Drop It Baby-A suction cup ring chain that attaches to toys, bottles, and more that finally ends the "Drop It Game" keeping it all off dirty floors.
Ava The Elephant- is a singing medicine dispenser that has helped millions of children take their unwanted medicine.
The Market
Millions of babies are born each year
The market for baby care products in 2021 is currently $70.52B and is expected to continue to grow by 6.2% CAGR to 88 Billion by 2027.
This market’s sustained growth has been characterized in recent years by a shift away from big global brands and parents are seeking out higher quality products with fewer chemicals.
Better Family’s products are especially appealing to today's modern parents that are working from home.
Our Traction
Five patented products, from Shark Tank to Walmart
Better Family’s proprietary products have been met with massive enthusiasm in the marketplace. We are currently available in these large retailers Walmart, Buy Buy Baby, Burlington, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Amazon. Two of our patented products the Beebo and Ava The Elephant have both appeared on Shark Tank and received deals.
The Beebo, Swabbies, Drop It Baby, and Ava The Elephant are trademarked and patented. Swabbies and Drop It Baby both completed successful crowdfunding campaigns; Swabbies on Indiegogo and Drop It Baby on Kickstarter.
What We Do
Parenting is hard enough — Better Family is here to give you a helping hand
Our flagship products are designed with parents, grandparents, and children in mind — offering better solutions while giving babies the best care possible.
Beebo gives parents a free hand during feeding time thanks to a unique rotating bottle holder. The design holds the bottle at the perfect angle for your baby while resting on either shoulder. This way holding a book for story-time is no longer such a struggle.

Parents these days don’t have a minute to spare, so finding a product that cuts down on time while ensuring the safety and health of their babies is a no-brainer.

The suction cup base with attached ring chain allows for their favorite items to be readily accessible off dirty floors while keeping your hands free. With our handy attachments which safely stretch over and secure objects of various sizes like a bottle, sippy cups, electronics, and toys.
Ava the Elephant is a Singing Medicine Dispenser that is designed to make medicine time easier. The adorable design of Ava, plays and sings encouraging music. The ability to dispense medicine one-handed makes it quick and easy.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
