Origin
Pietro Catelli in 1958 founded Chicco after spending most of his life dedicated to developing pharmaceutical devices used all over Europe. After having his first son, Catelli decided he wanted to move past these devices and into the world of products for babies and their parents. For over 50 years now Chicco has been used to create unique and innovative solutions to problems that parents and babies face every day. They do this by designing and creating products that range from baby apparel and shoes to equipment for nursing mothers, and products specifically for the care and protection of babies. Now a company that is known internationally and is located in 120 countries worldwide, Chicco received immense love by both parents and grandparents alike. Chicco is an Italian company which means they have a high value not just for quality and functionality but also for trendy style and design. Chicco keeps track of new and emerging trends in style and unique breakthroughs in quality, style, and comfort. They believe that design is just as important as quality and functionality for all baby products. Chicco uses the Happiness Lab in order to develop and test products using not just regular lab tests but real parents as well.
