4moms Launches 'Pay It 4ward' Pilot Program to Give Back to NICUs and NICU Families
For every gently used MamaRoo donated to Good Buy Gear, 4moms Cares will donate a brand new MamaRoo to a NICU or NICU family in need, up to 200 units
PITTSBURGH, May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This Mother's Day, 4moms, the makers of innovative baby gear, has partnered with Good Buy Gear, the leading online marketplace that makes it easy for parents to buy and sell used baby gear, to launch the "Pay It 4ward' program, which invites parents to donate their gently used MamaRoo Infant Seats to support NICUs and NICU families. During this two-month pilot program, 4moms Cares, the charitable arm of 4moms, will give a brand new MamaRoo to a NICU or NICU family in need for every infant seat donated, up to 200 units.
4moms Cares, which began in 2011 and is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is committed to giving hospital staff and families the extra set of arms they need to comfort their NICU babies through MamaRoo Infant Seat donations. The MamaRoo is instrumental in the NICU and can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for babies experiencing symptoms of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Today, the MamaRoo Infant Seat is in 600 hospitals across all 50 states.
"Our community has always been very supportive of our 4moms Cares efforts. We regularly receive requests from parents who want to donate their MamaRoo to help others in need," said Debbie Lee, CMO of 4moms. "With the Pay It 4ward program and our partnership with Good Buy Gear, we are excited to give our community the opportunity to get involved and make a difference."
Doctors and nurses have found the MamaRoo Infant Seat to be a valuable tool for helping to calm and soothe these fragile patients when their families can't be there. Donations to Good Buy Gear will allow more hospitals to add MamaRoos to their NICUs and will help families graduating from the NICU make the transition home that much easier.
Parents will also have the option to resell their pre-loved MamaRoo through Good Buy Gear and allow another family to experience its magic at a lower cost.
