 Nicole Donnelly, stay-at-home mom to Sara, started making BabyLegs to keep her dear daughter's legs warm whilst allowing for nakedy butt time. Well, it turns out that these leg warmers are great for crawling over all surfaces.
Now that Sara is toddling around, she biffs it quite often but her knees stay soft and scarless thanks to her BabyLegs. Nicole started selling home-made BabyLegs out of Sara's diaper bag every where they went, the coffee shop, swim class, moms' groups. Nicole sold over 100 pairs in the first 2 weeks! BabyLegs was officially born in April 2005.
One year later, we are happy to say that little ones in more than 15 countries are now protected by BabyLegs.

 Cruisin' With Kids LLC was founded in 2005 by first time parents looking for products that would help keep their newborn safe.
It all started with the Cruisin' With Kids Safety Tags TM. After a few trips on the highways with their newborn, they saw a glaring need for an updated product to alert motorists that there was a baby present in their automobile, in hopes aggressive drivers would take notice and drive more carefully around them. In addition to safety, they wanted to create a product that was aesthetically pleasing, weatherproof, and durable enough to be placed on the exterior of a window, ensuring a tinted or dirty window would not reduce visibility.
Today, the Cruisin' With Kids Safety Tags TM are used by parents in a variety of ways beyond a car windshield. Another prominent use of the Safety Tag TM is to adhere it to the exterior window of a home or apartment, near the entry way, to alert emergency personnel that a child or children reside in the home. In emergency situations, such as a fire, children often hide in closets or small spaces, inadvertently hiding themselves from emergency personnel. The hopes of Cruisin' With Kids, is that rescue workers will see the Safety Tag on or near the entrance way of the home and be more aware of the possibility of small children on the premises.
