It is difficult for product developers today when you consider all of the trade issues in reference to product safety and so many other factors. To develop an innovative new product that breaks the mold on product concepts is a tough task to accomplish yet BabyBeeCool has done exactly that! Introducing the BabyBeeCool - Car Seat and Stroller Cooler Pad.

There are so many accessories for strollers and carriers, but who ever imagined that a company would break the mold on using blankets and the other usual amenities. Break the mold on what you may ask? That's simple, the task of overcoming the risk of an infant or child being at risk from the heat of the sun?

BabyBeeCool is a simple, yet effective in multiple ways when it comes to keeping your infant or child from a hot stroller or baby carrier. To start, just imagine how many times you have been holding your child directly or had them in a holder of some sort for children. You go to place your child back in the stroller, carrier, or stroller, discovering that the heat of the sun has made the surface your child is to be placed on, quite hot to the point of possible injury to be incurred. Then you have to take the product out of the sun and wait until it cools off to where your child can be placed without risk or discomfort. BabyBeeCool promotes child safety from situations such as this, especially in cars as well as strollers.

The risk from heat is a serious concern that BabyBeeCool overcome, yet there is still more functionality to the unique design of this product. When I was younger and teaching pre-school, it was all too often that a mother shared how she had something for her infant or child prepared, but ended up having to throw it away because heat had ruined it. The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad serves a dual role as a means to keep liquids and other edibles cool and away from the heat. This can serve as an invaluable tool for mothers when Summer heat is waging war on your nerves and your patience.

When you look at the functionality of the BabyBeeCool Cooling Pad it is such a simple effort to realize and accept its unequaled value for mothers and their infants/children...it truly breaks the mold where others have stopped. The simplicity of such an incredible product is hard to imagine.

Nothing is more impressive to me when testing a product than seeing modesty in reference to the specs given on a product. While other people would prefer to interpret it as just playing it safe, I prefer to see it as being modest when our testing delivered numbers well beyond what the creators of BabyBeeCool provided.

Las Vegas, NV was a testing ground for seeing just how well this product would stand. With temperatures at the time of 104-108 degrees in the day time with a humidity level of 58%, that provided an interesting environment to use for this testing. According to the specs on the BabyBeeCool Cooling Pad, it is supposed to remain cool up to 10 hours. Over a 14 day period of testing, we noted that the BabyBeeCool Cooling Pad had the following results in regard to length of time it remained cool. (My definition of cool is not by degrees, but rather that you could place the pad on your arm and it would give cooling comfort from the sun). Granted, this is not a professional manner of measurement, but working with mothers of infants for hands-on experience in this evaluation, I wanted to keep things as casual as possible.

The results in this portion of my evaluation were as follows;

Car Seat	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5	Day 6	Day 7
	12 hours	11 hours	12 hours	12 hours	13 hours	12 hours	12 hours
Stroller	Day 8	Day 9	Day 10	Day 11	Day 12	Day 13	Day 14
	14 hours	15 hours	13 hours	14 hours	14 hours	14 hours	15 hours

When it comes to time in reference to this product, EVERY single minute is a major milestone. To see this product continue so far beyond what is stated in the specs is commendable. Now understand, what the creators of this product consider COOL and what we determine as being COOL will probably have some variance, but it is doubtful we could have such a vast difference in definition of COOL that it would cause such a drastic difference in measure of time. This establishes that the greater length of time in our testing is most likely reasonably accurate.

The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad is a well built product you can depend upon to last. The product is made with an insulated fabric barrier that in our testing passed with flying colors! We pulled every which way for an extended period of time and washed it 25 times with no change in size or strength of the fabric. To add to the strength of the fabric, it also contains lined pockets to hold two reusable ice packs, keeping seats incredibly cool for up to 10 hours in the extreme summer heat. In our evaluation the product went well beyond 10 hours but you know without question the 10 hours is an absolute.

Please Note: Do not place child on top of cooler pad when child is in the car seat or stroller. Do not cover your child with the cooler pad. This product is for use on the stroller, carrier, and car seat only.

Unique new products have a hard road to travel when they are introduced but the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad has really made its mark and is expected to take the market like a storm. I look forward to seeing this product rise to a commanding success in stores.

While other organizations will define their ratings in a "blanket" method which simply defines each rating in an overall usage, we choose to take a different approach. Each individual rating that was assigned to this a product based upon our evaluation process, is briefly explained as to how that specific rating score was reached. The ratings for this product are listed below.

Comfort: Rating Level 5 - Obviously neither myself or the mothers can tell us from personal experience as to the level of comfort with the use of the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad, but rest assured that every mother who had a hands on experience of using it with their child had nothing but positive raves of excitement to share with others! Every mother shared how they were so impressed how well the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad kept their stroller or car seat while using it. Combined with the guidelines in our evaluation, the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad scored quite well.

Durability: Rating Level 5 - Durability of a product is a vital concern to a mother of an infant or child. When it comes to the level of durability with this product, it was off the scale! The product is made with an insulated fabric barrier. We pulled every which way for an extended period of time and washed it 25 times with no change in size or strength of the fabric. The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad is most definitely made to last through the toughest environments, yet maintain a comfort and quality level that adds greatly to the value.

Innovation: Rating Level 5 - In my personal evaluation and research in reference to other products of similar concept, I found next to nothing even similar to the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad. The design and conceptual use of the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad is quite an innovative undertaking and original without a doubt.

Marketing Value: Rating Level 5 - When it comes to marketing value, the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad holds a very high score. When you combine all the scores from each singular rating and look at the comments expressed by the mothers that got a hands-on experience of using the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad with their infant/child, it is easy to see the marketing value rates are nothing but the best. In combining our evaluation guidelines and the hands-on experience survey responses, the product pulled a perfect score in this rating. It is an excellent product for specialty stores.

Visual Appeal: Rating Level 4 - The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad is quite visually appealing to many women we showed it to but there was a consistent reference to "it looks great, but isn't something I'd go WOW over...it's just appealing." That pretty well spells it out. the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad is visually appealing but not enough to really make it an absolute sell at first. At the same time it is important to remember the function of the product overall. It might be short a point in visual appearance but is well worth the purchase overall.

WOW! Factor™: Rating Level 4 - When it comes to this rating the BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad scored well above average, just one diigit short of a perfect score, but don't be fooled, it still packs a punch that will make it a good sell when you combine all of the ratings together. The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad doesn't have an immediate catalyst of excitement created visually, but a woman IS drawn to look at it more closely, then she begins to see the full value of what it is and why she needs it; a subtle yet absolute method of being appealing.

The BabyBeeCool Cooler Pad has passed our evaluation and can be expected to do quite well in specialty stores at first, but soon after will probably be a hit in most department stores. It is also currently available online. This is a gem of an innovative creation in products for children.
