Tray Vous

30 Second Mom Twitter Party! Tonight, 6:00pm, PST, #30secondmom

2012-02-22T15:35:00.000-08:00

One of the most rewarding experiences on my journey of creating Tray Vous, has been the tremendous support I have received from other Moms, Dads, Entrepreneurs and Parenting groups. One such Mom in particular is Elisa All, Founder of the wonderful site, 30 Second Mom. Not only did Elisa provide encouragement and enthusiasm over my endeavors with Tray Vous, she saw something in me and asked me to be a contributing member of the 30 Second Mom Community.

30 Second Mom is a stream-based mobile website featuring an interenational panel of women who share quick tips on everything from food, health, money, home, travel, beauty, kids and more...each in about 30 seconds or less. Oh, and did I mention we now have an app for your iPhone???

I'm so proud to be a member of this wonderful group of women. One of the fun contributions from the 30 Second Mom community is our weekly Twitter Parties, featuring a Subject Matter Expert on a weekly topic that will hopefully be helpful to moms out there. Tonight, I am so very excited to be the "expert" discussing all things Strollers! We all know how important, expensive, essential our strollers are so tonight we will be discussing quick tips on how to choose the best stroller, how to maintain your stroller and what are some of the best accessories out there! As well we will be talking about cool gadgets for parents.

For those of you on Twitter, (I'm pretty brand new myself) Please join us tonight for the fun!
The party is from 6-7pm PST tonight...#30secondmom.

Oh!!! Best part??? we will be giving away a few Tray Vous to some lucky participants! They make the perfect gift for that upcoming Baby Shower! Check out 30 Second Mom on Facebook and the web to learn more about this wonderful resource, perfect for a busy parent on the go like you!

Wallaby Darned!

2011-09-18T20:27:00.000-07:00

Australia has always held a very special place in my heart. When I was 14, my Dad took the whole family there for a work trip. We flew Quantas Airlines (Amazing) and spent 14 days in one of the most incredible places I have ever been to. We marveled at the Opera House, scuba dived at the Great Barrier Reef and met some of the nicest people in the world.

Since then, I fell in love with Auatralia...and don't laugh, I actually even waitressed at Outback Steakhouse in Arizona post college :)

Never in a million years did I think, 22 years later, I would receonnect with Australia in such a special way.

I am so proud to announce, that Tray Vous is now officially distributed in Australia! So many of you Down Under have been eager to get your hands on a Tray Vous but just couldn't justify the expensive international shipping and duties. Well the wait is over!

Please visit us at www.trayvous.com/australia and get your tray now, delivered locally at a significant saving!

Thanks for your support and patience while we expanded....I just know you will feel it was worth the wait!

Happy Labor Day!

Thinking outside of the tray

2011-08-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

My kids can be quite funny. Sure, they love to use our Tray Vous in the traditional sense...but sometimes they like to mix it up. My son, always the character, likes for me to remove the tray portion so he can rest his feet on the carry handle :) The Tray Vous connectors angle the carry handle perfectly for this kind of cool lounging!

My daughter, now 5, has outgrown our Cameleon, but she was more than thrilled to model (in her P.J.s) how she used to love reclining back and using the tray to hold her book.

Do your kids have a fun way of using their Tray Vous? Share it here!

Tray Vous, Woof Woof!

2011-07-24T22:49:00.000-07:00

I just received these amazing photos from one of my customers. How great to learn that Tray Vous can even make life with your dog more convenient! At the park or in a dog friendly restaurant...now there is one less thing to worry about!

Customer Feedback Makes Me Smile!

2011-07-19T17:36:00.000-07:00

Now that Tray Vous has been available for purchase, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing back from my customers about how satisfied they are with my product. As a parent who originally created Tray Vous to make my life easier and more enjoyable for my toddler, I'm so happy to know families all over the world are experiencing the same benefits from their tray.

Here's a few that made me smile from ear to ear......Thanks to these special customers and the many others who have written me over the past several weeks. It's parents like you that make the journey worthwhile!

"We are using the tray every day with my 11 months and it is great. It is a must!!!! We could not live without it (I'm serious). A lot of people are stopping me in the street to ask me where I've purchased it. Many thanks!"

Anika, from Canada

" First of all, I’d like to say that I LOVE your product!!! What an excellent idea!
I’d like to commend you on your honesty and quality control…many developers wouldn’t have reached out to their customers at all, never mind provided them with the improved version of the product. As for the evolution of products, my husband is an engineer and has gone through the development process many times, so we are familiar with the amount of time it takes and how products need to be used buy the customer to work out all the bugs (despite having gone through a thorough testing process). Again, I commend you on your time, effort, and honesty. Good luck with this product and any other future ideas you have in mind. It is a pleasure dealing with your company" J

New Production Has Arrived!! Accepting Orders Once Again!

2011-07-08T18:54:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone who waited so patiently for the next round of Tray Vous' prodcution! The trays have arrived and the shopping cart has been re-activated!

I've added a feature to the tray that I hope you will love! Although the tray was designed to fit very snugly around the carry handle on it's own, some toddlers were still removing their tray far too easily. Therefore, I've added three velcro anchoring straps that discreetly wrap around the stroller's carry handle. The best part is, the straps are removable if you so choose not to use them!

I look forward to your business soon!

Production Update

2011-06-07T17:48:00.000-07:00

Tray Vous has been very busy with our second production line. Thanks for the helpful feedback from our first production run customers, I have made some changes and enhancements to the product that I think everyone will appreciate!

Due to the changes in manufacturing, it will be two more weeks before Tray Vous is available and the shopping cart is re-activated.

Thank you so much for your patience! I look forward to your business soon!

Patent Approved!

2011-05-17T14:26:00.000-07:00

It is a very proud day for Tray Vous. After almost three years of patiently waiting for review, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has officially allowed and as of today has published my Utility Patent Application! Patent No: US7942437B2.

I can't think of better validation that Tray Vous is in fact unique! Still waiting on my international filings but fingers crossed!
