The Vancouver-based company’s intelligently-designed parenting solutions feature a suite of innovative smart products, aimed at making day-to-day tasks for your little one easier so you can parent better.

Quark was created by Canadian parents, for Canadian parents. With a combined 25 years of experience, Quark is dedicated to developing breakthrough products to simplify everyday parenting for Canadian families.
“My partner and I were blessed by the birth of our daughter Hannah in March 2021,” says Quark Founder and CEO, Garett Senez. “As we started shopping in the baby category, we were struck by the high cost of what were relatively generic baby products. Over time, we also experienced how many items were simply not optimal - for us and our baby. That’s why we developed an assortment of intelligent and affordable baby products that are more functional, easier to use, and easier to clean.”
“Designed in Canada, Quark products are made to simplify everyday tasks”, says Senez. We are committed to providing innovative, safe, and high-quality essentials for both parents and little ones alike.
