Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation first caught the attention of Volvo when Alexandra “Alex” Scott’s determination and unwavering support for pediatric cancer research earned her a Volvo for Life Award at the 2003 ceremony in New York City. At nomination time, Alex had raised $45,000 for pediatric cancer-related research. 
In 2004, Alex set a remarkable goal to raise $1 million to fight pediatric cancer before the year's end.  Sadly, Alex passed away August 1 at the age of 8. But, having raised over $700,000, Volvo made Alex a promise to help her raise the million dollars. We have been a proud sponsor ever since then, and we donate $10 to Alex Lemonade Stand Foundation at participating retailers for every car purchased.

At BabyBjörn, we have an important mission – to develop good, functional and safe products for the littlest ones all over the world. Our products are designed to follow babies through their development all the way up to the age of three.

At BabyBjörn we are inspired by the idea that we are making a difference and helping families with small children in their everyday routines. That’s why we are constantly looking for new solutions and improvements based on our unique safety and quality mindset.

Products from BABYBJÖRN are distinguished by their simple, classic yet modern design and their lack of unnecessary details. For us, good design will always be about both function and appeal. Our products are timeless and appeal to mothers, fathers and babies. 

BABYBJÖRN is synonymous with baby carriers— we introduced our first carrier in 1973 in Sweden and continue to design premier carriers in close contact with medical experts and families. Carrying your little one in a baby carrier makes life easier for new parents. In addition to the practicality of having your hands free to do other things, when you carry your baby you also strengthen the important parent-child bond, something that has always been part of the BabyBjörn DNA.Babywearing means you automatically have more nurturing physical contact as you gently pat and stroke your baby or kiss their forehead. All this strengthens the important attachment between parent and child and helps with little one’s development.
