  • Whitney began her enthusiasm into the land of baby gear as a cloth diaper fanatic and a huge advocate of baby-wearing. Over her own parenting journey, as well as supporting countless parents in her retail store, Enlightened Baby, she has found that car seat safety is a vastly underestimated skill that parents are often bewildered by; thus her passion to support new parents into becoming empowered through their car seat selection began.
