What do Jessica Alba, Brooke Anderson and Jessica Simpson all have in common? They subscribe to the “cute tushie” philosophy: baby butts don’t have to be boring. Whether parents choose disposables, reusables or a combination of both for diaper changes, fashion has hit the bottom. Today’s diaper covers are available in a large variety of colors, designs and embellishments, from fun and whacky to dressy and casual, to coordinate both diaper and outfit changes. A few of our favorite brands include collections from RuffleButts, Mint, Cutey Booty, and Ganz.

It’s never too early to cheer a favorite team on to victory! That’s the lesson Baby Fanatic founder and ardent sports fan Tricia Woodson learned when she needed a baby gift for another sports-wild mom and couldn’t find anything that met her needs. Faster than you can say “win/win,” Woodson developed a line of licensed baby products. Today, Baby Fanatic is the exclusive manufacturer of officially licensed baby goods for all NFL and MLB teams. Plus they license products for over forty colleges, so even the youngest member of the family can display their team spirit.

Their casual eco-friendly clothing, plush toys, educational DVDs and music CDs provide an immersive global experience that opens children’s eyes to the diverse wildlife and experience of an African safari.

Organic cotton has gained popularity in recent years –– particularly in infant fashions –– because of its gentleness on both the skin and the planet. The market for organic cotton and other environmentally friendly clothing is full of both established and emerging companies. It pays to do a little research and find out which ones have the most cutting-edge styles, the most creative designs, and state-of-the-art “green” manufacturing practices. Here are a few worthy of retail consideration: Pickle Peas, mini mioche, Itsus Eco and Bungalow BeBe.

The 5th edition of Playtime New York (August 4-6) will offer a selection of merchandise showcasing 90 American and international children’s brands.

Today’s DIY home decorator has been stuck with lackluster eyesores as smoke detectors, until now. The Chick-a-Dee smoke detector has flown into the design world with safety from the tip of its beak to the end of its plastic tail. Current smoke detectors serve homeowners well in safety measures, but fail to complement home décor and just emit strident blasts. A modern, stylish and proven reliable smoke detector may be a welcome addition to your customers’ homes. Set the design world all a-twitter when you introduce them to the Chick-a-Dee smoke detector as a light-hearted, protective part of their home interiors.
