Skip Hop Props
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Mommy Gear, Nursing & Feeding, Travels & Trade Shows
OK, yes, several weeks have passed since the ABC show, and I’m still playing catch up. I’m carrying around a Stokke tote bag filled with press kits and catalogs and notes on a bunch of vendors and items I still haven’t gotten to. It’s frustrating, but I’m chipping away. Today, I’m tackling Skip Hop. Famous… read more!

Swaddle down under
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Newborn Essentials, Travels & Trade Shows
Swaddling saved my sanity with my second child, so it is a topic near and dear to my heart. For months, the only way she would fall asleep was if we swaddled her up tight, straightjacket style, and literally jumped up and down with her in our arms. By the time she outgrew swaddling, I… read more!

*No, it’s true. Maclaren is preparing to launch a lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defects in their strollers. All you have to do is register your stroller online within a certain timeframe after the date of purchase. To be perfectly clear, this will not cover issues due to wear and tear from regular use and abuse…. read more!

This is the first booster that is truly designed for a 100 pound child, with adjustments that will perfectly suit the proportions of smaller children as well.

Baby Bjorn lightens up
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Baby Carriers, Newborn Essentials, Travels & Trade Shows
Baby Bjorn introduced two new products at the ABC show, a new carrier and a travel crib. The carrier is called Synergy, aptly named since it’s basically a cross between the popular Active carrier and the lightweight Air carrier. This was an excellent decision. The Active carrier has been a parent favorite because of its… read more!

Sneak Picco at Recaro
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Car Seats, Travels & Trade Shows
At Recaro’s booth, we were ushered into a small private room to get a quick preview of their new infant car seat, the Picco, set to debut in April. The seat itself is still in a fairly early stage of design, but the side impact protection system looks fantastic. The base is very unique looking… read more!

Baby Jogger downsizes
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
Evaluating new products isn’t usually straightforward. It’s very rare that I’ll see something and know immediately whether or not it will succeed, but when I feel that sense of certainty, I always follow my gut. On the last day of the show, I finally got around to the Baby Jogger booth. I wasn’t expecting anything… read more!

Mutsy Slider
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
The Mutsy strollers have been very well received during their first year in the US. We’ve had good success with the 4-Rider model, a hybrid with four pneumatic tires (two large in the rear, two smaller in the front). The front air-filled tires make this stroller unusual and give it a very smooth ride. They… read more!

Home again
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Travels & Trade Shows
I’m back at home, reunited with my kids and trying to recharge. This show is always so exhausting. Last year, I was home for less than 24 hours before continuing on to Cologne for the Kind + Jugend show. This year, I’m not making the trip. The memories of last year’s European adventure are still… read more!
