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. ...

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]

Warm as a lamb. Under a blanket. Next to a heat lamp. In Cancun.

I often have feelings of envy as I push my 19 month-old in her stroller on cold days, thinking it would be nice if it were she pushing me around town instead. Eh, I guess there's plenty of time for that when I'm 80. Now I'm feeling doubly jealous, since giving the Warm as a Lamb Winter Stroller Coat Cover a whirl. ... [More]

You know what Bugaboos really need? A way to cost even more.

Sure we all marveled at the Bugaboo strollers (and their price tags) when they first came out. They were the ergonomic and stylish answer to every chic mom's prayers. However some dads needed a little...more. ... [More]

Who needs a stroller when you've got a Cruizer?

With each successive child, it gets progressively more difficult to haul around my brood. I started with one of those gargantuan travel systems that's more trouble than it's worth. Then I moved on to the stroller frame that accommodates the infant carrier. But now I've found the greatest method of baby-hauling yet invented--the Infant Cruizer from GoGoBabyz. ... [More]

Buttoned-up baby gifts

As far as I'm concerned, the greatest gifts are the ones that you'd feel far too frivolous buying for yourself, but are unexpectedly practical. That theory goes double for new baby gifts. That's why the Car Seat Cardigan from Pomegranate Babies is my new go-to baby gift for the extra special new babies I know. ... [More]
