Child-friendly Business Blog

This blog was created to increase the awareness of the need for businesses to provide responsible safe engagement for small children who must wait-even for short periods of time-in an office, lobby, showroom, or clinic.
Are you a mom, dad, grandparent, teacher, business owner? Do you have personal experience with child-friendly or non child-friendly businesses?
If so, we encourage you to share your thoughts by commenting on our posts.

"The Worst Waiting Area for Kids" Contest


We are launching a "worst ever kids waiting area"contest. If you have a cell phone to easily grab a picture of a play area that needs attention, please take a quick shot of it, and send it in to us. We are looking for places that have loose toys, broken toys, dirty toys. We know they are out there, and if that happens to be your pediatrician, your dentist, or your local restaurant, let us know. The "winner" of the "worst ever waiting area" will be given a Finger Fun Play Table, as long as they promise to clean up their act and get rid of all of the hazards to children by replacing loose toys with with this safe alternative. The person who enters the photo will win a choice of either a $50 Kiddinaround.com gift certificate or $25 in cash.

So get your cameras out and if you spot a non-kid -friendly waiting area let us know by sending the name and location of the place with a photo. Pictures speak louder than words, but if you need to vent and send along a few words about how they "just don't get it", feel free to do that also.

All entries can be mailed to customercare@kiddinaround.com. The "winner" will be announced in our newsletter.
