Retail Price:  $34.00

See Kai Run shoes are hand-crafted from supple sheepskin with padded collars and a breathable leather lining. Soles are constructed from extremely flexible rubber allowing new walkers lots of freedom to move while protecting their feet on all kinds of terrain.

A family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington, the idea for See Kai Run was born when owner Cause Haun was on a quest for the perfect first pair of shoes for her son, Kai. Unable to find shoes in fun styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, Cause and her husband created their own line of shoes along that satisfied all of these needs. In just three years, See Kai Run has seen sales expand from a few boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area, to stores all around the country and worldwide. See Kai Run shoes fit children from six months to three years. 

   

No Slippy Hair Clippy
www.hairclippy.com
Provided: Non-slip hair accessories® featuring a patent pending hair clip that stays in baby fine hair! French Clippy:  A French Clip that is a non-slip clip for older girls and women.
No Slip headbands for babies to girls!
Retail Price: $7.00 – $20.00

No Slippy Hair Clippy was started by a Mom who was frustrated with her hair accessory choices for her infant daughter.  Nothing would stay in her baby girls hair, and for safety reasons, she wanted to find something cute, but also safe.  So that’s how the idea for No Slippy Hair Clippy was invented…using soft velvet on a pinch clip with a tiny magnet tucked underneath, this insured a clip that would stay in fine hair and would not fall out. This patent pending hair clip has started the rage with “no slip” hair accessories in the marketplace, but nobody covers the quality or selection as our No Slippy brand.  All hand-made here in the US, we unsure our products are beautifully crafted and made to order and we only use the finest materials and trims from around the world.

We believe that the path to healthy living starts at home and we are committed to creating educational tools that enhance, empower and educate the whole family.

The SnackerTracker ® is a nutritional tracking system that makes it easy - and fun - for busy parents to make sure their children are eating well-balanced diets, learning how to make healthy nutritional choices and finding great ways for the whole family to become active. The SnackerTracker ® Nutritional Tracking System comes with a SnackerTracker® magnet that sticks to your refrigerator, the SnackerTracker® Nutritional Guide that provides parents with detailed information about the nutritional needs of children at each stage of development and a dry erase marker that sticks to the refrigerator for easy tracking.

More importantly, the SnackerTracker ® empowers kids to track their food and exercise choices daily, while the Nutritional Guide takes the guess work out of nutrition for parents.


Medela

Provided:   Medela Breastmilk Bottles
MSRP: 1pk bottle $4.99/3pk bottles $14.99 www.MedelaBPAFree.com

Company/Product Info:Medela, the #1 choice of Hospitals and Mothers, offers a full line of BPA-free solutions for mom. This is especially important for breastfeeding moms concerned about Bispehnol-A, BPA.  Many of the breastpump kit parts – the breast shield, connectors, valves, and collection containers – will touch breastmilk before it reaches baby.  That is why Medela offers BPA-free bottles and more.  You can rest assured that every part of a Medela breastpump kit that touches breastmilk is BPA-free.  Every Medela breastpump kit offers this assurance including the breastpump that moms have been waiting for – Freestyle, Medela’s revolutionary hands-free double-electric, rechargeable breastpump.

We know that once baby arrives, you will want to do everything you can to give your baby the very best nutrition.  We also understand just how busy you’ll be.  With Freestyle you’ll have the freedom and mobility to handle whatever comes your way.  Whether it’s tending to your newborn, running after toddlers, or just reading a book, Freestyle allows you to control your pumping, not your pump controlling you.

It’s easy to use and so portable.  Weighing less than one pound, Freestyle fits in the palm of your hand.  It is small yet powerful and includes Medela’s 2-Phase Expression® technology using stimulation and expression phases which research shows actually mimics the way your baby suckles at the breast.  The Freestyle’s one-touch let-down button also allows for faster milk flow.

With Freestyle you will have the power of a full-size double electric pump, and it is the only double-electric breastpump with rechargeable battery.  You are no longer tethered to a wall while pumping.  Now you have the freedom to move when and where you wish.
Medela BPA-free products and Medela breastpumps are available at many convenient retail locations – including Babies R Us and Target.  For other locations near you visit www.medelabpafree.com.

Parking Pal
www.parkingpalmagnet.com
Provided:Parking Pals
Retail: $7.99

Company/Product Info:My name is Denise Whitney, my occupation is a RN and for the past 10 years I have worked in labor and delivery helping bring children into the world.  I'm 36 years old and the mother of 3 young boys. Taking my kids shopping always posed a significant safety problem in parking lots. With drivers of SUVS and other large vehicles having an increasingly difficult time seeing young children around their vehicle, and children rarely paying attention to their surroundings, there was a real potential for injury to children in parking lots. I continued to think about ways to keep my boys safer in the parking lot situation. Along with the birth of my third child in 2006, came the birth of the Parking Pal. www.parkingpalmagnet.com

The Parking Pal is placed on the side of your vehicle and can remain there. It was   specifically designed with bright colors, playful illustration and a small palm children love to place their hand on. With a couple of learning sessions the child will discover this is their safe spot the second they step out of their vehicle or upon returning to the vehicle. It also helps teach them responsibility in parking lots and around moving vehicles.

Loading or unloading packages, rifling for keys, tending to the baby any number of things can and will distract us away from our children in parking lots, it's a disastrous combination, and it only takes seconds for a tragedy to occur.

I help bring children into the world and I want to help keep them safer. Injury and deaths are happening to children in parking lot. Parents need to be made aware that any parking lot could be an unsafe and potentially dangerous place for their children. I am hoping the Parking Pal will heighten their awareness, and also keep their children safer.

Mr. David’s Jump in the Jumpy House  -  CD
      www.mrdavidmusicworks.com
      
      Jump in the Jumpy House is the latest CD from award–winning family musician Mr. David. A favorite among kids and parents alike, Mr. David's creates music for all ages that is unashamedly rock 'n roll and unlike anything you've heard before. Kids absolutely love it.
      
      Warren Truitt of Children's Music That Rocks says of him: he's "a kids' performer who's not afraid to stretch out in the words and music departments, and one can only imagine what's in the future for this guy if his albums keep getting this much better every time out. John, Paul, George, and Ringo would be proud."
      
      A follow-up to the popular The Great Adventures of Mr. David, (which was named one of the country's Top 10 Albums for Kids and Families), Jump in the Jumpy House shows us that music for kids can be original, deeply entertaining and just plain rock'n.
      
      With his latest CD, Mr. David lives up to his reputation as “the champion of imagination and observation.” His beat-poet style and stream-of-consciousness lyrics are backed by solid musicianship that features catchy melodies, bold guitars, beat-driven bass lines and solid back beats. Each song (in classic Mr. David style) challenges us to take another look at the world, from the monkeys in the zoo to the stars in the cosmos.
      
      Jump in the Jumpy House is wildly different from the folk sounds of The Great Adventures, but that’s just typical of Mr. David—to always give us something new.
