Your Baby’s Movement & Mealtime Are More Connected Than You Think — Now Bundled and On Sale

When you picture your baby's development, movement and mealtime probably feel like two completely separate categories. One lives on the play mat — pulling to stand, cruising along the couch, working toward those first wobbly steps. The other happens in the high chair — learning to grip a spoon, chew new textures, and eventually feed themselves.

But behind the scenes, these two areas of development are more connected than they seem. Both rely on many of the same foundational skills: core strength, stability, coordination, and a baby's growing confidence in controlling their own body.

This connection is exactly what led two professionals — working in different fields — to design tools around the same underlying idea: give a child the right support, and let them do the rest of the work themselves.

Dr. Shannon, PT, DPT invented the Little Balance Box while her own daughters were learning to stand and walk. After watching a traditional push walker roll out from under her daughter, she realized there wasn't a safe option on the market that truly supported development without rushing it. Drawing on her clinical background, she designed the Little Balance Box to provide more stability while supporting strength, balance, and confidence through natural, purposeful movement.

Ms. Dawn, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a Speech-Language Pathologist, Pediatric Feeding Therapist, and ezpz product designer. She designs products to safely support every stage of a child’s oral care and feeding journey, with tools thoughtfully sized for growing mouths and hands as little ones learn to self-feed. Her products encourage developmentally appropriate skills and key milestones like sipping, dipping, and scooping, helping build the foundation for self-feeding success.

Both movement and feeding milestones tend to follow a similar underlying principle: children build skills most effectively through supported, hands-on practice. In both areas, the goal isn't to rush a child to the next stage. It's to give them the right support to build the skill fully, at their own pace.

Bringing Both Together

Because these two areas of development go hand in hand, we teamed up with ezpz® to bring movement and mealtime support into one collaboration: the Little Balance Box® Grow × ezpz Complete Bundle.

The bundle includes the Little Balance Box® Grow, your choice of an ezpz feeding kit matched to your child's current stage, a handmade sensory rattle set, extended 2-year protection, and a premium gift bag — everything thoughtfully brought together to support both sides of your child's growing world.

The Little Balance Box® Grow adjusts across three heights so it can move with your child from those early kneeling and standing days into confident walking and beyond. Paired with it, you'll choose between ezpz's Kit 2 — built for babies just starting solids and learning to eat and drink — or Kit 3, designed for toddlers ready to practice greater independence with utensils and straw drinking. Whichever stage your little one is in, the bundle is designed to meet them there, with room to grow as they do.
