For a child, anything can be a toy: a box, a stick, a ballpoint pen, Mom’s dangly necklace. But we can all reach back into our memory and recover at least one toy that was special, different, impossible to replace. The very best toy car, the one with the shiny chrome paint job and the lightning bolt painted on it. A favorite doll, whose thick-lashed eyes closed when you put her down for a nap – you never got tired of dressing and undressing her. The plush bear who you took everywhere until he was threadbare, and your parents bought you a new, identical one but it just wasn’t the same. The Han Solo action figure that you kind of had a crush on.

There’s no magic formula to determine which toys will earn a kid’s undying devotion, but that’s okay: a varied play diet full of toys suited to your child’s interests and developmental stage will provide plenty of learning and fun. And our selection covers all the bases with items we know kids love – because we know toys. [more]

We know that you’re looking for baby toys that help your baby develop her body and mind, so we’ve got tons of rattles, teethers, play mats, plush, mobiles, activity toys, and more, many of which our babies used and loved. We know that you’re looking for toys that exercise your child’s imagination, so we’ve got plenty of offerings from beloved brands like Melissa & Doug, Playmobil, LEGO, and Schleich. We’ve got action figures and dolls, arts and crafts galore, and games that bring the family together.

And we’ve got expert staff who know our product catalog inside-out, and how to match the right toy to the right kid. So if you’re not sure which toy will make the perfect gift, ask us - send an email to customerservice@mbeans.com!

The jargon of the parenting world may sound incomprehensible to a newcomer. Phrases like “attachment parenting,” “travel system,” “LATCH system,” and “nipple confusion” can be baffling. So the more advice you can get from people who have been in the trenches themselves, the better, especially when you’re purchasing essential items like strollers.

So you've come to the right place! Magic Beans carries only the best brands of strollers, and only the best models from those stroller brands. We’re parents ourselves, and we’ve wheeled many a stroller down a snowy city street or a slick suburban sidewalk, so we understand what you’re looking for, and what you need. We know which strollers fit which families, and we have excellent stroller options for every kind of lifestyle. For an even better guide to choosing the right stroller for you, check out our Stroller Buying Guide.[more]

Are you a sporty family? You may want a rugged all-terrain stroller, or an athletic jogging stroller. A subway-riding family? You may want an elegant hybrid stroller, or a convenient lightweight stroller. Got twins, or two kids of different ages? There are many kinds of double strollers, and some single strollers that can add an extra seat; the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller even expands outwards into a side-by-side double stroller. Feeling fashion-forward? You may want to try out a Stokke Xplory Stroller, or a Bugaboo Bee Stroller. City parents love the Baby Jogger City Mini Stroller, and the souped-up Baby Jogger City Mini GT. Frequent travelers may benefit from the Orbit Baby G2 Travel System. And nearly everyone likes the hugely popular BOB Revolution SE Jogging Stroller.

There’s even more to it than that – but that’s okay, because we’re here to help. If you are in the Greater Boston area, visit one of our five Magic Beans locations in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Wellesley, or Hingham. Come and take a Stroller Test Drive, and meet our expert customer service staff, who will go the extra mile to find the perfect fit for your family, and make sure that you’re happy with your purchase. We have a wide assortment of colors, styles, and accessories in stock, ready for you to take home.

But if you don't live in the Northeast, don't worry! We can offer you personalized service wherever you live. Our Stroller Matchmakers are available to introduce you to the stroller of your dreams, and answer all of your questions. You can also call our toll-free number: (866) 600-BEAN.

Stroller shopping doesn’t have to be hard: just shop at Magic Beans.

The car seat may be the ultimate symbol of parental responsibility, marking your car as one that belongs to an official adult. A mom. A dad. With a baby. Who you need to keep safe.

Safety is easy when you buy your car seat at Magic Beans. Our hand-picked selection of road-tested infant car seats, convertible car seats, and booster seats gives you plenty of options for optimal safety. And if that wasn’t enough, we have certified car seat technicians on staff to make sure that your seat is installed correctly.

We’ve got car seats from trusted brands like Graco, Chicco, Maxi-Cosi, and Britax, plus the rebranded Diono (formerly Sunshine Kids). We’ve also got high-style, high-tech seats from Clek, and cool offerings like the Bubble Bum inflatable booster seat.

Here at Magic Beans, we do our homework on all of our products, so you can be sure that we’ve got the safest car seats and booster seats in every style and price category. Every new advance in car seat technology comes to our stores and our customers first. Because your child comes first for you – so your child’s safety comes first for us.

Think of new parenthood as a year-long trek through a country that you’ve never visited before. You may know a bit about the culture and terrain, but there’s no definitive map, and the inhabitants don’t speak your language.

It’s a good thing that other people have thoroughly explored this territory and can guide you on your way through Babyland. We can set you up with all the equipment you’ll need on your journey: baby carriers that make it easy to tote your tot, whether you’re climbing mountains or just hanging around the house; a variety of diaper bags that includes options for every Mommy style; baby bouncers and baby rockers to help you soothe your child to sleep; and baby monitors and babyproofing equipment  to ease your worries.

And all of your favorite brands are available to equip you on your voyage: carriers from Ergo Baby, Baby Bjorn, Moby Wrap and more; diaper bags from Skip Hop, Petunia Pickle Bottom and others; the MamaRoo Bouncer; and hundreds of other companies and products you trust.

Babyland isn’t very far away – but at least you’re not traveling alone. Get your baby gear from the experts at Magic Beans, and if you’re not sure which way to go, we’ve got personal shoppers and a registry service to give you a hand.

A nursery should be a peaceful, relaxing place. This applies both for the baby, who will be sleeping there, and for you, who will be largely sleepless there.

For the baby’s comfort, we have an assortment of cribs and bassinets that boast modern style and sturdy, safe construction. Try one of the classically beautiful cribs from Oeuf NYC or Bloom Baby, or go your own way with the unique Stokke Sleepi crib. Most of our cribs transform into toddler beds, too. Top them off with mattresses from brands including Naturepedic and Nook, and our top-notch selection of crib bedding.

For your comfort, you’ll want a really, really good nursing chair. Pamper yourself with one of the stunning, luxuriously comfortable gliders and rockers from Monte Designs. Add an ottoman and put your feet up – you deserve it!

And to make life easier all around, we’ve got an excellent selection of nursery furniture and accessories, dressers, changing tables, high chairs, travel cribs, playroom furniture, and more.

Feeding your baby means introducing her to all of the wonderful flavors of the world: sweet, savory, sour, and salty. It also means she’ll introduce those flavors to your floors, walls, ceilings, and blouse. Having the right gear makes it easier to get as much nutrition as possible into your baby, and as little as possible ground into your carpets.

Whether you start out with the breast, the bottle, or both, we’ve got plenty of items to help you channel that milky goodness into your baby. If you’re breastfeeding, we’ve got nursing bras, nursing pillows, breast pumps, nursing covers, breastmilk storage bags, and more from beloved brands like Medela, Boppy, Bravado, and Bebe Au Lait. We’ve got bottles too, with BPA-free offerings from Dr. Brown’s, Lifefactory, and more.

And then there’s the phase where you introduce solids – if you want to make baby food at home, Magic Beans is the place for you! Check out the cute and convenient Beaba Babycook, feeding products from Boon and OXO, and more. We’ve got stylish high chairs from Bloom, Boon, OXO, and Baby Bjorn, plus the well-loved Tripp Trapp from Stokke.

It can feel downright Sisyphean to keep a small person clean who doesn’t understand the rules of hygiene (and has limited control over his bodily functions). But as you know, “diaper” spelled backwards is “repaid,” and you’re repaid every day for your efforts as you watch your happy baby grow and thrive.

In the meantime, though, having the right equipment will make the pre-potty years easier. The Bath, Potty & Diapering department at Magic Beans is your one-stop baby cleanliness shop, designed to equip you with everything you need to keep your favorite little person happy, healthy, and sweet-smelling… and eventually, to teach him how to handle this business on his own. [more]

Your child’s skin is delicate, so our Baby Bath & Skincare section focuses on items that are natural and gentle. We have a huge selection of baby shampoo, skin creams, bubble baths, sunscreens, and lotions from top brands including Mustela, MD Moms, and Aden + Anais. For safety and comfort, our Towels & Tubs section is loaded with innovative and comfy baby bathtubs, plushy hooded towels, and more. And have we got bath toys? Oh my, yes! Fascinate infants and make your toddler giggle with bath toys from Alex Toys and Boon Baby, and when bath time is over, scoop up all of the scattered toys and hang them up to dry with the classic Boon Frog Pod.

Diapering isn’t anyone’s favorite part of parenthood, but making it a little cuter helps, and we can’t think of anything more adorable than a toddler scuttling around in a GroVia Cloth Diaper Shell. Check out our awesome cloth diapering selection from GroVia, and all the other items that make both cloth diapering and disposable diapering easier, including the Diaper Dekor Plus, which is our very favorite diaper pail, plus changing mats, changing pads, reusable baby wipes, and more.

And finally, when little girls and boys become “big” girls and boys, our Potty Training department is full of tools to ease the transition out of diapers. Try potty chairs or toilet seats from Baby Bjorn, or get eco-friendly with the becopotty, which biodegrades in your garden when toilet training is done!

Just look at those chubby cheeks, those teeny toes, those perfect little fists: your baby doesn’t need a single article of clothing to enhance her cuteness. Nevertheless, baby clothing is necessary to keep babies warm and comfy (and to avoid raised eyebrows). So, we do our best to find clothes and accessories that enhance the natural charm of every child.

We have all the basic baby clothes you’ll need, from onesies to layette gowns to baby swimsuits to teeny teeshirts to even teenier socks, which really take baby cuteness to the next level. Everything is made with fabrics that coddle baby’s delicate skin: organic cotton, organic bamboo, and gentle, fuzzy polyester. And baby bodysuits from Magnificent Baby fasten with magnets, making it easy to get even the squirmiest, wiggliest baby dressed and warm.

At bedtime, it’s important for babies to be bundled up tight, and we’ve got lots of swaddling blankets and receiving blankets to keep infants warm, calm, and snug. Check out some of our beautiful muslin wraps from Aden + Anais and Swaddle Designs. And when baby is a little older, it’s time for footie pajamas from Hatley – check out our huge selection! [more]

Baby shoes and socks bring the cuteness like nothing else: there’s just something about the teeny-ness of infant feet that makes every grownup squeal with delight. Add some Mary Jane Socks from Trumpette, and irresistible little feet become even more irresistible. When baby begins to take his first steps outside, Robeez and Pediped baby shoes set the standard for protecting baby feet, and have soft soles that are correctly designed for foot development. We have baby boots too, for both rain and snow.

Your need for baby hats and baby accessories changes with the seasons: in the warmer months, your baby will need a warm fleece hat to keep his ears warm, and cute mittens to protect teeny paws from the chill. In the summer, baby hats protect little faces from the sun, and we even have teeny baby sunglasses so your baby will look as cool as he feels!

Finally, our rain gear section has cute kid-sized umbrellas, baby raincoats, and boots that are made for splashin’ – and that’s just what they’ll do!

Kids and parents both love the whimsical animal designs on the eco-friendly products from 3 Sprouts. Check out their adorable hooded towels for babies, with animal faces and ears, their cute and practical polyester storage boxes, and their charming organic canvas caddy/totes.

The name 4moms actually comes from the very first focus group the company had. This group was made up of five moms, but they thought "4moms" had a better ring to it than "5moms" so that's what they went with. Since 2005, 4moms has been dedicated to finding innovative solutions to make parenting tasks easier and more enjoyable for families all over the globe.

The produce only a limited line of products, each being one of the most advanced and easy-to-use of its field. From their Clearwater tub to the MamaRoo rocker, parents everywhere love 4moms for their exceptional products.

Aden + Anais owner Raegan Moya-Jones is a mom with a mission: bringing back the traditional practice of swaddling babies. Aden + Anais specialize in organic muslin swaddling blankets with a breathable design that lets babies experience the benefits of swaddling without overheating – available in a variety incredibly soft fabrics for all seasons, with a variety of delicate, lovely patterns.

When your baby outgrows swaddling, try an Aden + Anais Sleeping Bag, made from the same organic fabrics. We’ve also got Aden + Anais bibs, Dream Blankets, hooded towels, and more. These products have beauty and style – and they’re safe, and good for the earth.

It’s a fact: everyone loves Alex Toys. Babies love Alex Toys because their baby toys are designed to be entertaining and stimulating to the littlest kids while aiding in their development. Toddlers love the bath toys and art kits from Alex Toys because they help kids exercise their creativity. Older kids love the fashion craft kits and outdoor toys from Alex Toys because these activities are fun to do with their friends.

Parents love Alex Toys because these high-quality toys for kids let kids express themselves in a wholesome and age-appropriate way, and build their self-esteem. And we love Alex Toys because… we know you’ll love them.

About BABYBJÖRN

When you hear the word “baby carrier,” chances are, you think of Baby Bjorn. The iconic Baby Bjorn baby carriers have carried over 30 million children over the course of over 50 years, and they’re still going strong. Not that this beloved Swedish brand has stayed static over all those years: their carrier selection is constantly changing to meet the needs of new parents and apply the latest technology and knowledge about what babies need. The current models, including the Baby Bjorn Synergy Carrier, the Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier, the Baby Bjorn Miracle Carrier, and the Baby Bjorn Active Carrier, are all designed to make it as comfortable as possible to carry your baby everywhere you go – and we know that babywearing is a good practice for a happy baby.

And that’s not all – Baby Bjorn also offers one of our favorite travel cribs, a convenient and modern high chair, feeding gear, potties, and more.

Despite the name, Baby Jogger strollers aren’t just for athletic parents. At high speeds or low, these sporty strollers merge comfort and convenience, which is why you’ll see so many Baby Jogger City Mini strollers on your city block. The Baby Jogger City Elite stroller is built for rougher terrain, and the Summit jogging stroller models add jogging capabilities for a great athletic experience for parents and babies, together.

All Baby Jogger strollers are manufactured using a staged assembly process designed to reduce the margin of error, making these sturdy little beauties last for many years of heavy use. But perhaps the best thing about Baby Jogger strollers is the fantastic Quick-Fold technology. It never ceases to amaze us how a completely solid stroller can fold neatly in two in a single step, just by lifting a strap. Try it and see – we suspect you’ll be hooked. We certainly are.

Ever read the label of a household cleaner and think, “Whoa. That’s harsh”? That’s what inspired Kevin and Keith, the “partners in grime” who founded Babyganics, to create natural cleaning products that are safe for the earth and for babies – and really get surfaces clean, too!

Along with earth-friendly cleaning products, these guys also make fantastic skin-care products, bathtime products, laundry detergent, and more. Many of their ingredients are plant-based, and they’re all ingredients you’ve actually heard of, rather than exotic concoctions you’d need a chemistry degree to understand (or to spell). It’s gentle. It’s simple. And it works.

Babysoy is the 1st company in the world to create baby's newborn wardrobe using soybean protein fiber. Babysoy features modern baby layettes made from eco-friendly soybean fiber. Babysoy is conscientious and green by using renewable natural resources as the raw material for our baby wear – which is the leftover pulp from tofu, soymilk and other soy products.

About Beba Bean
Beba Bean was co-founded in 2002 by mom and entrepreneur, Lisa Malcic with the creation of the Pee Pee Teepee™. Being a mom of 2 young children, coupled with a clothing design background, Lisa saw a gap in the baby apparel and gift market for innovative products that parents loved and babies couldn’t live without! Keeping a fun whimsy feel and fashionable edge to each product she creates, Lisa follows 3 design essentials: Washability, Changeability and Safety. “Every piece I design is personal. I always take into account the things I love about children, the way I live my life as a mother and how to make life easier for every parent.” Lisa Malcic 2009

About the Pee Pee Teepee™
With over 2 million Pee Pee Teepees™ sold to date, this product speaks to every parent of a baby boy. A must-have diapering accessory for newborns; excellent baby shower gift with guaranteed giggles! Terry lined cotton flannel for absorbency. Cone shaped to fit between thighs of baby. Washable and re-usable. Available in 20 patterns, in both cellophane packaging and flannel laundry bags.

Perhaps you’d prefer to nurse your baby in private, but when she’s hungry, she’s hungry. For those moments when baby needs a meal right now, there’s Bebe Au Lait, whose stylish nursing covers let you breastfeed without any exposure, whether you’re at the mall, at church, at the grocery store, in your car, or anywhere else babies need feeding.

What makes Bebe Au Lait nursing covers special is the Rigiflex™ neckline, which holds the top rim of the nursing cover outwards. This lets your baby get proper ventilation under the nursing cover, but most importantly, it lets you and the baby see each other, so you don’t lose the delightful intimacy and bonding that comes with breastfeeding.

Check out our selection of gorgeous, easy-to-use nursing covers from Bebe Au Lait, plus burp cloths, gift sets, and more!

Gabby Caperon had already mastered sailing and rock climbing before she took on the biggest challenge of all: motherhood. When her adventures in babywearing led her to combine the virtues of a Mei Tai baby carrier, a ring sling, and a hiking backpack, she founded Beco Baby, and we’ve got plenty of Beco here for you!

Beco Baby’s designs include the popular Beco Butterfly 2 baby carrier, which allows for front or back carrying, as well as the Beco Gemini baby carrier, which is super-comfortable and easy to put on. Beco’s gorgeous vintage-styled patterns are well-loved by both moms and dads, and many of these carriers come in organic fabrics which are both baby-safe and earth-safe. Ready to go Beco?

Beeposh offers bright, creative, original plush.  In our opinion, it is among the softest plush available and makes the perfect companion or pillow!

Clean, contemporary, gorgeous! Bloom Baby furniture has an unmistakable look that conveys quality and innovation without a ton of bells and whistles.

A Bloom-styled nursery is simple, modern, and restful, with a solid, cozy crib (perhaps an Alma Crib or a Luxo Crib) and matching dressers and changers. A Bloom-styled kitchen has a totally cool candy-colored high chair (the Bloom Nano, Bloom Fresco, or Bloom Loft). And a Bloom-styled family has a really great wardrobe. We can just tell.

We wouldn’t have guessed that this adorable flower-shaped baby bath was conceived by men, but it’s true! The Blooming Bath baby bathtub was invented by four dads who describe themselves as a cartoonist, a golf putter designer, a surfer, and a geek, and their goal was to make bathing a newborn baby easier and more fun.

“When your baby’s so soapy and slippery and squirmy and when you’re trying to bend over a tub or keep them in place in the sink — frankly, it just takes a lot of the enjoyment out of a moment that should be such a great time,” says David Morelock (the surfer).

It just so happens that the shape of a flower, in cushy foam, is the perfect solution: this baby bath works brilliantly to position your baby in the sink for bathtime. Not only is the Blooming Bath baby tub just about the cutest thing we’ve ever seen, but it also fits into nearly any sink and provides comfy support for happy water babies. The snuggly fabric provides great stability and cradles baby’s head and neck, so you can use both hands for soaping, shampooing, rinsing, and playing! And when the baby is clean and dry, you can wring out your Blooming Bath baby tub and chuck it into the dryer. It’s gloriously simple.

Who knew something so cute could be so useful? We can’t wait to see what the team at Blooming Bath comes up with next!

In an interview with IdeaMensch.com, Julien Mayot, founder of Blue Orange Games, said, “Simple things are coming back and will never be out of fashion. Spend real time with friends: shut down your TV, your computer and Facebook, call six friends and organize a board game night.”

We agree completely! And our selection from Blue Orange Games is a great place to start. These award-winning games are made with durable, eco-friendly materials, but most importantly, they are really, really fun. Take, for instance, Spot It!, a modern classic that both kids and grownups love – this delightful matching game is definitely one of our favorites. Or colorful balancing challenges like Chickyboom, Zimbbos, and Coocoo. Or strategy challenges like the beloved Gobblet.

There’s no end of fun with Blue Orange, and it’s fun that the whole family can have together. So what are you waiting for?

You may ask: who is this “BOB” character that all these moms keep talking about?

It turns out that BOB isn’t a person – BOB’s an acronym, meaning “Beast of Burden,” the phrase that founders Roger Malinowski and Philip Novotny used to describe their fantastic sport utility and jogging strollers.

BOB Strollers are tough, sporty all-terrain strollers that tear up sidewalks and trails with aplomb. The jewel in their crown is the BOB Revolution SE, a stroller that’s ubiquitous everywhere you go: described by some as “the world’s best stroller,” the Revolution SE is versatile, maneuverable, comfortable, and gorgeous. In a word: perfect.

Along with the BOB Revolution SE, we also have its “twin” sister, the BOB Revolution Duallie SE – a double stroller to reckon with, in both town and country – and tons of accessories, including infant car seat adapters, weather shields, and more. Check out our selection, and get your own: you’ll be very glad you met BOB.

Sometimes, your kids can show you the way to success. Rebecca Finell had a product, the Frog Pod, to launch, and Ryan Fernandez was looking for a business venture. When their kids started playing together in church, a match was made in business heaven.

The Frog Pod and other Boon Baby designs have a playful look that draws kids in, and practical functionality that makes them irresistible to parents. Take, for instance, the candy-colored Boon Flair High Chair, which uses a pneumatic lift for height adjustment. It’s practically a toy – and it’s also the perfect perch for feeding your baby. Or the Boon Squirt Spoon, which takes a few steps out of the process of feeding your baby, and looks great doing it, too.

Explore our assortment of Boon Baby bath toys, feeding products, baby food preparation products, room accessories, and more. They’ll enhance both the look and the function of your home – what’s not to love?

There’s no stroller quite like a Bugaboo. Sure, there are other luxury hybrid strollers on the market, but Bugaboo created the category, and continues to redefine it with each new model. Whether you’re hauling a growing brood with a Bugaboo Donkey, buzzing across town with a Bugaboo Bee, or taking a long city stroll with the Bugaboo Cameleon, you don’t need any celebrity endorsements (although there are many) to tell you that a Bugaboo stroller is something special.

The typical Bugaboo stroller is both simple and sophisticated, combining top-notch engineering and construction with magnificent handling. From this starting point, the Bugaboo models branch out into various directions, each with its own distinct personality and purpose.

For instance, if you’re all about traveling light, then you want the Bugaboo Bee stroller, the 18-pound beauty that folds with the seat on, and turns on a dime. If you need some more all-terrain capability and a ton of seating configurations, then you’re going to want the Bugaboo Cameleon stroller. And for serious carrying capacity, you want the Bugaboo Donkey stroller, which transforms from a single to a double stroller in three clicks – and back again!

These sleek, durable strollers continue to dominate the market because they do what they’re supposed to: Bugaboo strollers make your life easier, and they look goshdarned good while they’re doing it. And we’ve got tons of Bugaboo accessories to tweak your Bugaboo to perfection: get car seat adapters, foot muffs, cup holders, and more!

CARES is designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds. These youngsters are old enough to be in their own seats, but are too small for the seat belt alone to protect them. Their bodies cannot withstand the jolts that are common in routine transportation, much less emergency situations, and they flail forward or slide beneath the seat belt if they are not held securely in place.

Each year more and more young children fly. But until CARES came along, what was missing was a convenient, hassle-free way to keep young flyers safe. Here's what makes CARES such an invaluable travel solution:

* CARES is the first and only harness type Aviation Child Safety Device to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an alternative to a car seat.
* CARES is an elegantly designed belt-and-buckle device that works in conjunction with the regular airplane seat belt and provides young travelers the same level of safety as a car seat.
* CARES weighs just one pound and fits into a 6" stuff sack! It is easily portable, simple to install, adjustable to every size airplane seat, and usable on any seat in the airplane, except in the emergency exit rows.
* Need your car seat on the other end of the trip? Just check it through as luggage - and carry CARES on board in your pocket!

CARES is manufactured exclusively by AmSafe Aviation, the foremost manufacturer of aviation seatbelts and pilot restraints in the world. (Turn over your airplane seat belt buckle. Chances are it says AmSafe.) CARES is made of the same industrial-strength webbing as your own seat belt and is engineered to the highest aviation-safety standards.

Green Toys makes an awesome line of classic children's toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet.

All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It's cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in Magic Beans?

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren't shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won't get seasick before they get to your home!

Green Toys products pass a plethora of tests, including:

    * Consumer Safety Inprovement Act (CPSIA)
    * Consumer Products Safety Standard Specification, ASTM F963
    * California Prop. 65 restrictions on lead & cadmium
    * FDA regulations for food contact
    * Voluntary testing for no BPA (Bisphenol-A)
    * International standards EN71 and ISO 8124
 

The family needs a better place to gather than in front of the TV. IdeaPaint can turn virtually anything you can paint into a high-performance dry-erase surface, giving your family a place to interact, communicate and fully explore your creativity. No matter where you use it, it can keep your family connected. Who knows, it may even help end the battle over the remote control.

Take a group of girlfriends in ever-swinging London. Add over a decade of experience with luxury skincare, aromatherapy, and sourcing the best biochemists and dermatologists around. Factor in the personal experience of these ladies becoming busy mommies with their own skincare needs. The result is Mama Mio, a dynamite skincare line that is in over 700 stores in 8 countries, 150 premier spas, and countless homes.

With this line of products, moms of the world unite to get the very softest, most healthy, fabulously radiant skin possible. Using formulations of rich essential oils and vitamin complexes, Mama Mio products pamper all skin types during each stage of mommyhood

Not only are the ingredients all-natural and wholesome, but they actually work. Besides all the clinical research, we use these skincare lotions and oils ourselves and can proudly vouch for them. Not a mom? Though Mama Mio products are specially formulated for moms at all stages, you don’t need to be pregnant to enjoy the beautiful results.

Oeuf evokes the image of simple, clean and intuitive design.  But there's so much more.

Before the economic meltdown plaguing the world today, before green and eco friendly were the new buzz words and hottest trend, there was Oeuf.  From the beginning, Oeuf has believed in designing products that offer real value to consumers without ever compromising on quality, of the highest order.

From making a conscious choice to manufacture in Europe versus China; from offering their clients furniture that is not only high quality but also multifunctional: a crib turns into a toddler bed, prolonging its usefulness far beyond the infant years; to always being mindful of its impact on the environment and the communities it serves. This is Oeuf.

From inception, Sophie and Michael were motivated by a desire to reduce unnecessary purchases and offer solutions to parents that made sense with the demands of a modern lifestyle.  A French/American husband and wife team that is steadfast and relentless in its goal to keep Oeuf true to its mission.  From an alpaca mitten to its Classic Crib, every inch of Oeuf's design is thoughtful and focused on three key principals: quality, practicality and function - all packaged in beautiful design.  It's about a few essential, high quality and multifunctional, pieces that resonate with today's cash strapped consumers.  And Oeuf operated this way, long before being smart about money and the environment became a survival strategy.

It all started with the birth of their first child in 2002.  As part of a new generation of design-conscious and environmentally aware parents they had to consider a cross-section of factors as they endeavored to clarify the modern nursery. Rather than producing a multitude of products, they decided to streamline the accommodations of their new lifestyle into a few essential pieces. Oeuf's mission has become to make those essentials practical and stylish, without compromising quality and safety - their top priority.

Our goal as a company is to bring color, fashion and style to your organic baby blankets, toddler bedding and even Mom's throw blanket - because we care about both! Our passion is providing you with the highest quality and service.

Our home.
We are located in Northern California and our ORGANIC baby blankets are made in the United States, because we think that is important.

Our inspiration.
We love our families, respect the environment, and enjoy fashion. However, it has been difficult to find a natural blanket for baby or for our family and our friends that is healthy, environmentally friendly and stylish. Since we both tend to be a bit uncompromising when it comes to our families and friends, we decided to take some "baby steps" of our own and start Robbie Adrian luxury organics.

The Taga Bike & Stroller has finally sailed in from Europe, and it’s been a long wait: what city parent could resist a stroller that converts to a bicycle? The Taga bicycle pram is an amazing urban travel solution that seems so obvious we wish we’d thought of it first.

But Dr. Shlomo Barak, of the Netherlands, beat us to the punch – the Dutch, after all, are avid cyclists, and frequently use three-wheeled “cargo bikes” to transport both cargo and kids. Transforming a cargo bike into a bike stroller was the logical next step. The Taga team spent four years planning and tinkering. Designers, engineers, and manufacturers with backgrounds in strollers, bikes, fashion, and textiles weighed in to create a safe, stable, and beautiful three-wheeled bicycle that converts to a stroller in less than a minute. According to their webpage, the goal in creating the Taga Bike & Stroller was a product with “a sense of style, an intuitive functionality that just feels right, and a sense of flow and ease that parents appreciate.”

The resulting bike stroller (or stroller bike?) is unique and eye-catching, and loads of fun for both parents and kids. Your child rides in a safe and comfy seat with a five-point harness, located right between the Taga bike’s handlebars, so you can see each other and chat all the way to the grocery store. Then, when it’s time to navigate the great indoors, just convert your Taga and stroll!
