About Us
Over 14 years ago, Cole Galloway, a physical therapy professor at the University of Delaware, modified a ride-on toy car for a young child with severe mobility challenges. He used PVC pipe, swimming pool noodles and a few nuts and bolts to modify the vehicle. The results…were REMARKABLE!
Galloway founded GoBabyGo as a program to get children with Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy and other mobility-limiting conditions moving on their own with modified ride-on cars. Due to the popularity of this program, groups throughout the world—the GoBabyGo Nation—make mobility devices accessible, affordable and easy to use through local workshops.
The S.M.I.L.E. nonprofit (status pending) organization works in parallel with these programs to provide funding for mobility options like these modified ride-on cars for children in need. The structure of our organization virtually eliminates administrative costs and puts dollars into action, making every dollar of your donation count!
Become a member of our team, as together we can provide the resources to help these children improve their abilities through enhanced mobility. Our partners include:

Go Baby Go is a national, community-based research, design and outreach program that provides modified ride-on cars to children birth to age 3 who experience limited mobility. The program began in 2012 with founder Cole Galloway at the University of Delaware. Integrating assistive technology, families, clinicians and industry partners, the program provides children with disability the opportunity for movement, mobility and socialization and has been expanding ever since.
