August Smarty Giveaway: The Floor Nanny + Slipcover of Your Choice!

By Katie M

Attention moms: We have the deal for you! This month’s Give-Away features The Floor Nanny, a safe and portable cushion for your baby to rest, play and exercise while you take care of chores, your other children, or just take a break! It is perfect for any mom-to-be or mother of an infant or toddler – and it makes a fabulous gift!

It’s also a Triad-born product. Greensboro mompreneurs Annetta Bartle and Heidi Cox are life-long friends who dreamed of starting their own business. After the birth of their daughters Caroline and Lilly, they discovered the same need for a safe, portable place for their children. They stitched together the idea of The Floor Nanny with a variety of unique designs to fit any room décor or style – and after five years on the market – they have sold more than 5,000 Floor Nannies!

“The Floor Nanny has truly been a life saver for my family. Adjusting to parenthood has had many challenges, and our precious daughter has been a very hands-on, quality-time baby,” said Mandy O, a Triad mom. “Olivia loves to be held and there were many times when she would get so upset unless she was in someone’s arms. There were moments when we just needed a break from holding her. Then, we received the Floor Nanny as a gift from a family member. It was great because it allowed me to place her down in a safe, secure environment so that I could tackle some housework and still have her in the same room with me. And she loved it. If we needed the space again, it was easy to pick up the Nanny by the side handles and move it, or we usually just used those handles to hang the Nanny on the living room doorknob so that it was out of the way until Olivia was ready to play in it again. Even after she started crawling, she still enjoyed climbing in and out of the Floor Nanny to play with her toys.”

Liddy H, another Triad mom, has enjoyed The Floor Nanny through all stages of her daughter’s development. “When she was teeny, it was a great place for her to have a little tummy time or for her to recline while we showed her toys. When she started sitting up, it was a good place for us to let her sit during playtime because she would be cushioned well if she tipped over! Now that she's really mobile and on the go, the Floor Nanny gives her a nice cozy place to relax ... she likes to climb into the Floor Nanny and snuggle up with her blankets and her favorite books, or to lie back and watch some Noggin from time to time! I would definitely recommend the Floor Nanny to other moms based on our experience with it and how much my daughter has used and enjoyed it!”

Annetta and Heidi – and The Floor Nanny – have been featured across the country in news outlets like Nevada Women’s magazine, http://www.seattlepi.com/, American Baby, New York Post, Piedmont Parent, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Detroit Free Press, http://www.myparentime.com/, Sacrament Parent magazine, Greensboro News & Record, and Central Penn Parent.
