Perfect for little pirates, this high-seas apron may be worn while doing crafts, helping to cook or just eating, in place of a traditional bib.

Alimrose Designs Squeakers and Rattles feature baby-safe fabrics. They are easy for infants to hold and yet fun enough for toddlers to play with. The [squeaker] sound is not too annoying for parents,” Tracey Vieira of distributor Cute-ture told TDmonthly. “The rattles are matching prints with soft bells or rattle sounds.” MSRP ranges from $19.95 to $29.95 within the line. Launch date for new range: October 2007.

Alimrose Designs has bought its very popular squeakers, bibs and rattles to the United States. The Pirate Sqeaker, like the others in the line, is easy for baby to use and supplies plenty of fun reactions from little captains. Each squeaker has matching rattles and bibs that make it easy to retail as a package. “Our toys are a return to simple lines that have been staples for children for many years. Our products are baby safe and allow children to be inspired with their imaginations and senses,” Tracey Vieira of Cute-ture, the exclusive U.S. distributor for Alimrose, told TDmonthly. Launch date: July 2007.
