Products that make parent's lives easier (and even more fun)!

The
Cushy Closer
Check on your kids without waking them up!
We LOVE this invention...so simple, so inexpensive and SO NECESSARY for parents with little ones. No longer live in fear about checking on baby during nap time and possibly waking them up. This simple gadget allows quiet entry into rooms without turning the knob or handle. Made of durable fabric and super easy to install, the Cushy Closer also prevents children from being locked in rooms and door slamming (which is not only annoying, but dangerous). Developed by a pair of mothers with nine children between them, we give the Cushy Closer by Baby Urbana two thumbs up! www.mom4life.com

Food
Face
Giving food personality
Because sausage is much more palatable to children if it is in the shape of a handlebar mustache, Food Face, an adorable product from Fred & Friends, offers parents and children a fantastic artistic and culinary nudge to play with their food. With his rosy cheeks and a round little face, our plate-face friend will inspire everything from spaghetti hair to hot dog brows. Made of hotel-quality, food safe, high-fire ceramics, Food Face would make a fantastic gift for a friend or a fun addition to your own dinnerware collection. www.worldwidefred.com

ZIGO
Family transportation system
The Zigo Leader X2 Carrier Bicycle is the coolest bike/child carrier we have seen in a long time. The Zigo is the ultimate Transformer: bike alone, bike with baby carrier, just a stroller or a jogging stroller. With easy transformation from one function to another, the ZIGO promotes an active, outdoor lifestyle while parents remain in control of their children (and their safety). With baby perched up-front, ZIGO offers optimal viewing of baby's well-being. The bike on its own is a multi-speed city bike and with the LeaderLink technology, the ChildPod is easily coupled or uncoupled in seconds. Think it will be too big to store? Think again—the ZIGO stroller's wheels pop off with the push of a button and the ChildPod folds flat for easy storage. ZIGO is an Australian based company but their product is available through many US retailers. Check out their site and be wowed: www.myzigo.com
