The first thing we'd like you to know: we're not like other children's companies. For one thing, our parent company, Chelsea & Scott literally is a "parent company!" We were founded by two real life parents, Karen and Ian Scott, who wanted the best for their own children.

Frustrated by products that looked terrific in stores and catalogs, but didn't live up to their promises, the Scotts traded in Fortune 500 careers to pursue their vision of a different kind of baby company.

A company that subjects its products to tough, hands on testing, by both professional merchandisers and an independent Parents' Panel. One that does the comparison shopping upfront, and then offers only the top performers. One that tracks down innovative, hard-to-find helpers—and when they can't be found, has its Design Team create them from scratch.
