Aileen McCauley is a mom to two kids, a school psychologist and, together with her husband James, is co-creator of The Wriggler, which is the first portable changing pad for babies and toddlers who wriggle during diaper changing. Aileen and James created The Wriggler after experiencing the problem with their own little one. When they couldn't find a solution, James, who is a part-time teacher and part-time stay-at-home dad, borrowed a sewing machine, learned to sew and came up with a solution that returned diaper changing to the calm, predictable experience it had once been. Still in its first year in business, The Wriggler is now a multi-award winning changing pad that has been called a 'sanity saver' and a 'miracle mat' by the many independent parent product testers who have reviewed it.
