NIGHT OWL STROLLER EARLY SKETCH CONCEPT.
I made a list of the top 30 baby products every mom buys, and I started to come up with ideas for the easier and less expensive ones. That’s how I came up with the idea for our patented White Hot spoons. My wife would always remind me to test the temperature after microwaving baby food by putting it against my cheek or tasting it, to make sure it’s not too hot. I hated tasting the baby food, and I hated putting it next to my face. So I came up with the idea of taking color change technology and putting it into the soft coating of the spoon.
