About Us

The idea for Little Helper’s first product, the multi award winning FunPod, was borne from a real parenting problem. When the founders’ toddler Aimee was nearly scalded with boiling water from a pan after taking Mum by surprise, Kim decided action was needed. She did not want to leave her daughter in another room watching TV, she wanted her daughter to be with her when she was in the kitchen, but she wanted her to be safe. Over dinner that evening a plan was hatched that would see the FunPod in thousands of kitchens in various countries across the world over the following years.

Now in 2009 the FunPod has won 9 prestigious awards and can be bought in seven countries, as can the newly award winning FunPod HighChair, launched at the end of 2008. What’s more is that Little Helper are working on a number of very exciting projects that will see the Little Helper range expanded further in 2010.

Such is the success, founder and mumpreneur Kim Johnson has just been awarded 'Inspirational Mumpreneuer of the Year 2009' for the North of England by magazine Mums in Control earlier this month.

As well as Little Helper’s own product range, 2009 saw the launch of the Baby Boum sleep and fleece range in the United Kingdom and Ireland, broadening the appeal of the Little Helper offering. As with the Little Helper range, the Baby Boum range is one borne out of practicality. From the car seat blankets, which keep baby safe and warm to the multi-purpose sleeping suits, which convert from sleeping bags into jumpsuits, the range is designed to make the parent’s life easier.

Next year will see some very exciting developments as the company launches another international brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

As the company has grown, so has our desire to offer products of the highest quality to parents that help them care for their babies and children. Our kids deserve the best start in life we can give them, and many of our products are about interaction, education and development, all wrapped up in the form of a FunPod or FunPod HighChair.

At Little Helper we make functional products exciting.
