Giveaways Day 30 - Taga Bike and Stroller

Friday, July 30th, 2010

I haven't done a blog post about the Taga Bike & Stroller yet, mostly because I've been waiting until we actually had some to sell. Every shipment has sold out before it even came in. It's a good problem to have.
I first heard about the Taga in July of 2008, right before they showed their [...]

Giveaways Day 29 - UPPAbaby Vista

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

This past May, during my whirlwind, hours-long visit to the ABC Spring Conference in Louisville, I found myself traveling back to Boston with Lauren Monahan, one of the founders of UPPAbaby. There are no direct flights from Louisville to Boston, and we were going to be changing planes in Detroit. Our layover was quick - [...]

Maclaren introduces redesigned frame

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Maclaren is currently rolling out (haha) a “next generation” stroller frame with a redesigned hinge mechanism. The new design features a circular pivoting hinge and totally eliminates any risk of pinching during folding and unfolding.
My sources at Maclaren USA tell me this new hinge has been in the works for several years and is a [...]

phil&teds announces new Explorer buggy

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

The phil&teds Sport - the granddaddy of the in-line stroller revolution - has been discontinued and will be replaced by the new phil&teds Explorer, which is expected to arrive in stores within the next few weeks.
Six years ago, we were one of just a handful of retailers in the USA who carried the phil&teds stroller. [...]

Giveaways Day 25 - Baby Jogger City Select stroller

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

From the very first moment I saw an advertisement for it, I knew the Baby Jogger City Select stroller was going to be an inevitable success. The double stroller market has seen more fluctuation than any other category over the past few years, as the proverbial pendulum made a broad but definitive swung from side-by-side [...]

Giveaways Day 21 - Orbit Stroller Travel System G2

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you already know about the warm and fuzzy feelings I have for Orbit Baby. And sure, a lot of that is because the people behind the company are amazing, talented, kind and fun. But I don’t plug their product because they are my friends. It’s the [...]

Giveaways Day 19 - Bugaboo Bee Plus 2010

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I’m going to admit something. I was wrong about the Bugaboo Bee.
When I first saw the Bee, I thought the Bugaboo folks had lost their collective minds. It might have been the “most compact Bugaboo stroller”, but that didn’t make it compact enough to sneak into the coveted lightweight stroller category. No, it was decidedly [...]

Giveaways Day 16 - Britax B-Ready Stroller

Friday, July 16th, 2010

I sat down to write today’s blog post about the Britax B-Ready stroller, but because this is such a new item (it just hit our warehouse yesterday) and I had SO much to say, I decided to give it its very own post, aside from the 31 Days of Giveaways. If you want all the [...]

Britax B-Ready Stroller - an in depth review

Friday, July 16th, 2010

When Britax called a few months back and asked to schedule a time to come to Boston to show me a new stroller, I have to admit I rolled my eyes. Britax, a brand revered for quality and design in car seats, has been trying unsuccessfully to break in to the stroller category for years. [...]

Giveaways Day 14 - Mountain Buggy Terrain

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

It’s no secret the BOB Revolution has totally dominated the sport stroller category for a number of years. So when Mountain Buggy showed off the Terrain at the ABC show last fall, our first question was “Why this and not that?”
As it turns out, the Mountain Buggy Terrain addresses some deficiencies that exist in pretty [...]
