For Kids By Parents, Inc. makes the P-flector®, a urine deflector created by owner and CEO Joseph M. Conrad III after his son repeatedly wet his clothes and the floor through the gap between a toilet seat and bowl during potty training. The company develops parent-invented juvenile products, and its U.S.-made P-flector has expanded from helping potty-training children to serving adults, seniors, and people with special needs.

Today, the company creates Adaptive Hygiene™ tools for children, teens and young adults who benefit from visual learning, helping them build greater independence in daily self-care routines.

• Piggyback RiderCreated in 2009 by three Lifshitz brothers who were looking for a better way to take their children along, Piggyback Rider makes standing child carriers that let toddlers ride on a non-slip bar while adults keep their hands free. The family-owned company’s compact carriers, tested first by the brothers’ eight children, support children from age two up to 50 pounds and are designed for outings ranging from hikes to crowded theme parks. Piggyback Rider also operates a Special Needs program inspired by one inventor’s daughter, who used the carrier to stay involved in family activities while living with a rare muscle disease.BETHESDA, MD
