Turn that Cart into a Cloud!
by: Infantino • September 22, 2010 • Posted in NEW PRODUCTS

We’re finishing up the final design on our newest shopping cart cover – the Cloud – and it’s set to launch at the end of the year. This soft, fluffy cover turns high chairs and shopping carts into cozy little clouds and helps protect baby’s hands from all the ick and germs.

Like all of our shopping cart covers, the Cloud is simple to use and attaches securely to almost any cart or high chair. If you’ve never used a shopping cart cover before or wonder how they work, it’s super simple.  First, you just pop open your cover and stretch it over the seat. Next, use the straps to attach it to the cart or chair. Make sure the straps are securely buckled. Finally, park baby in the seat and help them get into a comfy position. Now they’re ready to cruise. When you’re done, our covers are made to come right off, fold up and stow away quickly. That’s it.

You can give the Cloud a try when it launches at the end of the year – it’s sure to turn cart time into happy time.

Tell Us What You Think
by: Infantino • September 10, 2010 • Posted in Test & Tell Mom Program

We make all of our products with moms in mind, so it only makes sense that we get their feedback, insights and ideas. One way we do this is our Test & Tell Mom program, where we provide new moms with free, newly launched products to test out and ask them to share their opinion on their blog, Facebook or other social media outlets. We’ve found it’s a great opportunity for honest feedback and conversations with our moms.

If you’d like to join Test & Tell, here are some details:

What We Look For

We look for moms that have little ones ranging from newborn up to 18 months.

It is very important to us that our Test & Tell Moms really use the products and give their first-hand accounts and photos, so readers can get true mom-to-mom opinions with insights that go beyond the product description.

We also ask our moms to post a clear declaimer that states we’ve given them the product free of charge to test out and that the review they give is 100% their own.

We try to get a healthy mix of moms from across the country. If we are too heavy in one region we may stop selecting from that area for a little while.

How to Apply

We sign on test moms depending on our current roster and product development needs. So the best thing to do is e-mail marketing@infantino.com about your interest in the program and see if there is a program you might be a good fit for.

We will always request a link to your blog and other social media outlets where you post your reviews. We also need to know the age of your little one and where you live. At first you do not need to provide your complete address, if selected you’ll be asked for it later.

We hope this helps you understand the program a bit better. We really believe that mom bloggers provide an invaluable resource to folks searching for real-life feedback on products and services. Let’s face it – there are a lot of choices out there and any help you can get navigating through the sea of options is a bonus!

Little Wonders
by: Infantino • September 8, 2010 • Posted in Babies R Us, Babywearing, Carriers, NEW PRODUCTS

Our Wonder Cover carrier bib is one of the coolest things about cruising with an Infantino carrier. Their switchable design gives you a smart and stylish way to add some extra comfort and protection to your carrier – and your clothes.

A Wonder Cover comes standard with our Flip, Swift and Breathe carriers. Plus we created a 5-pack you can purchase separately, so you can carry some extra backup for those little burps and messes. You just pop them off, toss the dirty one in the wash and break out a fresh one for clean cruising.

With the 5-pack, each Wonder Cover has a different pattern and color, so you can also customize the look and style of your carrier – prints, solids, whatever you’re in the mood for. And the simple Velcro fastener is easy to use and super baby-friendly.

You can see our carrier line right here and, if you already have an Infantino carrier, our Wonder Cover 5-pack will be available for purchase at the end of the month at Babies “R” Us and BabiesRUs.com.
