The Baby Stations are a custom vending machine with essential baby necessities including feeding products, first aid products and toys, baby wipes, bottles, and pacifiers. "This brings peace of mind to families knowing there is a convenient and accessible solution for every baby's need," said Shannon Illingworth, AVT founder.

The long term goal of the project is to place a Baby Station in Westfield Mall locations nationwide within eight to 12 months. The Westfield Group is the world's largest listed retail property group by equity market capitalization of more than $60 billion. Its centers are located in prime trade areas and are anchored by major retailers.

"An advantage for the shopping mall is that parents don't have to cut their shopping time short because they left the house without all the baby essentials," Mr. Illingworth said. Locations for the new Baby Stations include Westfield Galleria at Roseville, Westfield Palm Desert, Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia, Westfield Solano in Fairfield and Westfield West Covina. The project will be launched on July 15, 2009.

Other products in the custom vending machine are diapers, rash cream, baby Tylenol, medicine droppers, baby formula, Pedialite water and soft cookies. Each Baby Station machine is vibrantly wrapped with themed graphics and includes a 7" Widescreen LCD display to stream information and video feeds about the products being sold .
