Zoobies

They're pillows, they're blankets, they're…animals? Yep, that's right — animals! Zoobies are travel-ready plush animals that transform into pillows and blankets — just the thing for tiny travelers.

Zoobies was begun in 2006 by two brothers, Reid and J.C. Smoot, who launched their patented plush animals at the 2007 Toy Fair, where they were an instant hit. "They are the most functional stuffed animal ever!" says Zoobies' Ryan Treft, VP of Marketing. "And we think the cutest too…"

Zoobies has won 27 awards including: TDmonthly Top Toy Award, Creative Child Magazine Toy of the Year and 2008 Kid's Product of the Year, JPMA Innovation Award Finalist, Oppenheim Gold Award, National Parenting Center Award, iParenting Media Award, Cookie Magazine "Word of Mom" Award, Parenting Magazine "Mom-Tested" Award, Mom's Best Award and the 2008 PTPA Media Award.
