If you haven’t been there, you certainly know someone who has: you leapt from a taxi with kids and luggage in tow only to be searched by strangers at security checkpoints. You then spent several aggravating hours on the plane trying to keep the kids happy and when you touched down, you made a beeline for the rental desk. Of course, you made arrangements with the rental agency for the kids’ car seats — but when the rental agent informed you that the seats weren’t there, you had only a few options: rush around like crazy trying to find an alternative… or start walking.

With its Spring ’14 collection, TinyTinkers underscores family bonds and the endless possibilities inherent in childhood.

The spring collection will be available in the regional trade markets across the country, including KidShow in Las Vegas August 19th to 21st in Jo Ann Farese’s booth.
