Our top 5 kid & parent friendly companies!

Recently we asked our friends on Facebook to tell us about their favorite kid friendly business . Today, we thought that it would be great to give you the top 5 businesses that make our list for having kid and parent friendly environments. Here they are!
                                                        
1. No Sugar Added
Location: 141 North Yale Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711-4723

Hours:Mon-Sat 10am-6pm; Sun 10am-3pm

Why we picked them: They sell a variety of eco-friendly products from laundry soap for sensitive skin to cloth diapers. They carry cute clothing for your little one and a variety of educational toys. No Sugar Added has a backroom that is dedicated for nursing, and a place for your kiddos to watch a movie. My shopping experience here was so pleasant due to my 3 year old watching a movie while I shopped. The best part was that I could see him the entire time through the doorway that is decorated with cute curtains that are pulled to the side with a bow. The staff was so friendly and helpful as they are parents themselves. Cheers to No Sugar Added!


2. Victoria Gardens Mall
Location: 12505 North Main Street
#200, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739

Hours:Mon-Thu 10am-9pm; Fri-Sat 10am-10pm; Sun 11am-7pm

Why we picked them: We love the fact that this mall has turned shopping into a family event! They offer a playground full of benches for parents to watch their little one, a water fountain for the kids to play in, and a large grass area that is great for tossing around a bouncy ball. There are many family restrooms that have mini toilets for smaller children, and nursing stations. They offer free movies and concerts in the grass area during the summer to enjoy. So grab your blanket for a picnic and plan a day out at this kid friendly mall!


3. Ralphs Super Market
Why we picked them: They have mini shopping carts for the kids to push around the store. They are usually located near the self checkout lanes.This can be a great experience for the parents if you plan on purchasing a small amount of products. This fun way to shop can provide your child with a great learning experience. Try having your child count the products that they put into the basket, or help you find the next product that you need in an eye spy game. 





4.Jake & Ella online boutique
Why we picked them: Ok, so this kid friendly business is an online store that offers many eco-friendly goodies. They have everything from clothing to natural wellness supplies. Jake & Ella is a great store that supports eco- friendly merchants, and provides parents with resources that offer healthy alternatives for their children. The owners bio  describes the way that they raised their children which consisted of growing a garden, becoming conscious of nature, and living a healthy lifestyle. Jack & Ella is more than an online store, but a great resource for parents who want to live healthier. Thank you Jake & Ella!

5.The Americana at Brand in Glendale, Ca
Why we picked them:This is by far the most baby/kid friendly mall we have been to!! There are two private nursing stations plus two private rooms with changing tables and complimentary wipes and diapers. The rooms are in the back of the concierge area, by the women's bathrooms. They even have a open grass and a playground area for the older kids. We give this venue 5 stars!!!
