Mamapod Partners with The International Hip Dysplasia Institute's New CSR Program
The new program expands prevention efforts and treatment options for people who are affected by hip dysplasia
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ergonomic baby carrier Mamapod is honored to partner with The International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as part of a corporate social responsibility program titled, the "Research Partnership Program." The new program engages businesses to help expand prevention efforts and treatment options for infants and people of all ages who are affected by hip dysplasia.
"Hip Dysplasia is the most common birth abnormality affecting one in one hundred children and is the most common cause for a total hip replacement in women under the age of 40," said International Hip Dysplasia Institute Director Charles T. Price, MD. "The contributions from Mamapod truly impact our ability to bring innovation to this common, but often unknown condition."
With the help of partners like Mamapod, the Research Partnership Program provides an avenue to support infant hip health research, hip dysplasia preventative measures, new innovative diagnosing technology and treatment methods for pediatric to geriatric hip dysplasia.
"The idea for Mamapod came after an exhausting day at Disneyland® carrying my then 18-month daughter around the park. By the end of the day, I was exhausted and in pain. I used my experience as an engineer and created a baby carrier that encourages healthy hip development and made travel with babies and toddlers less hassle, painless and fun," said Cindy Wang, founder of Mamapod. "To partner with The International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as part of the 'Research Partnership Program' is truly a full circle moment. We are excited to support and continue to create products that help expand prevention efforts for people who are affected by hip dysplasia."
Recently granted a seal of approval from the National Parenting Center and a "Best Baby Product Award" by the National Parenting Product Awards, Mamapod redefines baby wear with a carrier that offers ergonomic structural support. The Mamapod is available on Amazon here and is priced at $139. To learn more about Mamapod, visit www.mamapod.com.
