When my daughter was very young I would have to lay down beside her to get her to fall asleep. She did not want to sleep alone, she was afraid of the “monsters” under her bed. When I would get up she would then wake again and the process would start all over again or I would just have to sleep in her bed all night or let her sleep with me.

Mumoocie is a one of a kind patented pillow originally designed to help parents get their kids to sleep in their own beds and help with the issue of co-sleeping as millions of children are afraid to sleep alone and believe in the monsters under the bed. The number of children who co-sleep with their parents is surprising; 35-55% of preschoolers sleep with one or more of their parents. That means a potential 17 to 26 million children in the United States alone that co sleep with parents and have a need for the Mumoocie co-sleeping pillow.
The curved shape of Mumoocie fits snugly behind the child once they are asleep so they feel comforted and secure as if the parent were still lying beside them. Finally children will be able to sleep alone in their own bed which means parents can finally sleep in their own bed. The use of quality high density foam and the weight of it keep Mumoocie in place behind the child and also retain the child's body heat, which helps the child feel like they are not alone. The soft outer cover is cozy and warm and retains any scent you like so the child can have their parents familiar fragrance close by. Its zipper allows for easy on and off and the fabric is durable and washable. There is a hidden pocket where a mini voice recorder is placed and a short loving message can be recorded and played and changed as often as you like.
Mumoocie has also been very well received by adults and used as a spooning body pillow. This makes Mumoocie pillow’s target market from toddlers to adults. There are many adults who don't like to sleep alone or for health reasons find that they can't sleep in the same bed with their spouse. Mumoocie is very comforting for many in this situation as well as for adults in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. For children, Mumoocie is placed behind their body and for adults it is placed in front. Once again the curved shape fits snugly and comfortably to any body shape and size.

I am married with two beautiful children and both wanted me to sleep with them at night. After researching products on the market I knew I needed to create my own solution so I partnered with two other moms both of who I knew for years prior who expressed a great passion for the product so through development, and testing; now we are ready to bring to market.
Mumoocie was originally designed with only children in mind but a mom wanted one because she said she liked to spoon pillows at night while she slept and ours which is made to fit the curves of your body unlike standard pillows was easier to spoon made it very desirable to her. We made a You Tube video with her in mind called America loves to spoon and I guess so because so far we have had over 50,000 hits on the video.
PROLOCK® Propane Safety Cap is a safety cap that fits over the valve handle on recreational propane tanks designed for child safety and to prevent tampering. It installs in seconds, is very durable, designed in a safety green color and comes with a lock, two keys and a distinctive key chain, a reminder to secure the tank. It will bring peace of mind to all parents, grandparents, campers, RVers, all outdoor enthusiasts using propane tanks.
The idea for PROLOCK® Propane Safety Cap came about many years ago when my youngest daughter and her friends decided to play house in our backyard and turned on the propane tank on our BBQ. Luckily I smelled the propane gas, turned off the valve handle, avoiding possible injury. I made up my mind then I'd invent something to protect other kids from doing the same thing or anyone from tampering with the tank. As happens, life got in the way and due to illness, PROLOCK® was put on the shelf for awhile. My youngest daughter is now a young lady and the product she inspired is now on the market. Now, more than ever PROLOCK® is needed to give peace of mind to all using recreational propane tanks.

I’m Thomas W. Borter and I started inventing safety products a number of years ago. My other products are PIN MASTER, a tool for changing teeth on backhoe buckets fast and safely and CENTER IT, a v-block for drill presses that holds tubes and round stock secure, avoiding hand injury. I look forward to the safety and security my latest product, PROLOCK® Propane Safety Cap will bring to so many people. I’m pleased that my wife and kids are involved in our family business.
Since bringing PROLOCK® Propane Safety Cap to the market took much longer than I originally planned and I felt it was a much needed product for child safety, I was especially pleased to receive the following awards: the 2008 National Hardware Show -- Retailers' Choice Award of Distinction; Homewares/HomeWorld Bronze Best of Class and United Inventors Assoc. Best Inventor's Product; the Handyman Club Member Tested &Recommended Seal of Approval, a Small Business Grant from HandBookLive.com and was featured on a segment of NBC Philadelphia.

Oh, my goodness!! what peace of mind this inexpensive yet simple device brings. It provides such protection not only from thieves but from accidents caused by inquisitive litle fingers. Propane is not to be triffled with and Prolock on our tank … more provides a real measure of confidence and safety which we have never experienced before. We would not be without this!!!

Great idea! Bought Prolock for my propane tank that's attached to my RV. Over the years, I have had vandals try to steal my tank or simply turn on tank for kicks. Prolock has stopped all my worries... place Prolock over value handle and rest easy. That's … more what I did!! Thanks!!

Good looking product, but the write-up needs some love. It repeats itself and has a few grammar failures.

I'm a grandmother of a 2 year old. The mumoocie comes in very handy when my grand daughter comes to spend the night away from Mommy and Daddy. I'm not used to having a little one sleep in my bed, so I lay her down in the spare bed with the mumoocie and … more we both sleep comfortably through the night.

As a mom I get it. What a great idea. I need one of these. My 4 year old daughter crawls in my bed every night at 1230 am just like clock work. My husband and I do not agree if it is ok or not.This would make everyone happy in my household.
