See Kai Run® is a family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington. The idea 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, cutting edge styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, she created her own line of shoes along with her husband that satisfied all of these needs. In November 2004, See Kai Run shoes began arriving in specialty children’s boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area. The response was phenomenal. Parents echoed what she knew all along – there was an unmet need for stylish baby shoes that had flexible soles for outdoors. www.seekairun.com Win a pair of See Kai run shoes of your own!

When co-founders Dana and Tamar became moms, they found a market full of “baby-friendly” products – from gentle laundry detergent for babies’ clothes, to mild shampoo for babies’ hair. But there was nothing specific for the very items their babies put into their mouths each day: their

bottles, cups, and dishes. The dish soap products they used left a synthetic fragrance behind, and they were always concerned about lingering suds. They also noticed a persistent odor and film on bottles that conventional dish liquids never fully removed. So they had an idea. What if there was a dish soap that could easily remove the residue and odor from breast milk, formula, and baby food? That was low foam and rinsed easily? That was natural-based and biodegradable? With the help and hard work of several experienced pediatricians and a team of seasoned green chemists, Dapple was born. www.dapplebaby.com

When Claire Ekelund gave birth to her second daughter in 2003, she was proud to be an active nursing mom but recognized that, once again, nursing in public was going to be challenging. Like many nursing moms on-the-go, Claire was quickly reminded of how difficult it is to gracefully feed a wriggling baby and hold a blanket in position. She searched high and low for a solution, but found that nursing covers on the market at the time were clinical, impractical, and difficult to find. Leaving the room to feed Baby in privacy seemed the only alternative, yet this was not always an option. Claire decided to create her own nursing cover, the Hooter Hider (dubbed so by an outspoken male friend): an easy-to-use, machine washable, multi-purpose stylish

cover designed with Baby and Mom in mind. The difference between the patent-pending Hooter Hider and other nursing covers is the rigid neckline allowing Mom and Baby unobstructed eye contact during feeding and other thoughtful features such as a small-item storage and clean-up pocket made from the softest terry cloth. www.bebeaulait.com

Bob Schwartz reminds us of the necessity, no matter how harried or confusing things are, to appreciate the humor in the day-to-day nature of family life. Bob gives parents a reason to laugh as he navigates the unexpected twists and turns of parenthood every mom and dad has experienced - such as that feeling of panic when you hear the toilet being flushed and immediately followed by your child's less than reassuring yell of "Uh-oh!" Or the admonition to your five-year-old of, "No, you can't have the leftover cotton candy for breakfast, even if you do pour milk over it."www.glenbridgepublishing.com

Time to revolutionize the way babies drink bottles! For the past decades, moms and dads struggle to keep the tender necks of their babies milk free. With the invention of the traditional bib inroads have been made at the attempt to keep babies clean during bottle feeding, but the frustrating problem still exists... until now. The Scrunch Bottle Bib® is the new revolutionary way to protect infants from spillage during bottle feeding. Catching the drips and spills that traditional bibs leave behind, the Scrunch Bottle Bib® attaches to the bottle instead of the infant and catches spills BEFORE they reach the tender neck area.

Each year, millions of children face danger and injury because of being left in vehicles unattended. As parents ourselves, we understand that we all have busy schedules and so many things going on that it becomes easy to lose track of who is watching the child. Our static cling car window decal is a simple reminder to you, that your child could still be in the back seat. Never forget that a quiet or sleeping child is in the car. Sometimes all

it takes is just a note! When your routine changes or when someone else is dropping off your child, here is the reminder you need to check the seats 'anyway'. Talking with a friend in the parking lot, an open window will let the car breathe and keep the little ones safe. And when you've locked the door and you're about to walk away... the Double Check is a reminder saying, "hey, did you forget someone important?" It's the kind of reminder that could save the life of your child. www.emmasinspirations.com
