Career
Moore was a pediatric nurse by training, and, following humanitarian work in Germany and Morocco, she was one of the earliest volunteers for the Peace Corps. Finding this method to be ineffective, as the child would slip, Moore and her mother, Agnes Lucille Aukerman, developed a backpack harness that would become the forerunner to the Snugli. The Snugli was patented in 1969.
Moore"s modifications to the infant carrier resulted in additional patents.
In 1988 and 1989, she was issued patents for the Air Lift, a backpack carrier for portable oxygen dispensers.
