Like many other products in the market, Lil’ Melon was born out of the frustration of a Mom and lil’ daughter who express their likes and dislikes very strongly.

“I want to develop products that I know would make both of us happy.” says Nancy Choe who is the founder and Mother of a toddler girl.

Nancy's daughter, Minji, was a very active baby, never wanting to be in a stroller or carried around.  Minji would crawl and toddler everywhere and Nancy started to worry about her sensitive knees that were getting bruised and red.  Nancy thinks “getting bruises is just part of growing up and parents should not over-protect their children from what is natural. But sometimes you need to give your child an extra layer of protection to help them be more confident and mobile on their own.”

She tried every kind of baby knee pads in the market and found them to be useless.  A leading brand was too bulky and restrictive for her active baby. Others were just to flimsy and slipped off easily. Tiles, cement and carpets are actually all part of our modern life and instead of constraining your baby with bulky knee pads or covering the floors with unhealthy PVC foams, why not use a light weight knee covering that can be worn and taken off easily like socks?

Nancy searched everywhere and finally came up with her Lil’ Melon baby knee pads.  They are light-weight cotton blend, soft, and stretchy - allowing ventilation and comfort for your baby or toddler as they crawl, wobble and toddle, all the while preventing bruised and scraped knees. Lil’ melon products are designed to help babies acquire the confidence to be curious and venture around more comfortably.  They are also excellent for beginner playground toddlers who bump and jump around in joy!

Nancy is in the process of adding other baby products such as the most versatile and light-weight cotton baby cloth wipes and padded pants.
