As Marriott was developing its Tots Travel Too program, a few of its hotels began offering COVERPLAY slipcovers and it was receiving rave reviews from guests. Recognizing the great potential of the one-of-a-kind product for its guest traveling with small children, Marriott soon signed an agreement with COVERPLAY owners and business partners, Allison Costa and Amy Feldman, to offer their product at more than 2,500 hotels across the U.S. and Canada.

“As a mother of twin boys, I truly appreciate all that these five Marriott brands are doing to make travel easier for parents and their little ones,” said Allison Costa, founder and co-owner, COVERPLAY. “As a female small business owner, our new relationship with Marriott has also been instrumental in growing our small business.”

We’re Making Headlines Everywhere!

The Fashionable Bambino has this wonderful news to say about us,

“Do you ever have spills in your Pack ‘n Play? Does the thought of using a portable crib at a hotel scare and disgust you, thinking of unwanted germs from previous users? The creators of Coverplay have the solution to the problem of maintaining a clean portable crib – every mother’s dream invention…the Coverplay.

Allison Costa, mother of twin boys and interior decorator, created Coverplay. After her sons were born, she quickly became frustrated with how hard it was to keep the port-a-crib clean. Allison recruited her designer friend, Amy, to help create the fun, whimsical designs of Coverplay. Now, Coverplay is the first slipcover for a play yard.  The Coverplay comes in “his” and “her” designs, as well as polka dots, solids, chenille and cotton lycra. Its care involves washing in warm water, tumbling dry, removing promptly from the dryer and voila…a clean play yard, all because of a snazzy slipcover. Coverplay even has a new line of sheets to use with your slipcovers.

Using the Coverplay is pretty easy. Simply follow the instructions on setting up your play yard, waiting to put in the mattress bottom. Cover your play yard with your new slipcover, attaching the rings on the legs of your play yard and inserting your mattress bottom as described and you are all set. Coverplay’s website gives much attention to the use and care of its slipcovers, so be sure to check out www.coverplayard.com.”

Honoring the Inventor: Allison Costa

June 11, 2010

According to Honoring the Inventor Blog, here is some useful and interesting information on Coverplay:

“Here’s the key patent behind Coverplay, featured on ABC’s Shark Tank show last week.

Allison Costa’s patent 7,401,366 titled Children’s play yard and elastic, removable liner was issued on 7/22/2008–

Various embodiments of the invention are directed towards a baby play yard cover or lining that lines the walls and floor of a baby play yard in order that the play yard is protected from soiling by the baby. Various embodiments of the invention are re-attachable such that the play yard liner may be washed separately from the play yard. The play yard cover has a plurality of elastic reinforcing portions which facilitate the securing of the cover to its corresponding play yard.

And yes, the company won funding from the Sharks….”

Coverplay is the new “in” when it comes to baby and child products. Not only does this miraculous creation add flair and beauty to a dull and drab play yard, but it also protects your child from germs and bacteria. Especially if you are traveling and on the road, having to put your kids in rented or hotel-provided play yards can be worrisome, especially when it comes to germs. With Coverplay all those fears can be cast aside and you can be sure that you child will be able to play in a safe and germ-free environment!
