Our regular weekly feature urbanmoms.ca Marketplace is an open forum for mom-run businesses to share their amazing stories. This week, Joy’s story…
My name is Joy. President and founder of Wee-Knees Design Inc., knee
pads for infants and toddlers. More importantly, I am Darcy’s Mom, our
little daughter, who inspired me to develop Wee-Knees.
Learning to crawl is meant to be fun, exciting, confidence building!
Not so in our family. This supposed forerunner to taking that momentous
FIRST STEP was painful for both of us. I soon discovered however, that
I was not alone, as many moms expressed similar sentiments.
Following countless bruises, scrapes and scratches from crawling on
everyday household surfaces, such as hardwood floors, ceramic tiles and
patio stones, I was ready to pull my hair out! I kept wishing Darcy
would just hurry through this stage and finally walk!
I thought it unbelievable that in today’s world with the emphasis on
safety and protection for kids in sports, that there was virtually
nothing for infants and babies. "Why had no one ever thought of
inventing knee protection for these little people?"
After considerable research, trial and error, and finally our latest
focus group testimonials, it was proven that we had a winning product.
Wee-Knees was Born, and ready to take its’ first step into the
marketplace.
Wee-Knees is baby friendly, providing protection without being bulky
or restrictive. The flexible Neoprene pad gently cushions teeny knees,
while the Soft-Touch Spandex sleeve fits snugly and comfortably around
the leg.
Look Mom no more OUCH!!!!
