What is the Design-Conscious Rearing trend?
Design-Conscious Rearing: Many parents look for toys and accessories that will satisfy a child’s want for a certain kind of play or activity, but a growing market of products tailored to parental style is taking shape. Boasting eco-friendliness, dual-purpose or abstract design, the innovations speak to first-time parents accustom to the "yuppie" life who aren’t ready to augment their lives to be family-centric.
