The Covid-19 pandemic which forced activities to be carried out at home was the main problem that became the initial basis for their team to come up with ideas. Work from home presents its own challenges for parents where they have to keep working while taking care of their children. Therefore, their team created Kanga as a solution to this problem. The name Kanga was inspired by the kangaroo which is also the inspiration for their product. Kangaroos still provide warmth for their children even though they are still active, which is the same synopsis with the main function of Kanga. Parents can still work in their chairs and look after their children at the same time. With the position of the child's bearing on the front of the chair, parents can still supervise their child while providing warmth to the little one. So Kanga is very suitable for a career mother who is working from home. After going through several design stages, Kanga finally won the Bronze Award in Children Products / Baby & Children Products.
