Midnight
Pass Unveils New Pet Products for a Happy 2007 Holiday
DATELINE:
MARSHFIELD, MASS AND Chicago IL… Midnight
Pass, creators of innovative pet products to thousands of
customers worldwide, unveils several hot new items for pampered
pets and their discerning owners this holiday season.
Midnight Pass, a direct marketer and online retailer with
corporate headquarters in Marshfield, Mass., creates and
markets problem solving products that enable consumers to
safely travel with their pets in autos, trains, boats, airplanes
or while pedaling bikes. Innovative pet gifts include Pet
Cruiser®, Wicker Cruiser™, Pooch Caboose™,
Sport Cruiser™, Auto Cruiser™, Portfolio Cruiser™,
Pet Pilot®, Pet Murphy Bed™, and the full line
of Creature Leisure® soft-sided crate systems.
“Midnight
Pass has enlarged its existing outdoor pet product base to include
new and improved pet travel gear,” said
Brad White, founder and president of Midnight Pass Inc.
“The
company is enjoying an upsurge in wholesale orders, export demand,
television home shopping and retail sales as a result
of its thoughtful product design, rugged quality with problem
solving characteristics in its Pet Cruiser® line of
products. By the 2007 gift-giving holidays, nearly 500,000
paws will
have stepped into a Midnight Pass pet product,” White
stated.
Midnight Pass was recently featured in The Wall Street
Journal for the latest in car technology with their innovative
line
of pet products. Talks are on with a Canadian bicycle distributor
to carry the Pet Cruiser Line in over 1100 Canadian stores
in 2008 . Midnight
Pass is also a proud member of the American Pet Products Manufacturing
Association, Inc. (APPMA), the non-profit
trade association located in Connecticut.
In
2007 Midnight Pass was selected by the joint MBA Product Development
Program
by Babson College, RISD (Rhode Island
School of Design) with professors from MIT (MA Institute
of Technology) to co-create a breakthrough new technology
in pet containment which is scheduled to be introduced
in February 2008 in San Diego.
The
company also offers pet bed products geared towards enhancing interior
home design, such as
the Pet Murphy Bed (recently
featured in the New York Times, Rachel Ray show and on
CBS news) which complements décor and maximizes small
spaces and the Pet Pilot created by creature Leisure(r).
Items
to keep pets (and their owners) merry this season include:
PET
CRUISER® Sport™ and Wicker™ - Get
out and ride your bicycle with your best friend! Midnight Pass
offers the SPORT and Wicker Pet Cruiser™ with all the
patent pending safety features of the modern day as well
as the charm of yesteryear. The Sport version is available
in the brightly colored, padded style, with safety harnesses,
carry handles, phone and Ipod® pockets and a shoulder
strap for easy portability. Prices range from $80.00
to $89.95.
Auto
Pet Cruiser™ – Like to take your pets along
for a ride in the car, but concerned about their safety?
The Auto Pet Cruiser™ attaches to an automobile’s
seat belt and is also a fully enclosed booster seat (allowing
your pet to comfortably see out the window) while safely
containing him/her. Also doubles as a high quality suitcase
travel kit complete with personalized name tags, fleece pad,
loads of storage areas, removable food and mesh toy bags
as well as travel wheels for the auto version. The fully
portable patent pending design and heavy duty straps on the
auto cruiser make it strong enough to use as a pet carrier
as well ($99.95 - $129.95). The Wall Street Journal reported
in the Cars section in July 2007 that, “Pets roaming
free in cars face the same dangers as passengers who don’t
buckle up. Little dogs and cats will benefit from booster
seats that are secured with straps and seat belts such as
the Midnight Pass Inc’s Pet Cruiser Auto™ seat.
Making pets comfortable is probably the first step toward
stress-free travel as well as having one less distraction
on the road,”reported Elva Ramirez, columnist for
the WSJ.
Portfolio
Pet Cruiser™ - a slimmer version of
the Auto Pet Cruiser™ without the suitcase is also
available for folks who desire a pet carrier that carries
like a briefcase
and pops up to a comfy patent pending pet carrier. Great
for trains and planes too ($99.95).
Pet
Murphy Bed™ – As
featured in the New York Times, CBS This Morning and The
Rachel Ray show. A stylish,
compact version of the adult Murphy bed. The Pet Murphy Bed
offers a cozy and chic space for your pet to lounge, Midnight
Pass’ innovative Pet Murphy Bed is the ultimate in
comfort and complements your home by easily blending in with
existing decor as a stylish and compact piece of wood furniture
with a raised panel front. The Pet Murphy Bed is a smart
patent pending sleeping solution for home and recreational
vehicle owners, where pet space is limited. The durable Pet
Murphy Bed is available in three colors, Black, Mahogany
and (Cottage White avail Spring 2008 ) all hold up to 200
lbs ($279.95).
Pet
Pilot™ by Creature Leisure® -
As featured on NBC’s Today’s Show” Traveling
with Your Dog” segment and catering to “jet setters” around
the globe, Midnight Pass offers the ultimate in convenience,
quality and portability with the new Pet Pilot travel carrier.
The chic new Pet Pilot™ soft-sided rolling pet carrier
