Skoot™ was created by parents, for parents.
Giving parents one less thing to worry about and kids one more reason to smile.
The story behind Skoot™
Madi and David Nelson are the parents behind Skoot™ —and parents to four little adventurers. They believe travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s a chance to enjoy every part of the journey, show your kids the world, spark their curiosity, and make memories that last.
Skoot™ was born from their love of family adventures and a simple idea: travel should be easier, more fun, and built for families on the move. What started with the kids SkootCase™, grew into a brand that is made for every member of your family. Every bag, backpack, and accessory is designed to keep little explorers happy, parents organized, and ready for whatever comes next.
Because for Madi and David, it’s about enjoying every step of the journey —from packing at home, to airport gates, train rides, road trips, beaches, playgrounds, soccer fields, hockey rinks and everything in between.
Skoot™ Forward
Skoot Forward is our giveback initiative rooted in a simple belief: travel is a gift — and the time families spend together exploring, resting, and experiencing something new creates memories that last far beyond the trip itself.
A portion of every Skoot purchase supports organizations that help make travel possible for families facing financial hardship, medical challenges or other difficult circumstances. These experiences give families the chance to step away from hard seasons and share meaningful moments together.
As Skoot grows, we will continue to expand our efforts by partnering with organizations that help more families in need experience the gift of travel.
