2 Red Hens Toy Nanny: Is it a blanket? Is it a toy tote? It’s BOTH!

It can be challenging going from play dates to visiting relatives to home with a baby.  When my kids were little, I would stuff a backpack with toys and a blanket, as you never knew what you would need when you are a busy mom with a little one on the go.  A clean blanket is essential, as you want to protect your child from dirty floors or pet hair or a lawn outside.  Toys, of course, are necessary for play so mom can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while visiting.

2 Red Hens Studio Toy Nanny is a unique item that doubles as both a play mat and a fashionable toy tote:

  • The most ingenious thing to hit the baby market since disposable diapers!
  • This floor blanket quickly cinches up into a toy tote
  • 8 mesh pockets to keep small pieces in place
  • Soft velour interior and water resistant back
  • Hauling toys from Grandmas, to play dates, to the back yard has never been easier

Well, I don’t find disposable diapers ingenious, and I actually take offense at that part of the product description.  I also wish the fabrics were more eco-friendly.

The outer fabric of the Toy Nanny  is made from PEVA cotton, a safer alternative to PVC with the same sort of shiny, easy to wipe up, water resistant qualities.  This fabric is used in safer shower curtains.  The Daily Green explains:

Enter PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate). This is a chlorine-free vinyl that’s starting to be used in lots of products like toys and baby bibs as a replacement for PVC, along with EVA, PVA and PVB. Its lack of chlorine doesn’t make it (or the others) perfect — they are still petrochemical products full of untested chemicals — but it’s a step in the right direction in the attempt to find green polymers and PVC alternatives.

The interior is 100% polyester.

I like how the straps cinch up to become the toy tote, but I could not figure out how to easily just fold it and use the loop in button the way the product came. I was reminded of folding a map 🙂

Zullily has identified this as a “must have” for moms, and I can see its practicality, as well as its “vintage chic for modern mamas”.  You can find 2 Red Hens on Facebook too.
