Busy Baby
About
We are siblings and Army Veterans from Minnesota
“We have always supported and encouraged one another during life’s journeys. Now we are thrilled to be working together to run Busy Baby and help make life a little easier for Busy Parents everywhere!
It started over 40 years ago when Beth had to spend her 4th birthday at the hospital when baby Eric decided to make his big entrance the day before her birthday. Throughout the years there were many adventures together from mud races in their home state of Minnesota to a deployment in Kuwait and Iraq together during their time in the army.
Today they are trying to help each other navigate the ups and downs of running a small business while raising kiddos. It’s not always easy, but they always have each other’s back!

One of my favorite brands for little ones. They offer so much: Gear – Feed – Sleep – Bath – Keepsakes – Maternity. This time around they sent me the My Little Dreamy Pillow.

About
“I’m Jane, a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and a Professional Babywearing Educator. I am also an associate member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC), and an industry professional member of the Baby Carrier Industry Alliance (BCIA).
As new parents back in 2016, Ivan and I were exhausted, overwhelmed, but also amazed by the beautiful tiny moments shared with our little one. Those magical bonding moments are what make parenting a joyful adventure!
A few months later, our second son was on his way. As our hearts once again soared with anticipation, Ivan got heavily injured in an accident. With a baby in tow and another on the way, family and friends stepped up for us. Their support helped us stay optimistic and make it through the tough times. Without such a supportive community, we might not have been where we are today.
When we started KeaBabies in 2017, the KeaCommunity became the heart and soul of everything we do. We are here to support you and simplify your life while you enjoy more bonding moments with your little one. Join us in this adventure. Together we raise a happy, healthy, and earth-conscious next generation through positive parenting and sustainable products.
We Give Back on Your Behalf
Here at KeaBabies, everything that we do is only made possible by you. Every year, we will select a few organizations to support, pledging to donate a percentage of our sales on your behalf.
Fun Facts About Us
#1 Our brand’s muse is The Kea, the world’s only alpine parrot. They are well-known for their intelligence and curiosity to survive in harsh mountain environments. The Kea embodies thriving, healthy, happy children who are geniuses in their way and curious about everything under the sun.
#2 We believe in the magic of bonding moments. Our tagline, “Create Wonderful Moments Together” encapsulates the spirit of KeaBabies: inspiring parents to view parenthood as an adventure and form closer bonds with their child.”

These are great gift ideas for my grandbabies. I like the baby skincare products.
What a really wonderful post! These are all really great gift ideas! Thanks for sharing this gift guide with us!
My kids also loved their gifts from Step 2 that we got them. We also got them clothes, book, and one or two other smaller toys since the step 2 toys are usually bigger.
So many amazing ideas! I found the right gift for my nephew!
I have two toddler nieces that I’m going to shop for gifts. You have a lot of great stuff here. Thanks for the ideas!
Loving this post and the fabulous gift ideas suggested throughout. I have a few little ones that I have to shop for and I am loving the tips!
