Best & Hottest
Products

Every mom will receive a goody bag that
includes
a
dwink universal drink box holder and
a pair of
BabyLegs!
The dwink box was
invented by a mom who was tired of telling
her kids, "careful, don't squeeze it, don't
squeeze it!"
This great holder is perfectly safe in the
dish washer, has a non-skid bottom,
easy-to-grip handles and it comes in a great
array of colors.
Here's to making our lives just a little bit
less messy!
   We've
got the cutest little
BabyLegs!
These fashionable leg covers
won't outgrow baby and most fit newborn
to size 10! Plus, they have so many
uses!
BabyLegs mesmerize young babies who find the
patterns on their legs very interesting.
BabyLegs worn under pants cover that bit of
skin without the fun of having to wrestle
tights on and off a girl. They are great
knee pads for the active crawler. When
Tia Carrere
was on Oprah recently, her daughter
Bianca wore her
BabyLegs
on her arms- another cute use. We have no
doubt that you will find even more uses for
this great item! |
Every mom will take home a "best &
hottest" product (get the details on how
moms will choose):
* colors & patterns may vary and products
are subject to change |

 People
are talking -
Mutsy is the "hottest"
stroller to hit the streets!
There are many reasons why
Design-savvy celebrity Heidi
Klum
chose
a Spider! The Mutsy
Spider is
revolutionary in design technology with all the benefits of
a lightweight buggy. The eye catching three-wheel design
frame supports a fashionable reclining seat unit available
in a range of color options. The Spider folds with ease
into an incredibly
compact unit for storage or transportation and
comes with its own stylish carry bag making it ideal for
traveling with baby. Swivel front wheels make pushing
Spider a breeze. Other features include superb seat
recline, height adjustable handle, matching shoulder pads
and a five-point harness.  A large hood and basket are
included along with a matching rain cover. |

 Tripp
Trapp® from Stokke™, the children’s chair that grows with
the child™ and allows baby to sit at the family table.
We
absolutely adore this innovative
and trendy chair that allows
children as young as 6 months to
join the family table.
It’s sturdy and gives perfect
support at every stage. An
adjustable seat and
footrest give proper
support,
and
 the
confidence
to move around freely.

 Graco
AirBooster™, the seat your
kids will love sitting in.
Unlike other boosters, the
AirBooster™ has a patented
FLEX-Comfort suspension seat
with flexible
micro-adjustable material
that adapts to your child’s
weight and size, reducing
pressure points and
providing an exact fit every

 Function
meets style with these
innovative products by
Playspot
by
Skip*Hop is a
beautiful and innovative
soft floor surface
that keeps your child
comfortable and happy,
while complementing your
home’s decor. With
its variety of neutral
and designer tile
colors, it’s the perfect
addition to the
contemporary home or
nursery. Large in size
and large in style, it
makes a great cushiony
area for playing. The
best part is that,
unlike other foam tiles
that are only
safety-rated for
children 3 and up,
Skip*Hop’s Playspot is
designed, tested and
manufactured for
children of all ages.
It’s easy to put
together with a unique
connector
system, and you can
configure it in endless
ways to fit your
style.
Splash by
Skip*Hop
is a modern bottle
drying rack that is the
perfect addition to any
kitchen. Its space
saving circular design
keeps all of baby’s
feeding accessories off
the counter, and the
included brush makes
cleaning quick and easy.
The unique
shelf
is perfect for nipples,
straws, valves and other
small items.
Skip*Hop's
Toolbox diaper caddy
is the answer to clutter
in the contemporary baby
room. The caddy
holds up to a dozen
diapers and a wide
assortment of creams,
ointments, cotton balls
and other necessities
and keeps them close at
hand. With the
built-in-handle, it can
easily be moved from
bedroom to bathroom to
any other room in the
house. Two side pockets
are removable and two
drawers –
 accessible
from either side – hold
essential sundry items.
Heading out for a long
day with baby? The
Skip*Hop
triple bottle bag
is insulated with 3M
THINSULATE(tm) to keep
three bottles or sippy
cups cold for up to four
hours. It also makes a
great bag for baby's
snacks and converts to a
backpack! The
single bottle bag
is a great space-saver -
clip it to your
 stroller
or drop it in a bag and
you're good to go!
Ingenious - a diaper bag
that hangs on the
stroller (without
tipping it) instead of
banging into your legs
or straining your
already aching shoulder.
Even we have a hard time
calling it a diaper bag.
With form and
function perfectly
merged together, the
Dash sports a hip, urban
style that nearly
disguises its great
functionality. The
Dash has all the
innovative features
Skip*Hop is
famous for – from its
numerous pockets to its
ability to convert from
a messenger bag into a
stroller bag. Available
in a huge assortment of
color combinations, its
lightweight, sturdy
poly-canvas will last
for years. It’s the
perfect adornment for
hip, fashionable
parents, while also
serving as the ideal
add-on to any stroller
via its unique stroller
straps. Ten roomy
pockets provide ample
room for everything a
baby needs, and a
zippered compartment
protects mom and dad’s
personal items from wet
and messy things.

love? The clever design features
