Toy Fair 2012 didn’t disappoint with an array of fabulous new products that are going to keep children & parents entertained.

Tiny Love’s 3-in-1 Rocker Napper was a standout in the baby category.  All parents know that the most useful products are those that have more than one function. The 3-in-1 starts out as a your traditional rocker with built in the vibrations and a baby activated mobile that plays 6 songs.

Gone are the days of your child falling asleep with their head flopping down on their chest. Once they are asleep, a simple one handed move will convert the rocker into a flat bed.  No more having to play the game of chance with your baby praying he won’t wake up, with the 3- in -1 Rocker Napper, you only have to pull a handle to make a flat bed with raised sides. Genius!

The 3-in-1 Rocker Napper will be available this spring from Tiny Love.  To see it in action go to Tiny Love’s website: www.tinylove.com

The first ever New York Baby Show was a great success!

From all of us here at New York Family, we want to extend our gratitude for everyone’s support of the show. It’s always difficult to launch a new event, especially one of this magnitude, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Over 2,500 parents made an appearance during the course of the weekend, making good on our promise that the New York Baby Show would be the largest event of its kind on the East Coast. Way to go!

We’d also like to extend a big thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors, who traveled from all over the country to be part of the New York Baby Show. Your great products and advice for parents, as well as your help in promoting of the event, were invaluable to the success of the show. We hope to see all of you back again next year.

As the dust settles from the show we will have more pictures and testimonials for the site, so check back soon! We’ll also keep you updated via Facebook and Twitter. Thanks again to everyone, we hope you gained some valuable information for your journey into parenthood, and wish you the best of luck.
