Another product to note is the LÍLLÉbaby infant carrier which boasts a durable, convertible and weather-proof design that is ideal for families who enjoy spending time active and outdoors. Additionally, innovations like Megan Menne's adorable line of handmade felt toys is designed for kids while drawing inspiration from pop culture iconography that parents will identify with. Her most recent release is a collection of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Scones. Each felt-made item encourages hands-on play versus screen time while referencing Starbucks' iconic autumn beverage.
