Giveaways Day 8 – Bugaboo Cameleon Stroller
Categories: Giveaways, Strollers
Today’s giveaway is our biggest yet. The Bugaboo Cameleon is still the gold standard in the hybrid stroller category. Many have tried to come close, but no other stroller matches the quality of design and range of functionality of the Cameleon. With a reversible seat and a reversible handlebar, the Cameleon can adapt to virtually… read more!

Giveaways Day 2 – Maclaren Quest Zodiac
Categories: Giveaways, Strollers
Maclaren is known for their quirky special edition strollers, many designed by some of the hottest names in fashion. But for 2010, one of these limited edition strollers is the Zodiac Quest – it’s not designed by anyone you’ve ever seen on E! but it’s a really fun idea and a sweet ride too. The… read more!

Stokke Xplory 2010 prelaunch
Categories: Baby, Strollers
The Stokke Xplory always gets mixed reactions from parents in our stores. The design is unconventional, and the price point is on the high end. No stroller is going to appeal to everyone, but I’ve always thought that the Xplory gets overlooked a little too often. When Zev was born, I got one as a… read more!

The Bugaboo you don’t know
Categories: Baby, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
Eli and I recently spent two days in Amsterdam, where we had the privilege of visiting the Bugaboo headquarters. The purpose of the meeting was to see some new products and lend our feedback. And while I wish I could talk about that, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, and violating it would be a heck… read more!

Mini-ABC Wrap Up
Categories: Car Seats, New Products, News and Information, Nursing & Feeding, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
Last week, I made a quick trip to Louisville, KY to take a look at the ABC Kids Spring Conference. This is the second year that ABC, who produces the massive juvenile industry show each Fall, has mounted this event. It’s a small show, especially compared to the behemoth in Las Vegas, but it’s only… read more!

Consumer Reports vs. Valco
Categories: Baby, News and Information, Strollers
Last week, Consumer Reports published a report calling the Valco Trimode stroller a “Safety Risk.” I have a history of skepticism with regards to similar claims Consumer Reports has made about other products, but in this case they appear to have done a little more homework. The issue here is the bumper bar. There is… read more!

Bugaboo Bee Plus and minus
Categories: Baby, Strollers
When we first caught a glimpse of this new evolution of the Bugaboo Bee stroller, Bugaboo was calling it the Bugaboo Bee Plus. Now, they’re referring to it simply as the Bugaboo Bee 2010, maybe because “B+” underpromises the “A+” improvements made to the stroller between the last version and this one. I wasn’t always… read more!

Orbit G2 available for preview and preorder
Categories: Baby, Car Seats, Strollers
We’re big Orbit Baby fans around here, so we were psyched when Orbit invited us to participate in the pre-launch of their new G2 Infant System and Stroller. Our Brookline and Wellesley stores are among the first stores in the whole country to have an actual G2 available for demonstrations and test-drives, and our web… read more!

Ready to Grow
Categories: Baby, Strollers
Both my sister and my sister-in-law are pregnant and due in June. It’s the second baby for each of them, which means we’re talking about double strollers. A lot. In 2004, I was starting Magic Beans while finishing my second pregnancy. All the research I’d done about double strollers was doubly important – for me… read more!

Maclaren Recall (it’s OK – really)
Categories: Baby, Recalls, Strollers
First of all, calm down. Yes, Maclaren is recalling one million strollers. And yes, some children have been injured by the strollers during the past 10 years. BUT. There are two very important things to keep in mind: 1. This is a voluntary recall – in spite of the injuries (and their frightening nature), the… read more!
