Target stores in Chicago area to sponsor Bump Club and Beyond baby care events

CHICAGO — Target will play host to a new series of educational events sponsored by Bump Club and Beyond, an event company focused on educating mothers and expectant mothers.

The company said it would pilot the events at three Target stores in the Chicago area on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. The events, called BCBasics for Moms and Moms-to-Be, will focus on car seat safety, strollers, baby carrying and wearing and the registry process. The events are open to the public and will take place in the baby sections of the stores. Baby Center also is participating in the events.

"BCBasics is the perfect opportunity to bring a sample of our signature events to moms and moms-to-be in the Chicago suburbs," Bump Club and Beyond founder Lindsay Pinchuk said. "We are thrilled to partner with Target and Baby Center to provide valuable education and resources while connecting with more Chicago-area moms."

The events will feature a 20-minute presentation followed by a Q&A with the editors of Babycenter.com and Safety Squad, and visitors will have the opportunity to browse baby brands, while the first 50 people will receive a gift bag with products from Huggies, Graco, Motorola, Ergobaby and others.
