"This past year has been such an amazing journey – pouring my creativity and fashion experience into designing unique pieces and everyday styles for kids across the country. And, I'm truly excited to be celebrating the first birthday of my Truly Scrumptious brand with Babies"R"Us," said Heidi Klum. "Whether parents and gift-givers are looking for an adorable bow-tie for their little man, a fancy tutu for their pint-sized princess or cozy, holiday-themed pajamas for their children to wear this winter, they will have great, new fashions to choose from at Babies"R"Us."

Ensembles for Tots to Spend the Holidays Dressed in Style
The latest additions to the Truly Scrumptious collection will begin rolling into all Babies"R"Us stores across North America, as well as online at Babiesrus.com/HeidiKlum, on Saturday, October 12, just in time for the holiday dress-up season. These items, designed with fashionable flair and a dash of merriment, will undoubtedly top parents' and gift-givers' checklists as they shop for festive attire for their tiny tots. The assortment of apparel and accessories includes layette for little ones' sizes newborn to 24 months, as well as playwear and separates for kids' sizes 2T to 5T, and range from $4.99 to $39.99.

From leopard-print dresses, red-lined winter coats and fleece jackets with hoods and capes, to printed leggings, adorable monster bowties and snug hats, the assortment boasts a combination of fabrics to deliver both comfort and style. The collection also encompasses matching bibs with hats, booties and socks designed in leopard and monster styles, as well as warm pajamas, including mini snowman and elf designs for Santa's smallest helpers.

Project Doodle Contest Winners' Save the Children T-Shirts Come to Life in Stores
Earlier this year, Babies"R"Us hosted the Project Doodle Contest, encouraging little artists to submit hand-drawn creations for a chance to have their design featured on t-shirts that would be included in the Truly Scrumptious by Heidi Klum Fall collection. Design guru Heidi Klum led a panel of judges in choosing ten finalists, which were then posted on the Babies"R"Us Facebook page for public voting. The winning t-shirts, featuring adorable monsters, were designed by Faith, 5, from Orlando, Florida and Deryk, 6, from McAllen, Texas. Both shirts are now available at Babies"R"Us stores nationwide and online at Babiesrus.com/HeidiKlum. In conjunction with the Project Doodle Contest, Babies"R"Us donated $50,000 to benefit Save the Children's U.S. Programs and, with the launch of these new designs, has provided an additional contribution of $50,000 to the company's long-standing charitable partner to further its efforts to help children and families in times of need.

New Fall Diaper Bags Elevate Style Factor for Fashion-Conscious Parents
Moms and dads looking to bring all of their little one's must-haves with them while on the go will find all-new, fashion-forward and affordable Truly Scrumptious diaper bags available at Babies"R"Us in late October. The four unique styles, ranging in price from $59.99 to $79.99, feature trendy designs, neutral colors, plush fabrics and special details, making them look and feel more like a favorite purse than a carryall. From a snakeskin-patterned leather tote to a chic black nylon bag, there is something for every mom's individual style. Plus, the bags offer durability and practicable components, including a matching changing pad, storage pockets inside and out, and adjustable handles.
