Spring Pick #5


Lil Melon Knee Pads!

Babies are on the move! There might not be much you can do to stop them but at least you can protect those sensitive knees as they learn to crawl!
The winter clothes are coming off and spring clothing means more knee exposure for your little explorer. Protect those knees with these ADORABLE knee pads!

Amazingly bright vibrant trim colors. Ideal for carpet and outdoors.

Protect your baby’s knees with comfort and style with Lil’ Melon baby knee pads!
Lil’ Melon Baby Knee Pads have thick but light weight padding that maintains optimum cushioning while your baby explores the world. And the soft, stretchable cotton fabric moves with your baby as she crawls and toddles along.
Compared to leading brands on the market, Lil’ Melon Baby Knee Pads are not bulky and there are no straps to deal with. They are very light weight and easy to wear and take off, just like socks! The knee pads stay on the knees and do not slip off. And have open back for air ventilation and preventing discomfort during hot days.
Machine wash or spot wash them and you are done!
Size: 7months to 20months
Lil Melon Knee Pad No More Ouchies Baby Knee Pads With Silicone
*Lil Melon does not believe in overly covering your baby’s sensitive knees as she crawls. After testing other brands of baby knee pads, we feel that over protection on the knees may cause discomfort and inhibit flexible movements of babies. Lil' Melon Baby Knee Pads are very light, stretchy and comfortably shields only your baby's knees from possible bruises and scratches.


Lil' Melon baby knee pads are made with soft, stretchable cotton fabric that moves with your baby. It’s lightweight so it allows air ventilation, keeping their knees cool and preventing discomfort.
Most importantly, they keep your baby's sensitive knees from bruising and scraping as they crawl and toddle around indoors and outdoors.
The thick light weight padding maintains optimum cushioning while your baby explores their new world when learning to crawl. When they start toddling around, the cushioning prevents cuts and scrapes that can occur from falling and tripping.
Measurements: 5" tall by 2 5/8" wide. They're stretchy enough to fit bigger legs, but still small enough to fit snugly on more petite legs. Can fit toddlers up to 18months old depending on size and weight.
Washing Instructions: Very easy. You can spot wash them or throw them in with your laundry and you're done!
Learning their way around a big, new world can be a scary thing. Help keep your baby safe and comfortable while they explore with Lil' Melon baby knee pads!

Like many other products in the market, Lil’ Melon was born out of the frustration of a Mom and lil’ daughter who express their likes and dislikes very strongly.
“I want to develop products that I know would make both of us happy.” says Nancy Choe who is the founder of Lil Melon and Mother of a toddler girl.
Nancy first developed Lil’ Melon baby knee pads to help her baby daughter crawl and walk. A leading brand was too bulky and her baby had a hard time wearing them with every day clothes. Another brand was too loose and slipped off easily.

Lil Melon Knee Pad Butterfly Baby Knee Pads
Nancy thinks “getting bruises is just part of growing up and parents should not over-protect their children from what is natural. But sometimes you need to give your child an extra layer of protection to help them be more confident and mobile on their own.”
Tiles, cement and carpets are actually all part of our modern life and instead of constraining your baby with bulky knee pads or covering the floors with unhealthy PVC foams, why not use a light weight knee covering that can be worn and taken off easily like socks?
Lil’ Melon baby knee pads are light-weight, soft, and stretchy - allowing ventilation and comfort for your baby or toddler as they crawl, wobble and toddle, all the while preventing bruised and scraped knees. Lil’ melon products are designed to help babies acquire the confidence to be curious and venture around more comfortably.

Panda

The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family and among the world’s most threatened animals. Threatened both directly, by poachers, and indirectly, though a diminishing habitat due to human population growth, the future of the Giant Panda is still uncertain. As China’s population continues to grow, bamboo forests available to the Pandas dwindle and disappear. As the Panda’s diet is 90% bamboo, many simply starve. In addition, a low reproductive rate further hinders efforts at repopulation. Panda

The Chinese government has made great strides in setting aside reserves for these beautiful animals, and in fact have set aside approximately 2.5 million acres in an effort to protect the estimated 2,000 – 3,000 mature pandas currently in the wild.


ButterflyMonarch Butterflies have been admired for centuries both for their beauty and their amazing and lengthy annual migration. The Monarch is the only butterfly that migrates both north and south, traveling thousands of miles to reach warmer climates. Interestingly, no single individual makes the entire round trip. It takes up to 4 generations to complete a single annual journey.
Butterfly
Unfortunately, Monarch Butterflies are suffering the consequences of the destruction of their roosting grounds by logging operation, and the chemical destruction of the milkweed plant on which the female lays her eggs.

FrogThe Lemur Leaf Frog is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist basins, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marches.
Frog
Lemur Leaf Frogs are threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis, an infectious fungus disease of amphibians. The spread of chytridiomycosis and the subsequent declines of amphibian populations has been dramatically expedited by global warming.

Stroller fashion can be a tricky proposition. On the one hand you want something that is classic and appeals to a wide audience. On the other, you need something that is unique enough to appeal to a consumer’s sense of style; something that stands out above everything else on the market yet is not too “flashy”.

Baby Planet’s new Coco Lapin line of strollers has raised the delicate nature of such a balance to an art form.

Coco Lapin was conceived and designed by Leslie Newton, the founder and Chief Creative Officer of the upscale and meticulously fashioned timi & leslie® convertible diaper bags. Inspired by nature and vintage prints, Leslie looks to the outside world and then brings her raw ideas to her in-house artist for conceptualization. Developing a new design can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Coco Lapin "Mackenzie"

For the Coco Lapin line, Leslie drew from the abstract forms in nature to create the whimsical Mackenzie print. The Sahara is a Moroccan based print that Leslie loved for its classic simplicity.

Coco Lapin "Sahara"

The new Coco Lapin strollers come standard with a reversible, washable seat pad, PVC-free rain cover, cup holder and the lightweight yet safe, sturdy and durable aluminum frame for which Baby Planet has become known.

Unique features of The Plush Pad®:

  • Features a thick memory foam cushion that relaxes the baby by molding to his curves and relieving her tiny pressure points; baby will relish the experience of being changed;

  • Machine washable and water-resistant.

  • Wash the cover much like a pillowcase whenever it needs cleaning (the memory foam insert can be easily removed prior to washing;

  • The Plush Pad® rolls open with no creases - no need to fiddle;

  • Plenty of wiggle room (approximately 2 ft. x 2 ft.) for the baby, yet ultimate portability to easily fit in one's diaper bag, suitcase, or to store away when not being used.

Memory FoamDifferent Ways The Plush Pad® Can Be Used:

  • Some use it as their only changing surface if they are looking to conserve space;

  • Leave it open during hotel stays for weeks at a time as a changing station;

  • Great for tummy time when baby begins to practice lifting themselves and general lounging/exercise for infant/parent classes;

  • Leave it at the grandparents for a comfortable change when they watch the grandkids;

  • Toss it in the back of the stroller or the car for a quick change while on the road;

  • Take it to the beach or park, so baby can relax on a soft and cozy surface;

  • Replace the plastic/vinyl changing pad in one's diaper bag withThe Plush Pad®, for a really comfortable daily change for baby.

Overall, you will find The Plush Pad® 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.

An Overview of The Plush Pad®

White Taslan Inner CoverThe 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 (5/8th 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).

Ah Goo BabyThe 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®!

http://www.ahgoobaby.com/cms/images/press/print/page/YP_March2008_plush2.jpgCelebs Love it!

The Plush Pad® is now owned by a growing list of high-profile, celeb parents who have recently welcomed (or will welcome) babies into their lives - including Rebecca Romjin (recent request for her baby shower), Jessica Alba (who has 2), Naomi Watts, Rebecca Romjin, Toni Collette, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Dempsey, Allison Sweeney, Samantha Harris, Jenna Elfman, Marcia Cross (who also has 2), Amanda Peet, Jason Priestly, Jamie Pressley, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Kristy Swanson, and more.
