Earlier in December, I was accepted into a special partnership with Graco! They hand-selected a few influencers to their HQ in Atlanta, Georgia. I was one of the lucky girls to be chosen by Graco's team to be part of their special influencer event. All travel expenses, food, and transportation was covered thanks to Graco! I'm so excited to share my experience with ya'll and tell you all about Graco's newest products.
Although short, the two days that I spent in GA was nothing short of amazing!
My first day consisted of mostly traveling and getting settled into the hotel. They booked us rooms at the W Hotel in Buckhead, GA. I absolutely loved my room and the overal decor/vibe of the hotel - it was super hip. Graco scheduled a Welcome Dinner at 6pm so that all the influencers and Graco team members could meet and get to know each other. We went to an amazing Italian restaurant called Storico Fresco. The food was absolutely delicious!! We had our own customized pre-fix menus.

I honestly had so much fun learning about the newest Graco products and meeting all of the Graco team members! (Check my Graco highlights on my IG to follow along!) Graco rented out a gorgeous Airbnb house and decorated it so beautifully!!
We even got a mini yoga session in, which was such a treat!
After a yummy breakfast, we broke off into groups and learned about the new products for their 2020 Registry Collection. It was so amazing hearing about an idea come to fruition and seeing the actual product in front of you. These girls go above and beyond with their creativity and innovation. I was so genuinely impressed with each and every product they talked about. We are huge fans of the Graco 4ever car seats and pack n plays! Did you know that Graco was the first company to invent the Pack n Play?! I had no idea! They’re also one of the oldest baby companies in the market - they’ll be turning 65 this year!

After a scrumptious catered lunch, we all headed to the Graco crash test facility.
This was so cool to see because you never really think about the BTS aspects of a product. We saw some really innovative machines at the facility and also observed a real crash test for a car seat!

This is what I love and appreciate about Graco. They take so much pride in their work and genuinely want to improve and further their products to make OUR lives easier. They’re also prettttty darn safe, which is a HUGE plus when you’re a mama. Gotta protect our babies!
I’m probably leaving out so many other details but these past two days is exactly what I needed. Thank you so so much to Graco and their team for inviting us and educating us about your products. It was truly special!
Til next time, Graco!
