Meet Okkatots Designer:

Jeanette is a trained nurse and the second of nine children. She is now a mother of five wonderful daughters and four delightful young grandsons. Before moving to the United States with her husband to pursue his career as director of an art museum, Jan and a sister had built a successful company that designed and produced a multi purpose child carrier and diaper bags that won accolades in Australia and overseas.

The name Okkatots is derived from a uniquely Australian term, "Ocker" - a word that has evolved from a rather obscure history to its modern meaning approximating "True Blue Aussie." Add "tots" and you have Okkatots.
