Melissa Maffei and Melissa Van Flandern, founders of tottini, a drool-worthy Seattle-based
children’s boutique with a full retail store online at www.tottini.com, showcase their best
offerings for an ease-filled summer on the go.
“We started our company with the mission of bringing a functional mix of fashionable, urban
designs to parents of modern tots. As new mothers, we both found ourselves increasingly frustrated with the amount of time and lackluster resources available to us as we began the process of decorating our nurseries, and later, our children’s rooms. We both have an eye for design—and a penchant for sticking to budgets—and wanted to create a new retail resource that combined the two.
In 2006, we founded tottini and have been taking pride in our fresh and inspiring products—and our ability to provide our customers with high design on a down-to-earth budget—ever since.
Mindful not only of design but also of our environment, the majority of tottini’s products are all-natural, organic or crafted from sustainable materials—and oftentimes all three. Inspired by aesthetic form and the functional need for quality, our children’s products can endure in even the busiest households.
You can shop for all our favorite designers, such as Argington, Monte Design, Stokke and Skip Hop, conveniently online at www.tottini.com! All shoppers can save 10 percent off their first online purchase with the code TOT10.
As mothers ourselves, we know how busy moms can get, so here are a few of our top picks for the season—whether at the beach, the park or simply on the go.”

ZoLi On-the-Go, $15 “The ZoLi On-the-Go makes feeding your baby so easy! Each individual container keeps formula or snacks fresh until you need them. Then, the easy-pour spout transfers the contents into a bottle or cup without spills or mess. The easy stacking system lets you decide how many you want to take with you. And the tall stacking format makes it easy to locate in your diaper bag.” |
 |
Woollyhoodwinks vs. the Dark Patch, $15.95 “We absolutely love this adorable book, Woollyhoodwinks vs. the Dark Patch. Based on the Woollyhoodwinks dolls, the book’s intricate illustrations remarkably resemble landscapes stitched from colorful patterned fabrics, and the Woollyhoodwinks’ funny antics appeal to the dreamer in everyone.” |

Baby Silk Sunscreen Towelettes, $26
“Let’s face it—kids hate having sunscreen applied! Now we don’t leave home without these SPF 30+ Baby Silk Sunscreen Towelettes. They are incredibly soft, gentle and are enriched with vitamins and aloe. They are so easy to throw in a diaper bag or purse, and they don’t create a mess! And they are dermatologist approved to protect babies from UV rays at any age.” |

Fleurville Lunch Pak, $32 “Your preschool kids will LOVE this cute striped lunchbox! Perfect for a picnic at the park or a day on the go, the Fleurville Lunch Pak (shown here in Cocoa Stripe) is fully insulated and has an easy-to-clean interior. Plus kids love that they can easily wear it as a hip backpack.” |

Clek Olli Booster Seat, $95 “This super-chic Clek Olli Booster Seat features an award-winning design to keep your precious cargo safe while still providing a comfortable, secure way to let your older kids ride in style (for children between 40 and 57 inches and 40 to 100 pounds).” |
 |
Kokopax Classic Carrier, $180 “We love the Kokopax Classic Carrier not only for its fashionable design, but for its versatility for everyday life—it’s incredibly lightweight and has an adjustable frame for a perfect fit. Plus, the kickstand for easy loading and padded waist support make it comfortable for both parents and kids.” |

What the heck does "Special Section" mean? Well, it means that these businesses paid a small (like, pretty darn small) fee to be included. THE FAMILY GROOVE strives to support mom and pop businesses by giving them a venue for their super cool sites, ideas and products—and, quite honestly, we strive to pay our bills, too. So we've taken seven articles a month (out of 25+) and made them fun and exciting ways to promote the next best thing, much like in the way a publicist would. We believe in the companies we feature. We research, vet, scrutinize, analyze and obsess over every single solitary company that is included in this section to bring you the grooviest of the groovy. We're all in this brave new world together, right? And so we've got to support each other in any and every way we can. We hope you dig our finds as much as we do.
