I was recently watching this new show called The Shark Tank which is a reality type show where entrepreneurs and inventors present their ideas in front of 5 millioniare investors. On this particular episode, the women appeared on the show to try to get an investment to expand their business. They had invented and patented a removable type of slip cover for a playpen or play yard. They actually had a playpen on the show and demonstrated how dirty they can get by dumping milk and dirty diapers inside. With us being in the crib bedding business, this really caught our attention. It really is a great idea because it does not only cover the inside bottom of the playpen but it completely wraps around the entire playpen so it protects the walls as well. All you do when it is dirty is you remove it and throw it in the wash.
I guess they already have a contract to sell them at Target across the country and I believe that one of the investors agreed to give them $400,000 for a 40% stake in the company. The name of the company is CoverPlay.
I am sure that this invention will make lives easier for many new moms.
