We are so excited to introduce to you our new name, BabyQuip!
Our company launched just over two years ago with the name Babierge. We liked the connection to “concierge” because we know our customers value the service we deliver. Unfortunately, Babierge is difficult to spell and pronounce, see this video where we went to Times Square to put our former name to the test. “Bar-by-Age”?
As our world is changing, we need a name that works well with voice search. When asked to search for “Babierge,” Siri and Alexa returned results for “baby hairs” and “baby airs,” not so helpful for a parent seeking a crib, stroller, or car seat!
We love BabyQuip. It’s short and to the point since we deliver baby eQUIPment to traveling families. We’re growing fast and want a name that can grow with us, even in international markets. The logo, centers on a crib because when a baby sleeps, everyone is happy. We also love that the crib has wheels since we’re a service for families on the go, whenever and wherever you need us! The star mobile above the crib represents our independent Quality Providers’ attention to detail and consistent and reliable customer service. We don’t just deliver baby gear, we deliver safe and sound rental essentials. Let us do the work so you can pack light and travel happy!
Finally, it’s all a bit more playful. We’re about family travel, after all, let’s embrace the journey, celebrate the smiles, and play every chance we get!
Here’s to a future of countless happy family travel experiences and all the ways BabyQuip can help make that happen! Hello BabyQuip!
