Baby Light & Clip's The Baby Clipper Competition
I’ve heard of many great mom-made inventions. This one is one of the more innovative creations I’ve heard of in some time.
Laurie Gadbois was a mom who realized there was a problem with the way the baby nail clippers were, first hand. She was clipping the nails of her own child when the idea for her Baby Light & Clip was born. When awake her son’s nails were difficult to clip and while asleep it was nearly impossible to clip them in the dim light.
With one of the best niche inventions to come out of being a parent, Laurie has succeeded down the road to becoming a successful mompreneur. I asked her about her experiences and she told me what she’s learned in her new role as inventor, mom, and business owner.
What was your inspiration for the ‘Baby Light & Clip’?
Like most new moms I faced challenges. One of those was trimming my son, Tor’s, finger nails. It was difficult to see where to cut and he wouldn’t stay still. So, when I went on the internet to see what other moms were doing to accomplish this task I discovered that just about every article I read said, “It is best to trim a baby’s nails while they are sleeping”. It was hard enough to see his tiny nails in the day light much less in a dark or dimly lit room. I’d wait until my son, Tor, was asleep but even during his afternoon nap I found it difficult to see just where to safely trim. I thought, “Why doesn’t someone make a nail clipper with a light on it” and thus after 5 years Baby Light & Clip® was born! Now trimming Tor’s nails is easy and more importantly safe for him.
How long did it take for it to go from idea to product?
5 years
