J.L. Childress is On Target

ORANGE, Calif., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- J.L. Childress (www.jlchildress.com), a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality products for parents of babies and toddlers, announced today that after 30 years in business, they are now the newest company in the travel industry.

As one of the most recognizable and respected names in the juvenile industry, J.L. Childress is entering the travel industry with a kickoff at the International Travel Goods Show March 11^th-13th.

In the early 1980's, company founder Jan Childress worked as a designer at Disney. Frustrated by the lack of products available for working moms and active families, and inspired by the needs of her 2 young daughters, Jan relied on her design experience and "mom knows best" philosophy to develop her own line of family-friendly products.

The company flourished and today is considered one of the leading providers of smartly-designed, "travel happy" accessories. Company products are carried in major retailers nationwide, including Babies "R" Us, buybuyBaby and Target.

J.L. Childress is now making their family travel products available to the travel industry as they transition leadership from the company founder to the next generation: daughters and long-time company Vice Presidents, Sarah Gray and Kate Doti.

"Our company has a remarkable history, yet the future will be even stronger," Jan Childress commented. "My daughters literally grew up in this business, and I am both delighted and encouraged by their creativity, innovation, and savvy business strategy."

The company will announce their full product line-up, including private label opportunities, at the International Travel Goods Show March 11^th-13^th.

"We're looking forward to meeting with other leaders in the travel industry and having the opportunity to connect on a personal level," said Sarah Gray, Vice President at J.L. Childress. "While moms have known about us for years, this will be the first time the travel buyer will find our products where they shop," she added. "These consumers will find our products to be thoughtfully designed, functional and well-priced."
