The drivers are screened and they have their own car seats which saves a lot of hassle.” ~Blanca "I work full time so I thought I'd have to skip opportunities for my kids that are off site from school/after-school care...so finding out about Kango was great! My son, who is often tentative with new people and processes, is completely comfortable and enjoys the rides (and story times!) with the driver." ~Leah G. FROM KANGO DRIVERS: "I love being a part of the Kango family, especially driving the little ones ...I can interact directly with parents in the app and schedule my rides ahead of time. It's an app with a human touch." ~Stassa “Having two teenage kids of my own, I drove my kids to school myself for years...I do this for Kango now and it puts a smile on my face. I'm grateful to be able to continue this very important work.” ~Lola FROM THE PRESS: "They say it takes a village to raise a child, but an app called Kango is bringing that idiom into the 21st century [… ] Kango is going to make parents' lives much easier." --Business Insider "Parents will like this app, but kids who used to get stuck waiting for a ride home will love it." --Techcrunch
