Hear the Story Behind the Pink Blossom Fashion of the Contours Bassinet & Win One!

June 7, 2012 Baby Bassinet, Baby Products, Kolcraft Contests 73 Comments

Our Contours Classique 3 in 1 bassinet is a huge hit among moms and dads because it has so much to offer! With a removable Moses basket, changing table, diaper caddy and storage, what is not to love? The Contours bassinet, traditionally only available in a neutral pattern, is now available in pink blossom just for your adorable little baby girl. We were able to catch up with fashion designer, Hyon Troutman, to hear the inspiration behind the pink blossom color. We love how close to her heart this color inspiration is.

Check out the video and win a Contours Classique 3 in 1 pink blossom bassinet by leaving a comment here on our blog post about your favorite part of the video and bassinet. Contest ends at noon (CST) on June 13th, 2012. Winner will be announced on Thursday, June 14th!

    I love that the feel of the fabric is supposed to be so soft! Too many baby fabrics are not very soft…

  2. Emma Goris on said:

    Love that it has so many functions vs other bassinets are only for sleeping. Others have no storage and no multi purpose to them. Love the colors. I’m not into “themed” baby items, like Disney or precious moments, I prefer items that I can bring in many diff items to make the nursery, like choosing the curtains and rugs to match crib and bassinet decor. Love it! Good job!

  3. Sarah Youngman on said:

    I love that it’s not just a standard bassinet for baby to sleep in, but that you change the baby in it and store all those baby necessities! I loved the part in the video where they zoom in on the fabric! It’s do pretty, modern and feminine!

  4. Meghan Smith on said:

    I love the floral pattern! What a “new” look, very modern. The storage compartments are the added bonus!

  5. Leslie G on said:

    Love the flower pattern. My little girl would love all the pink okay maybe not her so much as momie. Love girl colors.

  6. Brittany C. on said:

    Love the functionality of it! Plus all of the storage options helps out all of us mommies who need a place for everything!

  7. Lauree on said:

    Love the design and love the inspiration behind the design (Hyon’s two daughters). Cute!

  8. I like that it is girly but contemporary and modern at the same time. Also cute that the designer was inspired by her own 2 daughters’ love for all things pink :)

  9. I think my favorite part is that she said it’s made for my precious little girl! (She’ll be here July 20th, 2012!) I love that it has a modern look and will look perfect next to my bed for baby. One of the many features I love about the bassinet is that it also doubles as a changing table and has lots of storage! It’s the perfect bassinet for our little family! :-)

    I love the mulit-functionality, modern style, and colors! We’re expecting a girl this fall and this would be just perfect for our home.

  11. HappyMomC on said:

    I love that it has storage, that it is so very helpful. I love the fabric and the bright colors! We are expecting our baby next week and this would be so great!

  12. Colleen Fuller on said:

    I love that she based the design on her own girl’s “likes”. I love the contemporary design and functionality! Thank you!

  13. Monica on said:

    I love the contemporary blossom pattern – and that Hyon’s cardigan matches the bassinet color! How cute!

  14. Caitlin A. on said:

    I love in the video where she says she is now embracing everything pink and everything with flowers…so true for us momma-to-be with precious baby girls on the way. I love how the bassinet is mostly calm and neutral, with just a hint of pink floral patterns!

  15. Natalie S on said:

    I love the contemporary floral pattern! Not your grandma’s quilt ;) I love that the inspiration behind it was from your own two daughters :) Would love this for baby #3! nlevdan3 at yahoo dot com

  16. Heather Slater on said:

    Love all the added features – this is not your standard bassinet!! :)

  17. Miranda Welle on said:

    I like that you used your daughters as inspiration! And I LOVE the flowers! So much better than the “normal” floral pattern that you usually see on baby stuff!

  18. dana on said:

    I love the fact that her daughters were an inspiration for this bassinet, and i love the color and print of this bassinet!

So this would be perfect for all those little baby girls! ♥ when I first saw this bassinet I totally fell in love with it! It’s pink, has cute lil flower prints, has many uses! What’s not love!! This would come in handy and save a lot of space. ♥ love love love! ♥
    Good Luck to Everyone :) This is so cute Kolcraft!

  23. Sinikka on said:

    I really like that the inspiration for the design came from the speakers own 2 daughters. I love that the design is very modern and elegant – it’s just enough pink to make it girly without the overkill. vasily3 (at) gmail (dot) com

  30. I personally love the style, the pattern is super adorable and perfect for girls. I love the wood and the added storage and large storage under. I love that the design came form a real mom, moms know what they want.

    Adorable!!

  31. Shannon Massi Yuri on said:

    I love the fact she implemented what her daughters like and that became her inspiration

  34. Kimberly Owens on said:

    Love the modern look, and the many uses it has. Means for a small nursery I will still obtain everything I need with this. I even think my husband would enjoy the the ease of use, being able to change our daughter right there.
