Our History
Moppet Kids was dreamed up in the great lockdown of 2020 in Melbourne
As parents of a one year old we were constantly balancing our small home with the appropriate play equipment to foster learning and gross motor development. With one lounge, no playroom and an already tight galley kitchen we needed to reimagine some of the traditional Pikler and Montessori play equipment.
With a mechanical engineering background and as a full time dad (Gavin was a rocket scientist before becoming full time carer for our little dude) Gavin set to work reengineering large and bulky items so they could fold flat and easily pack away, without losing any benefits.
We're excited to share our products and believe space no longer has to be a consideration for you when purchasing play equipment for the little people in your life.
We've had many iterations since 2020
From building our first unit in our garage, to manufacturing in our factory and selling out every single launch, it's been a wild ride.
We knew we needed to bigger machines & a bigger team to increase our volumes and quality so we took the first part of manufacturing offshore - after spending two years finding and prototyping with our manufacturer!
Our goal was to make The BEST Folding Learning Tower In Australia
And it's safe to say we've achieved just that. Weight rated to 120kgs, it's the most useful tool in the kitchen. We've pulled out our hard-to-reach top cupboards, paint the laundry, even as a spare seat around the table in a real pinch!
Plus, being able to pack away means we're not giving our kids constant, potentially unsafe, bench access. Nor is it taking up room in our small kitchen.
We're so proud of our little company, and being able to get our Folding Learning Tower into over 1000 homes has been a massive milestone.
