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!

Handcrafted out of 100% cotton designer fabrics, The Little Lasso is as functional as it is attractive and it is machine washable. www.thelittlelasso.com 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 smallitem storage and clean-up pocket made from the softest terry cloth. www.bebeaulait.com These packets make brain development so easy Play and love are the experiences your baby needs most.
