INFANTINO LAUNCHES POP & PLAY™ COLLECTION
Play Tailored for Babies – Newborn to Crawling Stage
SAN DIEGO, CALIF – February 9, 2012- (Virtual Press Office) – The creative imaginations at Infantino® know babies minds develop through constant discovery. To help parents nurture their babies from newborn to crawling stage, Infantino® created the new Pop & Play™ Collection that offers customization, personalization and functionality as baby grows and develops. The age-appropriate entertainment system features interchangeable activity pods that parents can move around, take-on-the go or update with additional pods sold in the collection. Each product in the collection was designed with maximum use in mind, keeping baby engaged and happy on the floor, in the crib and on the go.
“Parents are looking for high quality products that offer value,” says Colette Cosky, senior brand manager at Infantino®. “The new Pop & Play™ offers endless popabilities! Its smart design helps parents enjoy every moment as they watch their baby grow and develop. The collection’s design offers maximum use whether that’s the ability to take on the go or popping into another play space to help encourage new gross motor skills.”
The Pop & Play™ Pop & Swap Gym (MSRP $49.99) is an activity gym like no other. The customizable features provide lots of ways for baby to play through his first year as he grows and reaches new milestones. The Pop & Swap gym offers:
• Newborn overhead discovery
• 45-degree angle for reaching and grabbing
• Tummy time
• Sit & play
• Crib activity center
The Pop & Swap Gym offers 10 minutes of lights and music, and two-sided interchangeable graphic cards feature high-contrast black and white images and animal faces. The three activity pods on the main play station of the gym can be interchanged with other Pop & Play™ pods, and these may also be used as stand alone toys either at home or on the go. A Velcro® strap is used to attach pods to a car seat, stroller or gym. Double-locked activity pods were designed so that only parents can remove them.
The colorful and plush Pop & Play™ Activity Mat (MSRP $19.99) offers a play area that entertains little ones with two interchangeable activity pods that rattle and squeak. A peek-a-boo mirror lets baby become familiar with his face and different textures for baby to experience. The play area can be used as a stand-alone product or can be used in many ways as a comfy companion to the Pop & Play™ Pop & Swap Gym.
