We were introduced to the little balance box mom and physical therapist invented. The
Little Balance Box is unique because it allows children to use their hands and/or forearms in
a variety of positions and from any direction to maximize stability and develop balance. The
floating feet provided feedback during transitions from kneeling to standing and also
allow the Little Balance Box to seamlessly move with your child across various surfaces
such as carpet, tile, and wood. The Little Balance Box can an also be used as a toddler
table. The top surface is easy to clean and the raised frame helps keep little items in place.
On the show floor we also found more of our favorite brands, JuJuBe a line of fun handbags and diaper bags, Baby Ganics which carries a full line of eco friendly products for the entire family and for the baby wearing mommas there were a variety of carriers to chose from like Ergo and Beachfront Baby that can be used in the water and are amazing. We also discovered the Portapack side carrier from Arms Reach perfect for those hot days made from nice breathable mesh like fabric that will keep you and baby cool and comfortable. Re-Play was there with their bright and colorful amazing feeding products made from recycled milk jugs. We headed over to MommyCon shoppe where we found EZPZ mats, Tekhni sling wraps, and the amazing products for women from Vagina Village that include the famous Diva Cup, Luna Pads, and the Lena Menstrual Cup.
The event ended with an amazing Car Seat Safety Panel with Mat York where he talked about his favorite car seats for the different age ranges, weather, and what worked best for his family.
