following:
A
toothbrush with a silicone shield that
protects from over-insertion in baby's mouth
- ingenious!
The
RaZbaby RaZ-a-Dazzle was invented

hurting baby by brushing gums and teeth!

 What's
all the rage in New York and making its way
to Texas?
WaddaJuice and
WaddaBlast are all-natural,
healthy, on-the-go juice beverages made
especially for kids! This may be the end of
the juice controversy. Wadda is nutritious
and simple - just pure juice and purified
wate r,

recyclable, spill-proof bottle that kids
love and parents can’t live without.
 For
the
Budding Family,

 An
adorable, one-of-a-kind announcement card

excitement while addressing the
anticipation, anxiety and limited
understanding of what it really means to
transition into a Big Brother or Big Sister. |

If you consider your style
distinct and love to
personalize your lifestyle,
we have the stroller that you
can make your own. From infant
to toddler, in the city, the
woods or on the beach, the
Bugaboo
Cameleon lets you take the
road less traveled (and look
great doing it). With a
height-adjustable handlebar,
adjustable swivel wheel
suspension for different
terrains, car seat adaptability,
super-supportive Aerosleep®
mattress,

your stroller when the mood
takes you, you can change your Cameleon's color scheme in

growing, you can personalize the
Cameleon for each child; choose

occasions and holidays, or maybe
even flash your hometown colors
at a local sports team's big
game. This stroller is made with
the very best materials
available, loaded with the
latest innovations in stroller
design, and crammed with
conveniences. The Cameleon
is truly the most customizable

infancy to 40 pounds.

 Diaper
changes a chore? It's no wonder
- trying to put a diaper on a
baby laying sideways is never
easy. We found a way for parents
to change diapers more easily,
and to bond with baby while
doing it!
With
STOKKE®
CARE™, you can face your
child while you're changing
them. This makes the job easier,
and encourages eye contact and
interaction between you and your
child, allowing you to bond also
while changing.
The idea behind
the unique hour-glass design of
STOKKE®
CARE™ changing table is to
give the baby freedom of
movement without sacrificing
safety. Parents also benefit
-
STOKKE®
CARE™ is adjustable with two
different working levels to fit
any size user. With less bending
over, you reduce the strain on
your back and shoulders, and
also have better control of the
always active child. STOKKE®
CARE™
will also adjust
as your child grows.
And the best part
- you don't have to store the
table in the attic between
children. As your child grows
out of the changing table unit,
STOKKE®
CARE™ can be converted into a
small desk. The desk shape and
size is ideal for two children
to play games on, paint or draw.
Later STOKKE®
CARE™ can also be used as a
bookshelf, CD rack, TV table or
a combination of them all. By
adding a separate extended
tabletop (additional parts sold
separately), STOKKE®
CARE™ can be converted into a
larger school desk.

 The
Nautilus™ 3-in-1 car seat
by
Graco
offers a precise
fit to help protect growing children from ages 1 to 10. As
your child grows, Nautilus™ adapts from harness protection
for children up to 65 lbs. to a high-back booster for 30 to
100 lbs., then a backless booster for 40 to 100 lbs. It’s a
great value, providing versatility without compromising on
safety.
The
only car seat in
the market rated to 65-lb harness that can also convert to
backless booster for longer use,
this is the last car seat
you'll need after a rear-facing infant car seat!
Cool
features include 3-position recline, one-hand height-adjustable
head rest, two soft-touch overmolded  armrests
for comfort with
cupholder and easy-access side storage for comfort and
convenience.

Portamee is a
stylish baby carrier,
comfortable, hands free and
ergonomic for baby wearing
adults carrying an infant as
young as a 6 wks / 8 lbs and
up to a 35lb child. The

ergonomic design supports
your back so you can
carry a
baby
comfortably while looking
sleek and beautiful. The
easy to wear award winning
and innovative baby
carriers have strategically
placed pockets so Moms,
Dads and
caregivers
can ditch the
diaper bag and carry a
baby hands-free.

If you haven't seen any
Boon products, get ready
to be blown away by their
innovation and design. We
start with the
appropriately-named Flair,
a revolutionary new highchair,
combining innovative features
with distinctive modern style.
Flair’s exclusive
chemical-resistant, waterproof
pad provides a soft cushion and
is easily removable for
cleaning. Flair is equipped with
an adjustable-position, compact
tray, as well as top-quality
safety features including a
five-point harness and
restraining post. The sturdy
pedestal base gives Flair a
unique form that is easy to
clean and that slides smoothly
under tables. Flair glides in
any direction on six urethane
casters that will not scratch
floors, while the hands-free
braking system easily locks the
chair in place. Flair’s
pneumatic lift allows for
continuous height positioning,
making it easy to adjust the
seat to the perfect height.
Does your child have too many
stuffed animals? The Boon
Animal Bag is a fun and
practical solution for rounding
up all those soft critters and
putting them to work. The Animal
Bag is an oversized, plush bag
that's covered with large,
zippered windows made out of
transparent, durable mesh.
Children can fill the bag with
stuffed animals of all sizes,
and then use the Animal Bag as a
soft seat. Made from high
quality, breathable fabrics, the
Animal Bag is machine washable,
or it can be dry-cleaned. In
addition to solving the stuffed
animal
 storage
dilemma, the Animal Bag is
earth-friendly because - unlike
most beanbag chairs - it does
not require any foam fillers.
The Frog Pod helps with
children’s bath time clean-up,
providing a drainable
scoop for collecting and rinsing
toys and a wall-mounted base for
storing bath products. It attaches
to the bathtub wall with one of
three options: adhesive strips,
suction cups, or screws.
The Frog Pod makes bath time
clean-up fun & easy, stores &
organizes bath accessories and
reduces mold & mildew.

 In
a country where the obesity epidemic has affected thousands,
and increased diseases like Type 2 diabetes, and
cardiovascular disease, the importance of being physically
active at an early age cannot be underestimated. Studies
have shown that being physically active at an early age can
increase self-esteem, build confidence, and helps build a
foundation for success in all areas of a child’s life – not
just fitness.
athleticBaby was founded by a mom in search of a
video alternative that introduced a healthy, active
lifestyle for her infant. The DVDs spark a child's desire to
be physically active, and engage babies and toddlers alike
in the world of athletics,
and play. Experts and parents are cheering this imaginative
new video series. |

It's easier to learn language
skills at a higher level earlier
in life than it is later in
life. So why wait until your
child is in Kindergarten? The
Your Baby Can Read!
program encourages infants and
toddlers to naturally learn the
written word at the same time as
they are learning the spoken
word. The Easy-to-use 5 DVD and
word card set teaches your child
whole language and phonics using
a
combination of sound, sight, and
interaction. This multi-sensory
technique
helps a child grasp word
recognition – leading to early
reading success. |

 Mealtime can be a nightmare
for parents when toddlers
finally attempt feeding
themselves without help from
mom and dad. Most of the
food (and sometimes even the
plate) ends up on the floor
or on the wall rather than
in their hungry little bellies!
Dream Baby®’s new
Stay-Put Cutlery + Bowl dishware set not only
prevents children from
dropping or tossing their
utensils but also helps the
child master self-feeding. By limiting the area from
the bowl to the mouth, the
utensils make it easier for
children to control the
movement. The memory coils
gently tug the child’s hand
back to
the bowl, helping
him recognize the steps. This repetitive action
naturally mimics the
inherent reflexes of
children and helps give them
the additional control
necessary to achieve
independent feeding.
Where was this product 4
years ago?!
Dream
Baby®’s
De-humidifying Dry Egg™ helps remove excess moisture
and dampness from the air,
to put mold, mildew and
other musty odors at bay.
The Dry Egg™ is
perfect for the baby’s
nursery, bathrooms,
kitchens, laundries and even
closets.
It
does not require batteries
or electricity, instead
using an internal chemical
that pulls the water and
humidity from the air. The
egg fits into a holder that
has an indicator which
changes
colors – Blue
if the room is Dry or
Pink if the room is
Wet – or has
excessive humidity.
Traveling
with little ones is always a
challenge. Whether by car or
plane, make your child more
comfortable with these
adorable Winnie the
Pooh-themed neck pillows by
Dream Baby®.

neck for added comfort.

the corner. |

joys of childhood."

"active" experimentation and

themselves as they

creativity. |
