As an Arizona native, Julie Kang turned a troublesome summer problem into a successful business that helps keep people cool.
As the creator of Cool Carats (CoolCarats.com), Kang’s "aha" moment came after giving birth.
"I've burned my legs on hot car seats for years. But when it came time to place my baby in the same seat, I lost it," Kang explains. "I couldn't find anything out there to help, so I took matters into my own hands."
Featuring pioneering CooTech™ technology, Cool Carats is a disposable car seat cooler that protects children and adults from scorching hot car seats. Freeze the pad overnight, place it on an empty car seat, and remove it before sitting or placing your little one on the seat.
Kang explains that, as the daughter of business owners, she always wanted to own her own business, but she didn't like the long hours her parents worked.
"By using e-commerce," she says, "I work smarter and can still reach customers all over the world."
Whether you're a parent or just someone who dreads the summer heat, Cool Carats is a must-have for surviving Arizona summers and beyond.
