About Us
At Sana Steps, we believe the smallest moments can mean the most.
We created Sana Steps with one purpose in mind: to support meaningful connection between babies and their caregivers through thoughtful, developmentally inspired products. Founded by a Doctor of Occupational Therapy specializing in pediatrics, Sana Steps is rooted in a deep understanding of early development and the importance of intentional, everyday interactions. Everything we create is designed with purpose — blending research, simplicity, and beauty into products that feel good to use in real life.
Our first product, Looky Baby™, was born from a real need during the newborn stage: finding simple ways to encourage connection, capture attention, and make daily routines feel a little calmer and more engaging. Inspired by early visual development and designed with high-contrast characters, soft textures, and sensory-rich details, Looky Baby was created to turn ordinary moments into more connected ones.
At Sana Steps, we care deeply about creating products that are not only beautiful, but purposeful. We believe baby products can be supportive without being overwhelming, playful without being overstimulating, and practical while still feeling special.
Our hope is to bring more ease, more connection, and more intentional play into the early days of parenthood — one small step at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Looky Baby™ for?
Looky Baby™ is designed for newborns (0–6 months), when babies are naturally drawn to faces and high-contrast visuals. Many families continue to use it beyond this stage for playful interaction and engagement.
How do I use Looky Baby™?
Wear the headband during face-to-face moments like diaper changes, tummy time, or play. Keep it within your baby’s line of sight (about 8–12 inches) to encourage visual focus and connection.
Is Looky Baby™ safe for babies?
Yes. Looky Baby™ is made with soft, baby-friendly materials and meets U.S. safety standards (ASTM F963-23 & CPSC). It is designed to be worn by an adult and used during supervised interaction.
Is this meant to be worn by babies?
No. Looky Baby™ is worn by a parent or caregiver. It’s designed to support face-to-face interaction—not for babies to wear.
