Lalo is a direct-to-consumer brand that offers a range of smart, functional, and stylish baby and toddler products, including high chairs, bibs, play gyms, and more.
The funding was provided by Spinmaster Ventures and aims to disrupt a crowded baby and toddler market. The company sells items like highchairs, bath items, and toys.
Sounds like they could have used Buy Buy Baby as a retail outlet. Whoops, too late!
