The name Roo was inspired by the young kangaroo character in Winnie-the-Pooh, a classic children's story series. Roo was a fun character who hopped and played alongside Pooh and other friends, often getting into messes and situations.You may have your own version of Roo in your home, be it a young child or a pet. The idea is that even if your Roo makes a mess on the rug, it can be easily cleaned in the washing machine!
