Yes, it's stroller blanket season again

le sac igloo from 7AM Enfant It's only mid-October and already the babies in my hood are being bundled under stroller blankets and sleep sacs and other bits of coziness to keep the chill out. ... [More]

Got more than one kid? You need a Tagalong.

Tagalong Stroller Accessory I've almost given up taking the double stroller with us anywhere because my older ones end up sitting in it for a solid five minutes, if I'm lucky, and then walking for the rest of the time. ... [More]

Surviving deforestation is one thing. Try surviving juice box mishaps.

Monarch Butterfly Endnagered Species Stroller I've always been a fan of cause-related marketing, or in human terms, charitable efforts for brands. Especially when the company really seems dedicated to the cause, and that's what I've found to be the case with Timi and Leslie and their new endangered species strollers ... [More]

Need more justification to get a Bugaboo? Try their new partnership with (PRODUCT)RED.

Go and Good Things Happen It's turning into good cause day at Cool Mom Picks, which is just okey dokey by us. In this case, it's Bugaboo, whose Frog stroller saved this Brooklyn mama from three years of curbs, cobblestones, and car-eating potholes, and the noble cause: The (PRODUCT)RED Global Fund to help fund AIDS programs in Africa ...

The Britax Blink will keep strolling and strolling...

The first thing each of my kids were strapped into was a Britax car seat. I liked Britax's quality and reputation, and now that both kids have outgrown the seat, it still looks like new (except for a bit of cracker smudge on the straps). So it makes sense that the Britax's foray into seats with wheels, or the Britax Blink stroller, won me over. ... [More]

Bumbleride Indie Twin - Redefining the Double Stroller

Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller I had forsaken double strollers because let's face it, they are gigantic monstrous beasts that can hardly be tamed by one poor mother. The front-to-back strollers made me feel like I was pushing a huge shopping cart, and the side-by-side strollers inevitable tick one of my kids off because they can't agree on the canopy or the seat position. ...

The Micralite Toro: Try it, love it, maybe win it.

I may be done having babies, but that doesn't mean I am done coveting the cool gear the new ones get, like the Micralite Toro Stroller. ... [More]

Bugaboo and Paul Frank get together and make something free. Yes, free.

bugaboo day trips map When you've got two uber-hip kids brands, it's not surprising that eventually they'll meet, fall in love, and elope to Vegas after which they'll make beautiful co-branded products together. (Well, maybe not the Vegas part.) ... [More]

Stroller hooks that work: A thing of pure beauty.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones - for every ten pitches we get for products you didn't know you needed and really, still don't, we get one for something like the Mighty Buggy Hook. ... [More]

Baby, it's cold outside

For a guy who sets the thermostat at a level approaching "sauna," it baffles me that my husband loves to take the jogging stroller on errands even when the temperature sinks below forty. While he dresses himself properly in layers, he tends to toss a blanket over the kids and assume they'll be warm enough. Um, honey? It's not the baby doing the jogging. ... [More]
