A Baby Bottle Breakthrough

Posted on 05/12/2014 by Troy Turner

Qi (pronounced “chi”) is a unique, elegant self-heating disposable baby bottle designed to provide a thoughtful & practical way to feed your baby on the go & on demand. Combining the convenience of ready-made formula with an integrated heating system, Qi provides parents with the independence to maintain a regimented feeding pattern with minimal hassle. The innovative design hygienically preserves formula that, with a simple twist of the base, can be safely heated to deliver a warm, satisfying feed on the go.

Unique properties: Thermocromic heat sensing symbols on the bottle provide an indication of the milk’s temperature. a Simple twist of the bottle base adjusts the heat, enabling full control of the temperature, so a warm feed can be safely delivered on the go. Both teat and formula are kept separate in foil sealed sterile sections, permitting storage for up to 12 months. The Qi product range comes in a variety of formulas, flow rates and sizes for infants from 6 to 24 months.

Product realization: Long lasting ready-made formula milk satisfies the parent’s need for a bottle that can be heated on demand and remains sterile until opened. Blow molded HDPE is utilized for the main container, whereas the base, lid, collar and canister are injection molded. All silicone and HDPE parts are BPA free, avoiding potentially harmful chemicals from leaching into the milk. An exothermic reaction between water and calcium oxide produces enough heat to warm the ready-made formula milk to body temperature within 3 minutes for a quick feed.

Operation Flow Interaction: The design of the teat and rounded nipple replicates the feel and shape of a real breast, encouraging babies to latch on more quickly. The offset teat reduces the angle of feed ensuring it remains full of milk as long as possible, preventing the swallowing of air to reduce colic. The bottle’s organic form and rounded base has been ergonomically designed to sit comfortably within the hand, providing an ideal feeding position for both parent and baby.

Dad Creates Iron Man Costume for Hospitalized Newborn Son

Posted on 06/11/2014 by Conner Flynn

This guy is an awesome dad. His son was just born and he has already proven that fact. Burlington, North Carolina prop maker Eric Hart wanted to do something special for his newborn son, who is currently being treated in the hospital. Like dressing the little guy up as Iron Man this past Halloween.

This may be the smallest cosplayer in history. Call the Guinness Book of World Records. Hart cut the Iron Man helmet out of colored foam using a scaled down paper Iron Man pattern that he found online.

Makes sense to me since the little guy is hooked up to machines to help him live, just like Tony Stark. Probably has an arc reactor and everything. I hope he is doing better now.

Remote Baby Bonding

Posted on 30/10/2014 by Troy Turner

Parents of preemies can find themselves at home worrying in the first days or weeks following the birth & miss out on building a physical/emotional connection. Baboo is a baby bonding system that creates a connection between the hospital incubator & the home, immersing new parents in the newborn’s progress as much as possible. It gives real-time information (awake, asleep, activity, weight, etc.) presented in a calming way to decrease feelings of stress, guilt & worry. Over time parents will notice these changes & establish a sense of pride for their little fighter!

Baboo is one of the first designs to use data visualizations in a 3 dimensional object rather than on a screen. When baby is active, Baboo mimics by moving its own limbs. When baby is awake, it also “awakens” with a gentle light. The weight of the baby is symbolized in the depth of Baboo’s movements

Bespoke Baby Bed

Posted on 17/06/2014 by Troy Turner

Nuture is a concept that replaces the core and support layers of traditional infant mattresses with a strap system that allows for a bespoke design to be created for every child. The aluminum frame provides rigidity with adjustable tension straps that allow the profile to be altered. This means parents can tailor the mattress contours to their baby to help prevent flat head syndrome, limit acid reflux and more. It’s also extendable to adapt to a range of infant beds & grows as the child does, all the way until they transition to a regular bed!

Infant found Alive in Iowa

It was an act which would make any parent start shuddering in terror. And no doubt it gave the parents of Kayden Powell nightmares. Their five day old baby son was kidnapped from its home by an aunt...

Asthma’s Worst Enemy, Kid’s Best Friend

Posted on 24/01/2013 by Troy Turner

Parents with children suffering from asthma have only two options for treatment, the nebulizer and inhaler. While the inhaler is easily carried, it’s also less effective at the onset of an attack. Nebbie offers both the effectiveness of the mist nebulizer and the practicality and portability of the inhaler. The equipment is packed into a small, playful character that’s transportable, easy to use and friendlier to kids.

Wild Stroller of the Savannahs

Posted on 01/10/2012 by Troy Turner

The latest design from Casualplay, Kudu Stroller, just goes to show that inspiration can come from the most unexpected places! Inspired by the beautiful African antelope of the same name, this wild design takes from the elegant yet robust body of the animal. Simplistic lines and invisible welds also give it a seamless, minimalist aesthetic.

It’s not only pretty, but super functional. The design features a collapsible backrest with 3 positions.
Multiple positions of the backrest mean the child can sit up comfortably while awake or completely lie down while asleep. This fully reclined position means it can also be used as a changing mat anywhere.
In addition, there’s also a reverse seat that in just one movement can be placed in any position desired, facing forwards or facing the parents.

Babe Rocker

Posted on 20/09/2012 by Troy Turner

This multifunctional furniture piece combines crib and rocking chair into one singular rocking unit. It’s effective in getting sleepy babies to bed and helps acclimate them to being in a crib. When the young one outgrows the crib, the side unit converts to a magazine rack, giving new life to the chair. Better yet, it’s easy to assemble- 12 screws and 2 ropes later and you have the perfect addition to the nursery that’s great for new parents.
