bugaboo bee

Gear_bugaboo

Since Bugaboo’s U.S. launch in 2003, it has become the most sought-after stroller around. Its only drawbacks: size and folding difficulty. Finally, a more compact model: the Bee, above, the Dutch company’s first foldable stroller (it collapses with the press of a button), lands Stateside in September.

bus backpack

Considering how often I am singing the “wheels on the bus” song these days, I should really get Ella one of these zid zid kids Bus Backpack. A belated birthday gift maybe?

Cute!

box1

Box1main

Box1 is a great alternative to putting baby in a play pen. Place it directly on the floor and baby is surrounded by a soft cotton-covered polyurethane ring.

Great idea, a littley pricy though! And I wish they would show a picture with an actual baby/toddler in it. I don’t get a sense on how ‘high’ it actually is. I think I just want one for its sculputural quailties.

cool kids shoes

Medianl_1

We took our little miss EllaBella shoe shopping today – for the first time. The store we went to was an established kids shoe store at the upper west side here in NYC and all the shoes they had for the wee little ones were either blue/green for boys or pink/white for girls. This pink-for-girls-thing is driving me completely coo-coo! Wish they would have had these Smiths. They are just way cool, stripey, fun.

Doll House by Kidsonroof

Kidsonroof_doll_house

This incredible-looking toy house is made from corrugated cardboard, and has a simple-yet-ingenious combination of drop-in floor/wall/stairs and exterior doors and portholes. It stands less than 50cm tall, and either folds flat or stores all the accompanying toys like, well, like a box. 20 Euros, plus shipping. Amazing.

I love this camel grabbing toy that I bought for Ella. I do not understand though why the front leg is longer than the others and has a knot in it.. Hmm..

maartje steenkamp highchair

0105steenkamp

Maartje Steenkamp’s Children’s Highchair had me look and then laugh! It’s a HighChair that is meant to shrink as the child grows. It comes with a hand saw and a set of instructions, and you are supposed to cut the legs off periodically as your child grows. What a concept! Ha! Uhm… What about a potential second/third child?
