What is Dingle Dangle?
The Dingle Dangle can also be described as the 'ultimate parenting hack'. It is a headband toy that looks pretty similar to a colorful octopus mobile worn on the head by the parent. The headband toy automatically grabs the attention of the baby, meanwhile, the parent can quickly change the diaper.
The design of this product has been inspired by the Art Deco style of Gold's hometown in Miami Beach, Florida. It has many uses as it provides relief and ease during challenging parenting moments such as changing diapers, playing, or getting the child to sleep.
The item can change into a small mobile that can be attached to a crib, featuring a cute pufferfish design and a silicon teether. The toy has a sensory stick that has three different fabrics for babies to touch and play with, offering them a complete and interactive experience. We must say, it's an innovative solution for the parents.

Who is founder of Dingle Dangle?
Stewart Gold and Mark Hamilton are the founders of Dingle Dangle. The idea of Dingle Dangle was born out of a moment of parental frustration. One day in 2018, Mark was changing the diaper of his 7-month-old daughter in the Tenerife, Spain airport's public restroom and it was a harrowing experience for him.
While Hamilton was trying to change the diaper of his daughter, she kept screaming at the top of her lungs. Then, he needed something to calm down his baby girl. He realized there must be a better way to do it.
Mark who is the owner of a technological investment banking headhunting business decided to turn his stressful experience into an enjoyable one, and that led to the creation of Dingle Dangle.
For Dingle Dangle, Mark joined hands with Stewart Gold, who is a father of two. Gold is an American citizen who lives in an apartment right above Mark's. Prior to this, Stewart was a lawyer for a total of 11 years.
When Mark shared the idea of Dingle Dangle with Stewart, he was pretty intrigued by it, especially because his wife was expecting their second child back then. Dingle Dangle is not just a distraction for the kids, but it's more of a versatile parenting tool.
