Etadel, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to provide this overview which describes our company, our

services and potential licensing opportunities. The concept of “making life easier” for new parents has perpetuated many devices and tools existing today. Age old equipment invented years ago continues to evolve as new technologies and ideologies encourage improvements for better and easier use. One item that has not changed relative to other inventions is the stroller. Over the past 200 years, inventors have managed only slow variations on a theme, always utilizing the basic seat and attached basket. The stroller’s design has come to a saturation point; designers have nearly run out of ideas. Current designs on the market merely focus on manufacturing a better look, better feel, better color, or better material. Eventually, any further change in this direction will no longer attract or arouse the interest of consumers unless innovative changes are made that tackle contemporary issues and implement them into the design of the stroller.

Changing a baby’s dirty diapers can be challenging away from home. Twenty years ago, before the baby changing table became popular or even required, changing baby’s diaper in public was implausible. Families with infants planned each excursion carefully before venturing from their homes, sometimes leaving one adult and the infant home while the other parent ran errands.[2] Today, modern parents carry diaper bags which can include a diaper changing pad – a vinyl pad that, when placed on a hard surface, facilitates the diaper changing process. Using the pad often involves placing it on the dirty ground, on a park bench, or on a dirty surface in a public restroom. The pad creates a barrier to the filth beneath it. In the long run, the pad itself may not be sanitary as it comes in direct contact with dirty surfaces and then is stored in the baby bag along with baby’s other items.

In addition, changing stations have been made available in public places such as restaurant restrooms. That does not guarantee, though, that the public changing station will be hygienic since some people abuse the privilege or if the restroom is not well maintained. The drawback, however, is the requirement of a trip to the restroom, which may not be easily accessible as well as the occasional “unsanitary conditions associated with the changing station.”[3] In some cases, the restroom may not even be furnished with a changing table especially in the case of the men’s room. Some inventors have created the portable changing table, however, these are often awkward contraptions that require complex assembly. Moreover, they take up valuable space and weight in a parent’s bag. A changing table which is sanitary, readily available, and easily assembled would fill the apparent gap in today’s market.

Our product, the BabyDeck™ Stroller Changing Table incorporates the diaper changing table into the design of a standard baby stroller. Our unique changing table device easily adapts to various strollers on the market without changing their standard operating features. Unlike other portable changing tables, the user need not carry a changing pad to place over the ground or on a bench. The stroller itself is the changing table. It’s hygienic and easy to use. After the diaper has been changed, the waterproof material can be easily cleaned with antibacterial wipes. Folded up, the changing table is hidden from view and fits neatly into the seat compartment. The integration of the stroller and the changing table relieves busy parents from searching for a restroom with a clean changing table.
