We love Chewbeads!
The idea for Chewbeads began in 2009 shortly after the birth of the creators son. Like most babies, he loved to put everything in his mouth and her necklaces were a favorite. Like most moms, she didn't feel comfortable letting him chew on them, with concern that they might break or have unwanted chemicals. As a veteran of the fashion industry, she had an amazing collection of necklaces and bracelets, so with those as her inspiration, she set out to create soft, non-toxic jewelry, which was colorful, chic and, above all else safe. Hence, Chewbeads!
- Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples)
- Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth
- Easily cleaned with dish soap & water, also dishwasher safe!
- No BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Cadmium, or Lead
- Necklaces have a breakaway clasp for added safety
- Necklaces are a great sensory tool to help your baby focus while nursing
- Bracelets are a colorful reminder of which side you've just nursed

Real Baby Turns 10!
It's
hard to believe that this photo was taken ten years ago, just weeks
after we opened our doors to the neighborhood. Many things have
changed, and yet, many things have stayed the same. My husband and I
opened Real Baby with the purpose of sharing great baby products that we
loved, with our friends and customers. Believe or not it was extremely
difficult to find cool, fun, hip, and functional items for parents and
their children in 2003! We also wanted to offer a place for
parents to meet, share ideas, ask questions, put their hands on new
products, and receive the best customer service in town. With our
helpful and knowledgeable staff, we continue to learn and grow, and
offer our customers the best in baby products and service. John
and I and our two children, now 11 and 13 years old!, continue to live
just blocks away from the shop. We our proud to say that we have been a
part of this neighborhood and a part of the Denver Children's market
for a Decade!
Here is a little look into the past...We are excited for the future!
Trying to figure out how to create the space
Love the Florescent lighting!

Happy owners: John and Hilary

New Safety Standards For Play Yards
New safety standards for play yards, also called travel yards or playpens, go into effect today, February 28, 2013. We have received a number of questions about what these new standards mean for consumers and for those who intended to give away or sell their used play yards. In this post, we summarize the new rules and standards.
Background
Part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) required the CPSC to develop mandatory safety standards for various durable infant and toddler goods. Previously, safety standards for these items were largely voluntary. The new mandatory standards were to be at least as stringent as the voluntary standards and more stringent if it was determined that additional safety requirements could further reduce the risk of injury. For the past three years, new standards have been rolled out forcribs, children’s bed rails, baby bath seats, baby walkers,infant swings and toddler beds. The latest is for play yards.
What is Considered a Play Yard?
Although there are similarities to non-full sized cribs, to avoid confusion, play yards are defined as a “framed enclosure that includes a floor and has mesh or fabric sided panels primarily intended to provide a play or sleeping environment for children. It may fold for storage or travel.” Play yards are intended for children who are less than 35 inches tall, who cannot climb out of the product.
New Standards
Play yards that meet the new safety standard must have:
- Side rails that do not form a sharp V when the product is folded. This prevents a child from strangling in the side rail.
- Stronger corner brackets to prevent sharp-edged cracks and to prevent a side-rail collapse.
- Sturdier mattress attachments to the play yard floor to prevent children from getting trapped or hurt.
Who Must Comply with the New Standards?
There is an important distinction between the new crib standards and the new play yard standards. For cribs, on the day the new standard went into effect, July 28, 2011, it became unlawful for anyone to sell, offer for use, or otherwise place into the “stream of commerce” any crib that does not meet the new safety standards. Childcare facilities and places of public accommodation such as hotels were not required to comply until December 28, 2012.
For play yards, the new safety standards only apply to play yards that are manufactured or imported on or after February 28, 2013.

Travel Tips 101!
We all know that flying and traveling with our children can be one of the most stressful times for a new parent. I can remember standing in the airplane bathroom with my new daughter, screaming her head off, trying to console her on a flight home to visit family. We all have our tricks. For some, it's small new toys brought out in intervals. For others it may be hand held devices, iPads, books or lap tops. This couple on a flight home had a plan to take care of the whole flight and not just themselves! Great Idea!
