The development of ‘Coolamon’ started in 2002 when John Maltzahn and a friend developed a beach cart called ‘Sandtrakka’. ‘Sandtrakka’ was featured on the ABC’s ‘ The New Inventors’ in 2004. John then developed a cheap and cheerful beach cart called ‘Beachbarra’ - see video.
After a five year stint as the Technical Manager of a large supplier of children's nursery products – cots, strollers, highchairs, portacots etc, John decided to add a baby seat to the beach cart concept – this created 'Coolamon'.
Complies with:
- Australian standard AS/NZS 2088: 2009
- European standard
- US standard
John is a retired civil engineer with a 2 ½ year old great grand-daughter.
