Story

Merino Kids™ was founded in 2003 with our flagship product; the Go Go Bag and are specialists safe sleep for babies, infants and toddlers - setting the industry standard for safe sleep and healthy hips.

“When I first started Merino Kids back in 2003, it was born out of necessity for my first daughter Lily. As a mother researching the availability of baby, infant and toddler sleepwear products I was shocked at the number of synthetic products that were flooding the market. More so I was dismayed at the size and state of the unregulated global industry. Using my background in textile design and my knowledge of Merino as a 100% natural wonder fibre, I decided to make a difference.” - Amie Nilsson.

Amie Nilsson is an internationally recognised designer, specialising in the design of 100% natural products to promote the health and vitality of babies and toddlers. Her first product, the Go Go Bag™ was created for her daughter Lily in 2003. When Lily kept waking up cold in the night after wriggling out of her blankets, and Amie's search for natural products uncovered no natural solutions, Amie decided to take matters into her own hands. Merino Kids™ was born.

Amie uses fresh innovative ideas based upon respect for nature. “We use 100% natural materials to create finer, safer garments that insulate and breathe better in both hot and cold environments, ensuring young children and babies are perfectly adapted to their sleeping environments.”

These values now run across a range of products designed to make a difference to the lives of families with young children. Their success is proven and global demand for the award-winning designs is growing daily.
