A city of slots and sequins, Las Vegas is not normally associated with babies, but next week the dancers better step aside; the diaper crowd is moving in! One of Trade Show Week’s 200 largest shows, ABC (All Baby & Child) Kids Expo 2010 requires no poker face — every single exhibitor will have traveled to Nevada with a simple intention: to lay their cards on the table and wait for someone, in a manner of speaking, to play. The Giggle Guide^® has the skinny on bare2britches™, Mayron’s Goods^®, Cool Gel ‘n Cap™, and The Little Acorn™; terrific brands who make success look as easy as ABC!

With recent news reports focusing on harmful substances in children’s products, parents are now more safety-conscious than ever — especially when choosing tableware for their children. Consumers are also continuing to express a growing interest in “greener” recycled products. Fortunately, there are several brands offering durable, non-toxic tableware that is produced using recycled corn, melamine and stainless steel, in colorful and interesting shapes that are particularly appealing to children. Set a place for these tasty dining innovations from Oré (SugerBooger^®), Dandelion, Ginkgo and Zak Designs!

Square pegs into round holes. Slippery threads through a tiny needle’s eye. Cold fingers into tight winter gloves. And… a big baby’s head into almost every neck opening on the market! Some size-to-space dilemmas will always be a challenge to solve; that’s just part of life’s little frustrations. However, dressing a wiggly baby or toddler is a mighty enough challenge without having to force a nudge-resistant noggin into a too small neck opening! The mom-inventors behind Big Head Baby have solved this age-old tight-fit frenzy by re-thinking the basic style of baby and toddler one-piece apparel.
