Thanks to Mamaista and Mogul Mom for encouraging mompreneurs!

My product, the Kowalli Baby Carrier Cover, offers a practical solution for those moms weary of bundling baby in bulky snowsuits or fussing with unruly blankets when on the go. I originally designed the Kowalli for my infant son, but was persuaded to go into business when mom after mom approached me to ask about it. There are days when it takes me 15 minutes just to sit down at my local café because the Kowalli draws so much attention. And when I go on sales calls in Manhattan and Brooklyn, I get stopped about every two blocks by desperately inquiring moms, asking me, where can I get that?? (This has resulted in a few awkward but somehow entertaining moments, as I am often “wearing” a plastic doll that emits wafting tobacco odors [an unfortunate EBay purchase] in my Beco carrier to save time between appointments).

Kowalli Baby Carrier Covers are innovative because they cover parent and child together, allowing them to stay close and share body heat, thereby reducing the need for bulky layers. Oddly, only a scarce few other products do this, and those that do are priced out of reach for many moms. One of the best things about the Kowalli is that it can be worn with light or heavy underlayers, so it works well from early autumn through late spring. This also makes it much more versatile than a baby-wearing coat. The diagonal design across the chest, reinforced with a one-handed elastic pull, allows baby’s head full range of vision and motion, no matter what position they’re in. Another major advantage is that the Kowalli can be effortlessly removed if baby falls asleep or if mom enters a warm space and worries about baby overheating.

The Kowalli is easily the most versatile cover on the market today: it works with soft-structured carriers such as the Ergo, Beco, and BabyBjorn, as well as with slings, wraps, and Mei tais. It works in the front or back carry position, with baby facing in or out, even in hip carry positions on either side! It can be used as a nursing cover, and it lasts until the child outgrows the carrier. And, I will admit, I like to wear mine at home when I’m working, or curl up in it when I’m watching a movie.

The Kowalli is made in New England of local materials, including the highest quality Polartec fleece that has been weather-treated to repel rain and snow. With four color combinations, and even dad-friendly neutrals, the Kowalli looks a lot more stylish than your husband’s old coat!

Thanks so much for considering my product, and thanks to the other moms for submitting so many innovative ideas.

I created a removable and reusable peel and stick vinyl wall decal chalkboard. I am waiting for the patent I applied for a couple years ago to finally come through. Since I invented this chalkboard I have had to sit back and watch my competitors use it as if it were their own. This is disheartening but I don’t let it stop me! My peel and stick chalkboards use real chalk and can be used in a kitchen or a playroom. They are easily applied to the wall and they can be removed and reused without making a mess of any kind.

My newest peel and stick wall sticker is called Smarts. I designed this with one of my Mompreneur friends. Smarts is a 3 step program of baby wall decals based on scientifically proven research designed to enhance newborn and infant development while serving as suitable nursery decoration.

Nourish is THE “IT” Product you are looking for – it fits in CARE and MAMA although our customers think it is so attractive they do FLAUNT it! Nourish is a new, patented bottled water for babies and toddlers. Nourish Baby is a formula-ready bottled water complete with 8 oz of purified spring water, volume markings for mixing formula or monitoring consumption, a wide neck and room for adding formula and a baby nipple top! Now moms on the go can just add formula, shake, serve and recycle(if you are traveling and don’t want to wash dirty bottles in hotel bathroom sinks or find a clean water source to refill) or reuse (they can be washed and used again!). Nourish Toddler is a spill-proof bottled water for those delightfully independent 1-4 year olds who may be perfectly coordinated with a cup at the table but handing them a beverage in the car is the same thing as a bath for them, for you and for your car. Nourish Toddler comes complete with 10 oz of purified spring water, a bottle shaped for small hands and a spill-proof sippy top! Now there is an alternative to the immediate consumption beverages (sugary juice boxes, capri suns and flavored milks). Nourish Toddler is a healthy alternative that leave you with smiles instead of spills! Check out Nourish at http://www.nourish-inc.com and at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nourish-Bottled-Water-for-Babies-Toddlers/95329512824?ref=ts. Nourish is just launching in airports, restaurants, sporting arenas, gift shops… Nourish is available as single serve bottles, by the case, and in adorable gift boxes which also come with baby hats and toddler t-shirts.
