On-the-go Be Quick for Entertainment of Busy Little Hands

Perhaps you're heading out with a friend for lunch or you and your spouse would like to be able to run out to dinner, but don't feel like dragging around half of the house for a few hours out with your little one. For times like these feeding accessories, such as the Siliskin lids, EZ Squeezies reusable food pouches, RePlay Spoons, and a Lil' Sidekick tether, along with a little amusement, such as Baby Paper, make up a perfect one-the-go package.

• Lil' Sidekick -  this multi-functional tether is made of soft, BPA-free material and keeps a multitude of items from landing on the floor, be it silverware, a teether or a toy. Never end up needing to clean all of baby's accessories just because they fell on the dirty floor.
• Board Book - wonderful for little hands to explore and practice telling stories, we have a ton in stock to choose from!
• Wacky Links - Let your child use their imagination to connect colorful tubes with themed charms. Create bracelets, back pack charms, crazy critters, and much much more!

Wacky Links is a fabulous kit compiled of colorful, malleable tubes which can be cut to any length and connected to our iconic charms! (recommended for ages 3+)

• Ju-Ju-Be Coin Purse - great for keeping your ID, band-aids, a credit card and some spare change or cash handy without getting lost in your Be Quick bag.

On-the-go Be Quick for meal time.

Perhaps you're heading out with a friend for lunch or you and your spouse would like to be able to run out to dinner, but don't feel like dragging around half of the house for a few hours out with your little one. For times like these feeding accessories, such as the Siliskin lids, EZ Squeezies reusable food pouches, RePlay Spoons, and a Lil' Sidekick tether, along with a little amusement, such as Baby Paper, make up a perfect one-the-go package.

Tip: EZ Squeezies can be filled and then frozen to take "refrigerated" on the go whenever you need. This will keep the food from needing an extra bag and ice pack. After being out and about for a little while, the food in the pouch should be perfectly thawed for baby to eat, yet nice and cool to soothe gums that may be experiencing teething!

• Siliskin lids - great for turning any cup into a toddler-friendly sippy cup.
• Lil' Sidekick - this multi-functional tether is made of soft, BPA-free material and keeps a multitude of items from landing on the floor, be it silverware, a teether or a toy. Never end up needing to clean all of baby's accessories just because they fell on the dirty floor.

Cloth diapering doesn't get any easier than this super adjustable diaper that comes in both a snap and hook & loop option!
• Re-Play Infant Spoons - Infant spoons were designed to compliment both feeding baby and baby self-feeding. Re-Play utensils are made from recycled milk jugs (HDPE recycled plastic), so not only are they better for your child, they are better for your environment! Mix and match utensils with our plates, bowls, and cups to create a vibrant dinnerware set! PVC, BPA and phthalate free, with a convenient carrying case to keep them stored until the next use.
