Clip With Confidence: New Clip-On Nail Trimmer Aims to Calm Parents and Kids

A quieter, simpler way to trim a child’s nails

123Invent has introduced a clip-on attachment for standard nail clippers that it calls a child-friendly solution for fussy toddlers and nervous parents. The product, identified in the company’s announcement as the child-friendly nail clipper attachment (OCM-1765), was presented in a PR Newswire release. The maker says the idea is to make nail trimming less stressful by limiting how far the blade can reach and by offering a softer, more tactile surface for small fingers.

The news is aimed at parents and caregivers who dread the nightly nail-trimming ritual. The company pitched the attachment as an accessory you snap onto ordinary clippers so you don’t have to buy a whole new tool. The release frames the item as a practical add-on that could cut down tears and sudden jerks that lead to accidental cuts.

What the clip-on looks like and how it’s meant to work

The attachment is described as a small plastic housing that fits over the head of a typical nail clipper. Inside, a channel guides the nail toward the blade but stops the clipper from closing beyond a preset point. That limit is meant to prevent clipping too close to the skin. The outside surfaces are textured or cushioned, the announcement says, to make the piece easier to hold and more comfortable for little hands.

The company emphasizes that the design is simple: no batteries, no motors, and no electronics. That keeps the unit light and inexpensive to manufacture. The attachment reportedly clips on and off so the same clipper can be used by adults when the extra piece is not needed. 123Invent also highlights that the part can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and that it is molded from common polymer materials for durability.

What makes it “child-friendly,” according to the release, is the combination of a physical guard and a softer touch surface intended to make trimming less startling for a child and easier for an adult to control. The announcement stops short of claiming medical or clinical benefits; instead, it focuses on everyday user comfort and fewer fumbles during trims.

How a Fullerton inventor came up with the idea

The release credits an inventor associated with 123Invent based in Fullerton, Calif., who says the attachment arose from a simple, personal problem: trying to clip a squirming child’s nails without causing harm. The inventor offered a short quote in the release about wanting a quick, low-tech fix that parents could use at home.

Beyond that personal note, the filing describes 123Invent as the entity behind the product’s development. The announcement frames the attachment as the outcome of practical testing at home rather than a long formal design program. The inventor’s background in product development or engineering is not detailed in the material provided.

Practical use, age guidance and safety notes

The company suggests the attachment for toddlers and young children, where the risk of sudden movement is highest. It also says the device can help nervous parents feel more in control. The design is pitched as a supplement to good trimming technique—steady hands, distraction, and short sessions—to reduce accidents.

Importantly, the PR material does not mention independent safety certifications, clinical testing, or regulatory approvals. That absence means consumers should note the difference between a comfort-focused accessory and a medically tested device. The release does advise normal precautions: trim in good light, keep the child calm, and check the fit before clipping. It does not set specific age limits or state formal safety standards met by the product.

When and where the attachment will be sold

123Invent says the clip-on attachment will be available directly from the company and select retailers. The announcement includes suggested pricing and a planned launch window, but the specific stores named were not listed in the material supplied for this article.

About the company and how to follow up

The product was announced via a PR Newswire release. The filing identifies 123Invent as the organization behind the product announcement and lists the model number OCM-1765 for reference. The press material shared with this story did not include a full company background or detailed contact information, and it did not specify any third-party testing laboratories or certification bodies.

For readers interested in more technical details or claims about safety testing, the most useful next step is to look for fuller product documentation from 123Invent or retailer pages once the attachment is listed for sale. The announcement is a straightforward product reveal, not a report of clinical research or regulated safety approval.
