The Zaky ZAK® is the official Kangaroo Care Safety Device of the Kangaroo-a-thon of The Zaky® app.

 The Zaky ZAK®, is the most effective safety device for holding babies (skin-to-skin or clothed) that weigh from 1 to 15 lbs.

The Zaky ZAK® is the only evidence-based device engineered to hold babies (skin to skin or clothed) in the hospital and then at home.  It was engineered by Yamile Jackson, a Ph.D. in ergonomics engineering and [kangaroo] mother of Zachary who was born at 28 weeks and spent 5 months in the NICU. 

It provides an ergonomic micro-environment for safety, warmth, love, healing, nutrition, development, growth, and protection for babies weighing 1 to 15 lbs. 

The simple, adjustable, quiet, easy to use, strong, and practical design with zippers:

  • Ensures perfect fit every time.
  • Enables easy and quiet access at all times.
  • Does not use Velcro (Velcro® is loud, disruptive, difficult to reposition, and loses strength with every wash) or ties (ties create pressure points), or cooling fabrics.
  • Minimizes human errors.
  • Significantly reduces risks of infant falls or injuries.
  • Provides a predictable and safe experience for clinicians, parents and patients before, during, and after holding.
