The products we carry were invented by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, even kids themselves because what they needed either did not exist or did not work as they wanted it to. These companies started out small in the proverbial, and often literal, garage. Some of the companies grew and created new products and lines.

We are looking for products that solve problems. We started out needing a blanket that would stay attached to a toddler's stroller or car seat, and grew form there. Most of our products will make you thump your head and exclaim, Gee, why didn't I think of that?

Our products need to be better than what is out there. We want things that really work, that may have multiple uses or functions, that make your parenting life easier. We want our toys to be open ended and engaging. When we first added a toy line we were frustrated that most of our toys also fit under the "Educational" category. Then we thought, so what is wrong with toys that let you have fun and sneak learning in, too?

You will not see a millions different nursing covers, slings, strollers, sheets, clothes or shoes here. You will not find many things that require batteries, and nothing that will shriek and make mechanical noises when bumped, tipped, or even played with. The only shrieking we want is from your children when they're having a blast playing with out toys!

We ask that inventors and manufacturers be patient with us. We add new products around Toy Fair, Gift Fair and ABC. There hasn't been a show in years that didn't leave us with a stack of additional products to add as time and space permit. It can take us a little while to add everything that we wish to carry.
