Must-have winter gear for babies
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather
No one likes to leave the house on a morning when the temperature is 9 degrees, but it can be especially brutal for your baby. Babies feel the cold very acutely because they don’t have the same fat stores as adults, and they also can’t shiver – and shivering is the body’s way of warming… read more!

Orbit goes G2
Categories: ABC Show 2009, Baby, Car Seats, Cold Weather, Eco-friendly, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
“Concept strollers” were all the rage at the ABC Show, with lots of manufacturers showing off interesting ideas that may or may not come to the market. But while “concept” is the label Orbit Baby is applying to their new G2 product line, I got the impression it’s more a question of “when” than “if.”… read more!

Demanding supply
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather, Modern Nursery
Two of my favorite items for the fourth quarter are having serious availability issues, and it’s a bummer. The Svan Miniature Table and Chairs set isn’t going to be available again until 2008 because of an issue with their last shipment. I haven’t heard the whole story yet, but I do know that they’re pretty… read more!

Fuzzy Wuzzies
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather, Local: Boston
Check out these amazing hats, called Wuzzies. Each one is knitted by hand and lined with soft fleece for plenty of warmth without any itchies. The designs are fun, funky and each one is one-of-a-kind. And the best part is, the idea was born at Magic Beans. Two of our talented employees, Skye and Mary… read more!

Peek a who?
Categories: Baby, Baby Carriers, Cold Weather
Babywearing offers many, many benefits for both the baby and the caregiver, but climate control isn’t one of them. When it’s very warm, wearing a baby can be a hot, sweaty affair for everyone involved. When it’s cold, it’s a constant struggle to fit the carrier over a winter coat and keep small extremities warm…. read more!

Twice as warm
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather
OK, yes, the weather is getting warmer and no one wants to think about cold-weather stroller accessories right now, but I thought 7AM Enfant had a pretty nice new product at JPMA. The new Duo is just what it sounds like – a 7AM built for two. It’s not a sleeping bag, it’s just a… read more!

Keeping Baby’s Legs Warm
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather, Toddler Gear
Sure, maybe legwarmers were an 80′s fad best left to the pop-culture history books. But for babies and little kids, they’re a very practical way to keep warm on cold days. You don’t need to be a Flashdance fan to think these are cute, either. Baby Legs has introduced a whole line of mini-sized legwarmers… read more!

Cold noses, warm toes
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather
Here in Boston, the winters can be brutal. Small wonder then, that a local business is continuing to reinvent winterizing accessories for strollers and baby carriers. Brookspond only has two products, the Carrier Cover for the Baby Bjorn and the Buggy Blanket. Their designs have always been a cut above, with thoughtful, parent-centric innovations, but… read more!

Big skin problems for little babies
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather, Newborn Essentials, Skin Care
For the most severe skin problems, Mustela is now offering their Dermo-Pediatric line. At first, these superstrength formulas were only available at independent pharmacies and apothecaries, but now they have expanded their distribution to include a number of specialty baby stores. I was particularly interested in this line because of the Stelatopia products, designed to… read more!

7am Enfant
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather
It was about a year ago that I trailed a woman two blocks down Broadway in Manhattan so I could read the label on her stroller bunting. That was my first encounter with 7am Enfant, and it was worth the effort. These yummy buntings are more like miniature sleeping bags. They are beautiful, chic and… read more!
