@Insiderinventions featured Piggyback Rider on Friday, May 12. Since then, 37M+ views in 7 days.
PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) MAY 24, 2017
Today, Full Sail International LLC (FSI), a family owned and operated company which strives to re-innovate existing products and create new ones, announced that a video for its Piggyback Rider toddler carrier system was featured in Facebook’s “Inside Inventions” page, and in just four days since, it was viewed by 32,000,000 people across Facebook. The video, which features clips from the inventors’ personal adventures, has, in seven days, created such demand resulting in selling out 100% of the company’s inventory. Currently, FSI is working to bring inventory levels back up to meet the ever-increasing demand for the product.
The rush for product prompted the company to post this message on its website: “Please note this video went viral on 5/12/17 and we are experiencing a massive demand. If you cannot find an available product, it’s because we sold out. We anticipate more units in our warehouse around 6/20/17.”
Managing Director & one of the brother inventors Bryan Lifshitz said, “We invented Piggyback Rider to create a mutually enjoyable, effortless way to carry a child on your back and, best of all, a bonding experience bar none with you and your child. The fact that this video went viral is a proud moment in our history, and we look forward to providing continued value to our customers as we work to fill all the backorders.” The company has offered free gifts with a pre-order for those who are willing to wait.
This achievement was a result of FSI, with its marketing partner, GrayShitz Branding & Marketing (GS), having created a number of initiatives, videos and communications and working to promote these though social media, blogging, and trade shows. As a business that has been around for a few years, valuing just how Facebook & Amazon work, led to the activity that has positioned the company as a major force in the child carrier space. Orders have come from around the world in these seven days.
About Piggyback Rider: The Piggyback Rider® was developed to take advantage of the natural instinct to carry a child on your back. The aluminum bar allows the child to stand up, which positions the center of mass over your hips. Now, you can walk upright. Child hand holds were placed at two locations on the shoulder straps to remove tiny hands from the neck. And the child safety harness adds peace of mind.

Personal Injury Lawyer, Doug Zanes, Gives Essential Swimming Pool Tips
PHOENIX, May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Every year thousands of people are injured in accidents that are completely preventable. So with summer right around the corner, it is extremely important to talk about swimming pool safety. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, from 2005-2014, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day.
To download the Zanes Law pool safety infographic visit: http://zaneslaw.com/swimming-pool-safety/
To combat these needless deaths, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that pool owners adopt water safety steps to prevent children from getting to the water when there is no adult supervision.
To start, please ask yourself the following questions:
Does your pool or spa have a fence around it?
Are you pool gates self-closing and self-latching?
Have you installed door, gate, or pool alarms?
Have you installed anti-entrapment drain covers to protect swimmers?
Are all pool and spa covers in working order?
Has your family received CPR training?
Does everyone in you family know how to swim?
If you own a pool, your answer to all of the above questions should be “yes.” You must understand that a child can drown in the time it takes to answer a telephone. Below I have listed the seven safety tips that you must adopt.
Do not allow anyone to swim alone. Swim with a buddy because even adults can have a medical emergency requiring help;
Your children must be taught basic water safety tips;
In order to avoid entrapments, keep children away from pool drains;
When people are using a pool or spa keep a telephone and other pool safety equipment close by;
Look for any missing children in the pool or spa FIRST;
An adult should maintain constant supervision of children swimming in the pool. Don’t trust the life of a child to another child;
Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast approved life jackets when in the pool.

Phoenix Native Brian Berens announced today the launch of the I Love You More Project, a philanthropic clothing brand that raises awareness and funds towards causes that matter.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA (PRWEB) MAY 15, 2017
Local Phoenix man, Brian Berens, announced today the launch of the I Love You More Project, a philanthropic clothing brand that raises awareness and funds towards causes that matter. In honor of Beren’s late mother, who dedicated her life towards philanthropy and helping Child Crisis Arizona’s Emergency Children’s Shelter Program, I Love You More’s first campaign will donate 50% of T-Shirt proceeds directly to Child Crisis Arizona.
Berens was inspired to launch I Love You More after the passing of his mother, Charleen Berens, who always responded to family and friends with the loving saying. During a family Christmas celebration in 2012, the Berens family decided to donate gifts, necessities and supplies to Child Crisis Arizona in lieu of their traditional gift-exchange. Since Charlene’s passing in 2015, every Christmas, the Berens family has delivered their donations from the family celebration to CCA in Phoenix. This year, Berens decided to make it official by launching a foundation with the same message.
Child Crisis Arizona is an excellent example of I Love You More. Child Crisis Arizona takes in children – ages infant to 10 years old – that need shelter and care due to traumatic situations. Many of the nearly 17,000 Arizona children in foster care are placed with Child Crisis Arizona at the Emergency Children’s Shelters, the only shelter program for children that operate in Maricopa County for young children. Child Crisis Arizona works with children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected, while their Foster Care and Adoption Services work to provide loving homes for kids through licensing and certifying foster and adoptive parents.
“I am so excited to see this project launch,” Says Founder and CEO, Brian Berens. “This is a way to show that you want to make a difference – 1 shirt at a time! It is all about wearing your emotions on your sleeve (on our shirt). Today seems like a good time to encourage others to pass on this message of LOVING someone MORE. Love someone more than they love you. Love someone more than they deserve. That’s the creed my mother lived by – shown by her kind-hearted words and hours of volunteer work. That’s the message we want to promote and PASS ON to everyone.”
Through the website, users have the option to design their own t-shirts, mugs, baby clothes, phone cases and more, and customize everything from the featured logo, text and image, to color. Or, users can simply purchase an I Love You More t-shirt and choose from a variety of offered designs. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to Child Crisis Arizona.
Show that you want to be a part of the “I LOVE YOU MORE” movement and support the Child Crisis Arizona organization – purchase an I Love You More T- Shirt today and pass it on.
