Who We Are

Wander Wear® Inc.’s mission is to prevent kids from getting lost by developing practical and affordable product solutions.  All Wander Wear products are tested to be both kid and parent friendly.  The products feature Whizzly™, the company’s fun purple monster who loves to wander!

Wander Wear was founded by experienced businesswoman and mompreneur, Alyssa Dver. In 2002, Dver attended a Boston Red Sox game at crowded Fenway Park with her then 3-year-old son and niece. It seemed logical that the children should be equipped with her cell phone number to assist the children if one got lost. However, there were no practical ways to do this. After three years of research and consistent consumer demand, Dver decided to leave her senior executive position at a public software company and focus full-time on Wander Wear. Now as the National Director of The Center to Prevent Lost Children (CPLC) she remains a chief advisor to Wander Wear.

Wander Wear products are available through select retail stores, the company website, and at safety events and presentations. The products are often used for fundraisers and to help drive donations for charities and other non-profit groups. Wander Wear products make unique and attractive promotional giveaways for companies seeking to expose their brand repeatedly in a very a positive, useful way. 

Wander Wear is supported by the MA Safety Officers League, The National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), and The Massachusetts FreeMasons.  Wander Wear is frequently featured in the media including: BusinessWeek, Forbes, Entrepreneur, FOX TV Boston & Providence, NBC TV Boston, ABC TV Boston, CBS TV New York, The Boston Globe, The NY Daily News, NPR, VoiceAmerica, Mom Talk Radio, LA Family, NY Parent Guide, Piedmont Parent, Sacramento Parent,  NY Newsday, The Worcester News, Comcast News, Travelocity, and many others.
