Default Need help in the infant care industry

A friend of mine has created and been granted a patent for a revolutionary invention, but he is having a hard time getting an audience at any of the major medical and infant care companies.

Do any of you guys have any connections at any of the following companies? I'd really appreciate any help we could get. He's a great friend who has gone through some tough times, and I think a break like this is all he will need to get back on his feet. His invention will sell itself!

Here's the companies:
Graco
Carters
Evenflo
Baby Trend
Chicco
Peg Perrego


Thank you in advance!

'Smyroad, it's also OFF TOPIC...

There are a lot of people here with a lot of connections, and I've both helped and been helped by that in this realm. If anyone knows anyone in that industry, anything would be helpful.

Thanks.

Does he have a mock up/prototype of the invention? Although he might risk copy cats, he might try talking to the local news station's consumer reporter. The face time on TV might spark an interest by one of the companies. He'd also get some customer feedback which he could use when presenting to one of these companies.
