Summer travel season is here! Time to pack up, hit the road and enjoy an adventure with your tots in tow. Family vacations are a wonderful time to make memories but traveling with young kids and staying in new environments can be challenging. With a little bit of preparation (and lots of patience!) you can make the journey a wonderful one.

This month we share some tips and product recommendations to make the trip as smooth and stress free as possible. 

We know the health and wellbeing of your child is priority number one. Along with childproofing your home, it is equally important to be prepared for the times when your little one gets sick or injured.

Whether it's a stuffy nose, a fever, or a cough, there are certain items that every parent should have on hand to help alleviate their child's discomfort and promote their speedy recovery. 

It is amazing to watch your child grow from baby to crawler to toddler! As your child becomes mobile it's important to create an environment in which they can safely explore.

With so many different types of baby gates, it can be challenging to know which one to choose. In this blog post, we'll share tips and tricks for choosing the right type of gate and installing it correctly.

Is it time to ditch the diapers? Making the transition from diapers to using the toilet is a major milestone for little ones when it comes to asserting their independence. 

This month we’re sharing some tips and products to help make potty training more manageable (and fun) for all involved!

Many children display signs of being ready for potty training between ages 18 and 24 months, but others may show no interest until they hit the 3-year mark and that’s ok too! All children develop at different rates, and no two kids are quite the same, so it’s important to make sure that your child is ready for the toilet.

With the holidays now behind us, the new year is a wonderful time to focus on healthy eating habits for the whole family.

Building a strong foundation of health for your child starts by teaching them great habits, handwashing and brushing their teeth, to eating well and beyond. You can help them learn about making great eating choices by providing a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy proteins. 

The start of a new year is a great time to take stock of your home, you might even feel inspired to tick through your “fix-it” list, rearrange furniture or update your décor.

As you review your home’s repair and aesthetic needs, we recommend that you review your childproofing efforts as well. Performing regular childproofing check ups throughout the year is important as your little one moves through their developmental stages - from baby, to crawler, to toddler.
