European Invention Keeps American Babies Warm: Kindersack

By on May 12, 2008 in Giveaways / Interviews


With newborns and babies in general it can be a trick figuring out how to keep them warm in their crib without having to use a blanket, which can be viewed as dangerous. Every parent wants to make the right decision for their children and themselves.

Melissa heard about the Kindersack from her cousin who lives in Germany. When she learned about them she knew they’d do very well sold in the US but didn’t have the time to be able to start her business… yet. In 2000 she was finally able to launch her business, incorporating in 2001. Passport Baby is the brand she started to sell these great products to people here in the US.

I recently got the chance to interview Melissa about the products that she sells from her Passport Baby website. She was also kind enough to donate one of the Kindersacks to one of our readers.

If you would like the chance to win the 3-9 month sleepy bears kindersack pictured above, please leave a comment on the original post. The giveaway starts now and ends on May 18th at 11:59pm. I’ll choose the winning comment on May 19th. Passport Baby ships everywhere!
