Belly Buds provide music and voices for the womb! A baby’s hearing is fully developed in the womb at 20 weeks and memories begin at 30 weeks – Bellybuds offer parents a means to deliver audio stimulation to their developing child to start creating those memories now. The custom speakers gently adhere to the belly and safely play music, soothing sounds or even loving voice messages from family and friends directly to the womb.  Easy-to-use and portable, they are wearable anywhere, anytime! Bellybuds are also a proactive option for moms with breech babies – instead of waiting and hoping that your baby will turn, wear Bellybuds low on the abdomen to encourage baby to turn to the head down position. They also designed the speakers’ volume to stop at a level that clinical researchers found to be safe for unborn children. At the loudest, the audio you play reaches the baby at a volume roughly the equivalent of a casual conversation, which is still lower than the sound of the mother’s heartbeat. http://www.bellybuds.com/

SBT Safety – MyCue™ Streamer
The MyCue ™ Streamer helps prevent human forgetfulness that “is” leading to children being accidentally left behind in cars by loving and responsible parents & caregivers usually after a sudden change in the family’s ‘Routine’  (mom and dad switch days on who takes the child to day care, a work schedule change, or squeezing in that extra stop or errand, etc.) On mild to hot days these mistakes often lead to tragic results. The device works in any car with an installed child safety seat. The MyCue ™ Streamer easily installs in seconds to any car seat; and adjusts to changes in car seat direction (forward or backward facing.) No electronics at all no electronics of any kind and the device does not interfere with the car seat’s operation.
The MyCue™ Streamer is unique because it is based on a proven aviation safety practice:  Just as capable and competent pilots use checklists each time they fly so they never forget a critical step; capable, competent parents and caregivers should use the MyCue™ Streamer as their one-step checklist each time they drive with a child.

Children have difficulty using spoons and forks because the bones and muscles in their hands and wrists are still developing. They are not able to easily rotate or handle conventional utensils.

The patent pending design of the Learn ‘N’ Turn utensil allows parents to adjust the angle of the spoon or fork attachment to help babies and toddlers feed themselves more easily.  Yes, the Learn ‘n’ Turn utensil has a bonus! It comes with both, a spoon and a fork attachment. Both attachments are easily rotated to whichever position is suitable for your baby to easily place food in his or her mouth. As your child grows, the Learn and Turn grows with them, allowing you to adjust the spoon or fork’s position as needed.

But the best thing about this utensil is that more food will end up in the little one’s mouth rather than on the floor, making clean up time quick and easy!

The BABYBJORN Baby Carrier Synergy represents maximum comfort in perfect harmony with light airiness.  It is made from an advanced breathable 3D mesh material that has been enhanced with a comfortable lower back support that relieves pressure and creates stability.

The baby carrier is easy to put on and take off without assistance and all adjustments are easily made from the front.  As with all our baby carriers, it was developed in collaboration with medical experts to suit newborns optimally.

The airy, breathable 3D mesh wicks moisture and heat away from you and your baby.  The mesh on the inside of the baby carrier is especially soft and feels comfortable against your child’s skin, while gently shaping itself to his or her body.

The enhanced lumbar support is individually adjusted and provides comfortable back stability.  The back support and the wide shoulder straps work together to provide maximum carrying comfort and relieve pressure.

The baby carrier has an ergonomic design that provides the proper support for your child’s head, back and hips from birth.  The head support is adjustable and can be folded down so that the child may be carried facing forward when he or she is a bit older and able to hold up his or her own head.

Simplisse Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion and Gia Angled Breastfeeding Pillow:

Breast feeding is one of the most important focuses for a new mom and it’s critical to have the right equipment!  These products make Mom’s life easier in her commitment to nourishing her new baby!

The Simplisse Double Electric Breastfeeding Companion is a life saver for the 80% of nursing mommies who have to pump at one time or another.  Without the right type of gear, pumping can

be extremely painful.  Traditional pumps use a suck a release technology, which can be very uncomfortable.  This pump was designed by lactation consultants and moms to feel like breastfeeding for painless pumping.  Using gentle compression technology and super-soft flexible breast cups, it mimics the motion of baby’s mouth so it doesn’t hurt.  Breastfeeding doesn’t hurt; pumping shouldn’t either.

The Simplisse Gia Angled Breastfeeding Pillow is the only angled nursing pillow on the market!  This unique design positions baby for better digestion and reduces the chances of reflux and ear aches for baby.   And it’s a continuous fit for both mom and baby because as baby grows, you simply turn pillow to provide the needed support during feeding.

TrueWomb:

When baby gets rest, mommy gets rest!  Modern research proves swaddling helps babies sleep better, and swaddled babies spend far more time asleep because they have fewer spontaneous awakenings.

The innovative swaddle design of TrueWomb mimics the comforting form and function of the uterus, letting baby stretch his legs, but always allowing him to return to the fetal position.  It also allows baby to move his arms up and down, while keeping them from moving out in the startle reflex.   TrueWomb even helps keep baby healthy by reducing colic symptoms and the risk  of SIDS.

UPPAbaby Vista Stroller:

The stylish UPPA Baby Vista stroller is part sports car/part SUV, designed to take Baby from infancy through the toddler years.  It includes both the bassinet and the reversible seat!  You can also purchase a car-seat adaptor and snap almost any car-seat into the frame!

The stroller comes in six stunning and totally on-trend colors and has all the extras—bug screens, SPF 50+ “paparazzi shields,” fully adjustable seat and handle, and it folds up in one easy motion!

You can also purchase the Bassinet stand separately so there’s no need to wake baby to move him, just snap the bassinet off the stroller and set it down on the stand.

Petunia Pickle Bottom’s Frolicking in Fez Boxy Backpack and Wanderlust Wallet:

The Frolicking in Fez Boxy Backpack is what every mom needs to stay organized on the go—and it’s super stylish!  It’s a Moroccan inspired print with hand embroidered details in PVC-Free material that is easy to wipe off and keep clean.

The Boxy Backpack has three strap options, offering great functionality—it can be worn as a backpack with the two shorter straps or across the shoulder with the longer messenger strap.  It can also be snapped to your stroller, using Stroller Clips (sold separately).  All three options allow mommy to be hands-free.

The Boxy Backpack is one of Petunia Pickle Bottom’s most popular diaper bags due to its convenient built in changing station with detachable changing pad (for easy cleaning) and endless number of functional pocket’s to meet the stylish parent’s every need.

The matching Frolicking in Fez Wanderlust Wallet is glazed and wipe-able.  It features easy zip-around access, lots of slots for photos, ID, credit cards, a large bill pocket, and a zippered coin purse.

TrueWomb™ Honored For Breakthrough Swaddling Product
TrueWomb Sleeping Swaddle™ Earns Coveted Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval

Austin, TX (March, 2011) – TrueWomb™, LLC, manufacturer of innovative and intuitive baby gear, is proud to announce its latest honor, the PTPA Winner’s Seal of Approval for the TrueWomb Sleeping Swaddle™. PTPA Media has North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community, with over 40,000 parents.This honor comes on the heels of TrueWomb’s win at the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association 2010 Innovation Awards in October.

TrueWomb was among many entries from across North America competing to earn the PTPA™ Seal. Because independent parent volunteers evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations. As a result, the PTPA Media™ Seal has quickly gained recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value. Their CEO, Sharon Vinderine has appeared on over 40 morning shows as a reliable source for the latest and greatest in family products. The media and parents alike trust the collective opinion that PTPA Media represents.

“We are thrilled to be selected by PTPA Media for this honor,” says TrueWomb CEO Brent Hollowell. “The fact that this award comes from real parents who tried and validated the TrueWomb Sleeping Swaddle themselves makes it especially meaningful.”

Reviewers rated TrueWomb highly for effectiveness, safety, ease of use, durability and quality. According to one PTPA reviewer of TrueWomb, “This product performed exactly as described. My daughter slept much better and for much longer while wearing this product versus the two others we’ve tried. AMAZING!”

The patent-pending TrueWomb system – the first of its kind – replicates the sensation of being inside the womb by controlling the movements of both arms and legs in a way never done before. Tested by parents and pediatricians, the TrueWomb system helps solve problems that many newborns and infants experience, such as sleep disruption and colic. The SwaddleTech™ Pouch – the cornerstone of the system – comfortably eases the legs into the fetal position while at rest, but allows the legs and hips to extend and stretch in the same way they do inside the womb. The upper system snugly keeps arms in place within the escape‐proof SecureSleeve™, while still allowing for natural movements. The adjustable ComfortWrap™ belt made from Soft and Flexible Velcro® creates a secure foundation at the waistline for the extension and retraction of the SwaddleTech Pouch.

The Sleeping Swaddle features lightweight, breathable four‐way stretch cotton to provide comfort and prevent overheating and is available in four sizes: Extra Small (XS) through Large (L), MSRP $39.99. TrueWomb also features as part of its unique two stage system, the World’s first and only Arms-Free Weaning Swaddle™ to help parents wean their babies from swaddling.
