What to Watch For: ABC Kids Expo 2016 Edition

The Project Nursery team just returned from the ABC Kids Expo 2016, and we’re bursting at the seams with excitement over the amazing new companies and products we discovered. Some of them are already available for purchase (grab your credit cards, mamas!), and some of them will be making their way to retailers in 2017, but one thing is for sure—they’re all worth the wait. Here are sixteen companies/products to watch for.

Guess what, for the first time ever, we had our very own booth at ABC. It was pretty incredible to see our name in lights at the biggest industry show of the year. Our big news is the launch of the parent + baby Smart Band, which can track feedings, diaper changes, fitness and so much more! We are planning to hit stores in early 2017. Much more to come on that later.
