You may have heard of our Lifesaver Mat.

The Lifesaver is the show-stealing superhero of our change mat family. It’s flashy. It’s functional. It’s everything implied in its name and more.

But what you may not realize, is that the Lifesaver Mat is actually part of a Dynamic Duo.

Meet the Lifesaver Mini. The lesser known sidekick of the Lifesaver.

Don’t be fooled by its smaller size.

Despite its “faithful sidekick” status, the Lifesaver Mini is the quiet and consistent hero you may not have realized that you need… until now.

Because, let’s face it, not all heroes wear capes.

It doesn’t take much to save someone’s day.

Feats of strength are not required.

Nor is the body to pull off a spandex “supersuit”.

In fact, heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

It could be a friend.

The one who writes a validating comment on your “Kidz 4 Sale” Facebook post.

It could be a stranger at the grocery store.

The one who spots your toddler’s looming meltdown and subtly clears the aisle for you, like...

A flight attendant.

The one who sees a lone parent travelling with their furious womb goblins and swoops in (like a fairy godmother) with snacks, a smile, and an extra set of hands.

Or your delivery room nurse.

You know, the one who held your barf bag. Brought you ice chips.

The same motherly looking nurse who subtly encouraged you to swear at your partner, while your child was making their unwilling entrance into the world.

In our experience it is, most often, the simplest things that can have the most impact.

And that is the philosophy we used in the design of this heroic little sidekick: The Lifesaver Mini.

A deceptively uncomplicated product, this unsung hero is not to be underestimated. And here’s why:

Waterproof Bottom Layer: The bottom layer of the diaper change mat is lined with a medical grade waterproof material. Now you can lay your baby down for a nap on your single girlfriend’s prized mattress without any worries.

Baby Stays Dry: This thirsty combination of naturally wicking material will absorb a torrent of liquid and will still keep the surface feeling dry.

Safe For Baby & Environment: The waterproof barrier is phthalate, BPA and lead and heavy metal free.

Sized Perfectly: The change mat is sized at a convenient 18’’ x 22’’ (46 cm. x 56 cm). This means it will cuddle snugly into your diaper bag, without causing a “Code Vesuvius” overflowing situation.

One Mat, Multiple Uses: Changing diapers isn’t the only trick this skilled sidekick knows.You can use this mat as a play mat when going to the park or visiting a friend's place. It also serves as a portable sleeping area when going on trips or visiting relatives. Using our crib pad ensures that your child doesn't leave a yellow trail on Granny's tempurpedic mattress.

Pre-Washed; No Shrink: We pre-washed the organic bamboo to get rid of any shrinkage before sewing it with the waterproof barrier.

And YES! It can go into the dryer: This protector doesn't mind the dryer. You can put it into your dryer at regular heat and it (including the waterproof barrier) will be tickety-boo.

Awesome Gift Idea: No matter the sex of the child or whether your friend decides to use disposable or cloth diapers- one thing is for sure- she will most likely change her baby’s diaper every couple of hours. Hey, she might even take the baby out once in a while. Your friend will love this as a baby shower gift. Or a birthday gift. Or if you hate her sense of style and want to give her an elegantly designed, classic piece that does not scream Disney characters.

Parenting itself is complicated enough.

So we at Lil Helper do our best to put simple but impactful tools in the hands of our customers.

With straightforward but mighty products like the Lifesaver Mini, you can be the hero who is prepared to tackle any crisis you may encounter in the pursuit of parenting.

Bonus: The Lifesaver Mini can be used as a cape.

So the next time you circumvent childrearing chaos, tie that bad boy around your neck and strike your best “I am a superhero mom/dad” pose.
