June 24th, 2010

Tommee Tippee, Great Britain’s #1 Infant and Toddler Feeding Brand, is available at Babies“R”Us stores nationwide.

Tommee Tippee®, the leading brand from the UK-based Mayborn Group Limited and the number-one brand of infant and toddler feeding products in Great Britain, announced today that its line of Closer to Nature® baby bottles, nipples, pacifiers and feeding accessories, as well as its Explora® toddler cups and feeding products, are available in Canada. Through an agreement with Babies“R”Us and Toys“R”Us, the world’s leading dedicated toy and baby products retailer, Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature and Explora infant and toddler feeding products are now available in Canada exclusively at babiesrus.ca and in Babies“R”Us stores nationwide.

Since the introduction of the original Tommee Tippee cup, a truly spillproof child cup, 45 years ago, Tommee Tippee has earned a reputation for its clever ideas, product quality and simply intuitive designs as children make the transition from first latch to independent feeding. Today, Tommee Tippee uses nature to inspire its scientifically designed products that provide comfort for babies and children and peace of mind for parents in 46 countries around the world.

“Generations of mums and their children around the world have grown up with Tommee Tippee,” said Steve Parkin, CEO of Mayborn. “Our brand and our products are synonymous with childhood. We partner with parents to understand their needs in depth and develop products that exceed their expectations. Unsurprisingly, mums universally want the same thing–high-quality products that help baby grow and thrive and give mum confidence that she is doing the best for her baby. Bringing these products to mums here in Canada is an exciting and important step for us.”

Real-world input and experience drives new Tommee Tippee products and innovations. The company’s Closer to Nature line of baby bottles, for example, was inspired by nature, and developed in conjunction with midwives, breastfeeding mothers and babies throughout Great Britain to provide easier and more natural feeding.

The resulting dome-shaped baby bottle and ultra-soft, ultra-wide and supple nipple closely resembles the size, shape, flex, and movement of breastfeeding. Those attributes make feeding a more comfortable and intuitive bonding experience for parent and child and supports easy switching from breast to bottle and back again, an important consideration for parents who want to continue breastfeeding but also need the convenience of a bottle.

“Moms and babies in Canada are simply going to fall in love with Tommee Tippee products,” predicts Brenda Liistro, General Manager of Mayborn North America. “Once moms and babies use our products and experience how simply intuitive they are, they will understand why moms in the UK purchase a new Tommee Tippee product every three seconds.”

The Closer to Nature line of baby bottles, nipples, pacifiers and accessories includes ingeniously clever and intuitively functional sterilizers, a bottle and food warmer, a bottle and nipple cleaner, spill-proof weaning cups, a portable powder formula dispenser, and bibs for children up to 18 months.

Closer to Nature bottles feature an ultra-sensitive anti-colic valve that lets babies feed at their own pace with less air, vacuum build-up and nipple collapse. The simply intuitive bottle shape provides a more comfortable hold and breastfeeding-like closeness. All Closer to Nature bottles are Bisphenol A (BPA) –free and phthalate compliant.

The Tommee Tippee Explora line includes BPA-free toddler drinking and feeding products to help children and their parents through the weaning process – from first sips and nibbles to toddler independence and self- feeding – by easing transitions along the way and helping to reduce stress and mess at mealtime.

Explora products feature advance-flo™ valves, designed by a physicist to require almost no force to drink from, thereby easing the transition to a cup while still remaining truly spill-proof and leak-proof. Each Explora cup is progressively staged with a specific spout and grip to meet the needs of every age while supporting natural oral development. Bright colours, appealing designs and coordinating mealtime products reflect the individual styles of moms and their children, while making drinking and eating fun.
