About Me
My name is Kim Hardin, and I am a designer of children’s products located outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I started my career as a toy designer working on well known girls brands. After having my four kids, I realized my new perspective as a parent gave me valuable insight as a designer for children's products. I loved to see my daughters in beautiful dresses when they were crawling and learning to walk. At that age, they were always on the move - crawling, pulling up on things, and practicing their new steps. However, their pretty dresses would always get in the way and cause them to trip, fall, or slip. I wanted to invent a dress they could wear that did not inhibit crawling, climbing, or standing. The solution also needed to be comfortable for the child and easy for the caregiver.

Inspiration
The inspiration for this patented design began while watching
my daughter struggle to crawl in her dress as shown in the video. I was motivated to design a dress that solved this challenge. This dress features a unique design that allows for an easy transformation that reveals an alternative look while ensuring comfort for little ones on the move.
