed with many of the "must have" carriers their friends raved about, finding them either uncomfortable or unattractive. To satisfy her craving for a baby sling that she could use to carry around her baby Tiago and complement her outfit at the same time, Amy began designing her own slings, both for herself and friends. Oopa Baby was born out of an earnest desire to create a hip and stylish alternative to traditional baby slings and carriers -- making babywearing a fashion statement, as well as a wonderful thing to do for your child. The word Oopa (spelled "upa" in Portuguese and Spanish) is a colloquial phrase adults use when speaking to children, meaning "up!", as in "Come on, let me pick you up....upa!"
