About Piikaboo

Hi, my name is Maria Eidelmann and I founded Piikaboo in 2017. As part of being a mother and teaching my daughter to take her first steps in and around water, I was disappointed with the “aids” offered in order to feel safe and to try and have fun with your child in and around water, whether it was hard plastic swimming cushions that were both very uncomfortable and generally sat very badly on her body or whether it was so-called inflatable “swimming puffs” that both did not measure up to the quality with several that broke after short use and that didn't feel at all safe in the way I wanted a floating aid to feel. Somewhere during this period the whole family was on a trip abroad and I ran into a product that in many ways lived up to my safety requirements and which at the same time was comfortable and in a fun way could help my daughter learn to swim and be comfortable around and in water. At that moment, the idea was born that created Piikaboo. I wanted to further develop the product that I had bought abroad when I experienced a couple of things that I immediately felt could be done better functionally and add the feeling for design and patterns that I think is so fun. With a Scandinavian mindset around design and safety and pattern selection with both local and international connections, I am today very proud of the product range of both life jackets but also other products in Piikaboo's range.
