ABC Kids Expo Previews New Baby Products

The 9th Annual ABC Kids Expo will be held at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville on September 23 through September 26. More than 950 exhibitors in over one million square feet of space will show what’s new to national and international retailers, sales reps, importer/exporters and the media. ABC will provide shuttle service from many contracted hotels during show days and the ABC Trolley will again service the exhibit halls perimeter.

Steeped in history and rich with cultural amenities, Louisville offers the charming character of a city’s past nestled within a thriving modern metropolis. The city boasts art galleries and museums, theaters, live music, sports, parks, zoos, scenic river cruises, and a host of interesting and delicious places to wine (or bourbon) and dine. From furniture to baby gear to apparel, gifts, toys and lots more, this show has a stronger vibe than ever! For more information, please visit www.theabcshow.com

With so many exhibitors contacting The Giggle Guide^® to make an appointment to see them at ABC, it was nearly an impossible task to highlight only a few in this ABC preview. More news will be included during and after the ABC Kids Expo. Get ready to see these fantastic brands and many miles more: Niniwalker, GO!screen, oogaa and Levana.

Niniwalker Takes Big Strides in Baby Steps

Are your shoppers tired of crouching while they help children struggle to take their first steps? Might they want to give their backs a break when their son is ready to toddle off? If the answers are “yes,” take a look at Niniwalker, designed to help babies learn to walk and adopt a natural and anatomically correct posture at the same time.

Tots aged eight to sixteen months get a literal leg up on walking by using this simple, practical device that helps them make a safe transition from the cling-and-fall stage to upright independent walking. Niniwalker is only for babies who are ready to go, meaning they are strong enough to stand on their own two feet. The device also ensures that kids adopt good posture right from the get-go while learning to walk on different surfaces like sand, grass or carpeting.

With a simple, safe Niniwalker, the adult in charge doesn’t need to bend over or kneel to be helpful. Since the baby can’t use the product alone, he’s less likely to fall and get hurt. The product comes with a safety harness for added security and is made of lightweight aluminum, so it’s a cinch to pack up and tote around.

Fussing Takes a Powder with GO!screen Sun Protectant

A brighter idea than sunshine, GO!screen is a natural, brush-on powder sunscreen that protects children’s sensitive skin like nothing else. Bye-bye goopy lotion! Farewell cold sprays! This fuss-free powder is packed with protection. With over 300 applications in a small, easy-to-carry tube, GO!screen can be slipped into pocket or purse to use whenever necessary.

Travel-friendly and airport-safe, it’s a natural sunscreen without harsh, synthetic chemicals: no toxins, parabens, talc, bismuth oxychloride, alcohol, PABA or fragrance. Instead, GO!screen is formulated with zinc oxide, a mineral that has natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it stays cool and light on skin and won’t clog pores.

The product protects tender skin, providing a barrier against UVA and UVB radiation. Parents can put an end to hissy-fits before venturing to the pool, beach or park; they simply brush on this light powder that won’t leave skin or hands greasy.

GO!screen founders, one a trained chemist and both incredibly outdoorsy, couldn’t stand the daily battles to protect their kids from the dangers of sun exposure. Now they use GO!screen on every member of the family.

Introduce customers to this fresh approach to dealing with sun block and give them a new way to deal with an old problem. For more information, visit www.ilovegoscreen.com

oogaa Feeding Essentials Serve Up Mealtime Fun

Here comes the choo-choo, loaded with peas! This bite is ferried to a happy mouth with an oogaa train spoon that has a long handle for a grown-up hand, a small bowl for a mini-mouth and an entertaining design. The zoom-zoom airplane spoon is equally cool and both make sure those veggies end up where they are meant to go.

oogaa products are all about fun, safe, innovative, and sustainable products for feeding babies and young children. In addition to the clever spoons, retailers can also offer shoppers great-looking, highly-functional bowls and placemats, some sold as sets. All oogaa mealtime marvels are made of silicone, a material that won’t corrode or degrade like plastic. Silicone doesn’t support the growth of harmful bacteria and is both odorless and tasteless.

oogaa feeding tools can be popped into the microwave, freezer, dishwasher, or electric sterilizer — no fuss, no mess, no problem! Imaginative placemats that are big enough to really protect won’t slip when inquisitive tots try pushing them out of the way, have no sharp edges, and, after a messy meal, emerge from the dishwasher ready to serve up another meal.
