24.01.2022 Catherine and Justin McGrath of Juca Cot have 4 young children, that alone makes them experts in what to expect when you bring your newborn home, but add to that Justin’s 20 years as a Physiotherapist and you have a powerhouse of experience in both parenting and back pain. Together they’ve seen first-hand the problems that can be experienced from constant bending, twisting, lifting and stretching that parents and caregivers are subjected to when picking up babies from their cots

19.01.2022 I’m lucky enough to have my own physiotherapist on tap, my husband Justin. For over 20 years Justin has treated 1000’s of parents suffering with back pain from the constant bending and lifting of children. He has a deep understanding of how detrimental this can be to long term back health. Together we wanted to remove the sense of dread that came from watching a sleeping child, knowing the pain to come when they awoke and needed picking up, and replace it with a sense of wonder and enthusiasm
19.01.2022 Justin and I knew that our solution had to be super simple to use, after all no one understands the effects of sleep deprivation better than a new parent! The mattress of the Juca Cot can be raised to 3 defined levels, by a simple remote control, so avoiding the movements that creates pain. This is the first cot like this in the world, designed in Australia, it also meets all of the rigorous Australian safety standards. This is not, however, a piece of furniture that has been built for purely function, we’ve designed it to look at home in any modern nursery.
17.01.2022 Having spent so much time treating women just like me, Justin and I were frustrated by the statistic that 71% of women experience pregnancy related low back pain (Heather Pierce, 2010). I suffered back pain from mid pregnancy onwards. Like all women as my posture changed to accommodate my bump and my levels of the hormone, relaxin, increased so did a feeling of spinal instability and discomfort. Together he and I decided that we would create a proactive solution to this problem by developing a cot that made it easier for parents to lift their child out of bed, without causing strain on their lower back. Named after our four children’s initials, .., Juca Cot was born.
15.01.2022 Our own experiences have shaped and defined how we designed Juca Cot. We knew that manually adjustable height cots were outmoded, so we were determined that our solution should be simple and easy to use. Before becoming a parent, you don’t realise how much you’ll be bending, stretching and twisting to retrieve a baby that is just getting heavier and heavier out of their cot. Babies might start at approx 3 kgs each, but by 12 months old they’ll be pushing 6 kgs. That’s no small amount of weight to be lifting consistently, it’s no wonder that many new parents have back problems
