The KidSwitch Story

KidSwitch was created, developed, and brought to you by
the father of a sweet and adventurous two year old little
girl, named Taylor.  

In 1993, Taylor lived in a small house on the Balboa
Peninsula in Newport Beach, California.  Although it was
"Sunny Southern California" her bedroom did not receive
much light because the houses around hers were so close
that they simply blocked the sun from her bedroom
windows.  Since she was too short to reach her light
switch, she was constantly asking her dad to come and
turn the light on for her.  And, the light would often be left
on all day because she couldn't reach it to turn it off.

One day, Taylor set out to turn on the light herself.  She
built a makeshift "ladder" out of some of her toys.  
However, because Taylor was only two years old, and did
not have an engineering degree, the "ladder" did not work
and she fell, thereby suffering a slight injury.

After her fall, Taylor's dad did not want her to keep making
"ladders," did not want to have to keep turning the
bedroom and bathroom lights on and off for her all day,
and did not want to simply leave the lights on all the time,
so he set out to find a better way to help Taylor safely
reach and turn on and off the light switches.

After several different attempts, the mechanics of how to
attach the switch and the design for the switch took
shape, and Taylor's dad began the process to patent,
trademark, manufacture, and sell KidSwitch.

It all began that day in 1993, when one dad wanted to
help his own daughter safely reach and turn on and off her
room lights.  Since 1995, KidSwitch has been providing a
helping hand to little ones and their parents.  We are
happy now to extend that hand to you!

Our Company

Just Kids, Inc. is a small family owned business located near
Charlotte, North Carolina.

We first began marketing and selling KidSwitch under the
company name "Peninsula Marketing" and then "South Coast
Marketing" - as we lived on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport
Beach, California at the time.  Although KidSwitch was really just a
"side business" for us from 1995 through 2008, we sold over
400,000 switches!  Then, in 2008 we moved the family from
California to North Carolina and began focusing on turning our
"side business" into a full time venture.

With this change also came a change in our company name.  
We chose "Just Kids" as it represents our kids:

The "J" stands for Jordan - our daughter seen on the packaging.
The "U" stands for "Us" - as we are all in this business together.
The "S" stands for Samantha - our youngest daughter.
The "T" stands for Taylor - the one who inspired it all.
