Active mom Gabby Caperon started Beco Baby in 2005. She started by sewing diaper covers, but the baby carriers quickly took over. Gabby wanted a carrier for her newborn son, and was not impressed with commercial US carriers. She began researching baby wearing in other cultures, and was inspired to make her own wrap style carrier. She sold this first wrap to a mom in the grocery store! Gabby made and sold a few different styles of baby wearing carriers, but did not like all the strapping and wrapping that was going on. In 2006 she shifted her business plan and designed the Beco, with easy on and off features, and a streamlined design. She sewed them all in the beginning and now has a small sewing center in Costa Mesa, California.
