An Overview of The Plush Pad®

The Plush Pad® by Ah Goo Baby® services the sophisticated and discerning mom on the go who wants her baby to be comfortable and clean, while giving herself the satisfaction of retaining a flair for good taste.

The Plush Pad® has redefined its product category as the only hybrid changing station marrying permanent and portable use. It is an impressive, upgrade to the traditional, permanent changing station with the incorporation of a memory foam cushion (5/8^th of an inch thick), providing superior comfort and support for baby while enabling ultimate portability for the on-the-go parent with a patented rolling design (22 inch x 22 inch square dimension when open and 10 inch x 3 inch cylinder when closed).

The Plush Pad® can be used in the home 24/7 as a second station (or perhaps as the only changing surface for those looking to conserve space in smaller living environments), taken on trips as a cherished changing surface in hotel rooms, stays with the grandparents, and any other long term travel. Another popular use is during tummy time and Mommy & Me classes when the baby begins to practice lifting their weight up with their arms or just needs a soft spot to exercise or relax. The Plush Pad® is also used for daily outings as a staple in a diaper bag or back of a stroller. This is the only product in the marketplace that offers such a broad spectrum of utility. When not in use it can also be easily stored in a drawer or closet.

The Plush Pad® takes a piece of the nursery with you by combining all of the comfort of a permanent changing station with the portability of a changing pad. Parents make a huge investment into their child's nursery to achieve both comfort and style. With today's active lifestyles, parents are looking for that same comfort and style while out of the home and on-the-go. The Plush Pad® accomplishes that, which sets it apart from the rest. Style meets practical. Baby meets plush.

Sure, there are portable vinyl and plastic pads available in all sorts of gimmicky shapes or that come in your diaper bag as a freebie, but they are all still cold, hard, and meant to be wiped down with a sponge. We know there is a market for parents who demand comfort for their infants as well as portability.

Design: The common changing pad is designed with a folding fashion in mind. These folds leave awful creasing which seems to keep the pad caving in on itself. This can be irritating when all a parent wants to do is lay their baby down for a quick change. The Plush Pad® addresses this issue by rolling open much like a yoga mat. You simply slip off the fastening loops and The Plush Pad® rolls open easily, ready to welcome your baby.

Styles: The 2009 line of The Plush Pad® offers thirteen (13) great styles – Spa, Bloom, Blueberry, Morocco, High Tea, Earth In Violet, Earth, Salsa, Retro-Daisy, Vintage in Blue, Zoo Frenzy, Charleston, and Poppy. An alternate line called “Bubbles” will come out this summer (3 styles called Bubbles In Cola, Bubbles In Juice, and Bubbles in Water) and will be made available to big box retailers as a more value-priced alternative to the above boutique fabrics.

Mom-Invented

Ah Goo Baby® founder, Karin Telegadis, was constantly frustrated by the changing pads offered in even her most high-end diaper bags and also tired of getting resourceful with changing surfaces while traveling with her babies. Several events inspired her:

• It didn’t matter how expensive the diaper bag - all of the pads were made of vinyl and were stiff and cold. It was more desirable to risk my pashmina wrap as a changing surface, than to bother digging for the changing pad in my diaper bag. Never seemed worth the hassle. My kids always squirmed, rolled off of it, or were generally irritated by the lack of comfort.

• With a flight of stairs between the kitchen and my baby’s nursery, I set up a second changing station on the first level to avoid treks up and down for every diaper change; but the bulky foam station was an eyesore and eventually rubbed the finish off of my dining room table. I realized from friends with smaller living spaces in New York that something comfortable yet portable could allow them to also reclaim counter space without sacrificing their baby’s comfort.

• All of the trips taken during my children’s’ infant phase would have been much more pleasant with The Plush Pad®. Being in a hotel room can be trying for anyone with an infant. You wish it could feel like home, but it’s difficult to replicate your baby’s nursery. Most times, I’d resort to a towel as a changing station or get stuck using the sticky vinyl pad 24/7 during the trip.

• Then came the in-laws. Have they not already paid their dues raising us? Now they have to set up a complete nursery for when the grandkids visit? In most cases, grandparents want to keep their guest room, a guest room – not a nursery. Wouldn’t they love to be able to lay out a luxurious changing station for their beloved grandchild, yet compactly store it when there is no need for it?

• All of the Music Together and My Gym classes would have been a pleasure with The Plush Pad®. Having a soft and clean surface for my infant to lounge and exercise on would have been a great alternative to the plastic mats and hard wood covering the floors.

• At home when my children were about 6 months old, they began flipping over on their bellies and lifting themselves up on their elbows and hands. Our rugs were abrasive, and blankets were never quite "cushiony" enough to keep them comfortable and safe from chin-falls after failed attempts to prop themselves up. Comfort and safety applies here with The Plush Pad®!
