▬the goody bags
Every mom
will receive a goody bag. Moms with
VIP
tickets will receive all items in a regular
gift bag plus additional items
designated in
orange
and marked by
 .
SQUIGGLE Shapes and Colors
by
RaNDomLine is a creative
activity for kids to learn, practice and
enjoy drawing and coloring shapes, patterns
and pictures. As kids advance through the
pad, the shapes and pictures become more
complex to improve fine motor skills,
stimulate their imagination, and keep them
engaged. SQUIGGLE Shapes and Colors is
perfect for parents who need a solution for
backseat squabbles, long trips to the doctor
or any time a quick remedy is needed to
occupy a child. With four colored pencils
provided, children can do things with simple
to complex shapes never thought possible.
Children will have the opportunity to create
characters, objects, patterns, and identify
shapes.
Need some hanging space on your stroller?
The
Think
King Mighty Buggy Hooks are
ideal for a diaper bag, purse or anything
you want to hang from a stroller. These
strong and lightweight
aluminum hooks won’t break. The deep U shape
can accommodate extra wide purse/bag
handles, and they are easy to attach with a
velcro strap that will not fall off or
slide. The hooks are short to hold bags
close to the stroller, and
moms can easily slip items on and off with
only one hand because there is nothing to
clip.
 Get
back to nature with the
BabyLegs®
Earth Collection. We're
wild about this new
organic BabyLegs® leg and arm warmers that
have a rich color palette inspired by the
beautiful natural elements of our world. The
Organic BabyLegs® protect knees while
crawling, make diaper changing easier and
are perfect warmers when baby gets that "air
conditioning chill" when going from the
Texas heat to indoors.
 Don't
know about you, but most public restroom
changing tables give us the hibby gibbies.
Thank goodness for the disposable
XL Changing Pads by
neat solutions. The pads are
soft, comfortable, and highly absorbent. The
absorbent part is for you.) The moisture
proof backing assures baby is protected from
germs and wetness, so you can focus on
what's on your baby, and not what's under
them. The 6-pack fits easily in your diaper
bag, and at 30"x16" it's the perfect size
for public diaper changing stations.
Baby Banz, Inc. was born in one
of the harshest UV climates in the world –Australia. Since then they have set
the global standard for children’s
sunglasses and are best known for
their unique wrap-around, banded design and
100% UV protective lenses. We love the
flexible, breathable strap, the high glare
reduction lenses, and the shatter-resistant
frame.
Kidz Banz are a perfect fit
for kids 2-5 and nearly a dozen color
choices will have your cool breeze styling
in the sun!
Can you teach a child to tie his shoes in 5
minutes or less? You can with the innovative
One, Two, Tie My Shoe kit
invented by a Texas mom. The kit includes
instructions, illustrations, a success
sticker and "special rings" that help
children through the most challenging part
of learning to tie their shoes - the "bunny
ears." This is one of those products that
caused us to exclaim "where was this
when..."
  Have
you ever found yourself standing over an
empty lunchbox, staring off in a daze? We
have. We wish we were as creative as some of
the other parents with cool shape sandwiches
and treats. But we’re human. Thanks you
Smashies! They developed a line
of fruit sauces that passes the Mom/Dad
test. Organic? Yes! Added sugar? Never!
Convenient? Yes! As one parent said “it’s a
guilt free snack. What parent doesn’t want
their kids to eat more fruits?” The
packaging is convenient and perfect for
little hands. With flavors like Snappy
Apple, Mango Smash and Straw Nana, moms are
sure to find one that their kids will love!
 Mama
Mio
has given moms their skin back. The
Super-Rich Body Cream
locks incredible moisture into your skin
with a combination of natural oils and
butters like Avocado and Evening Primrose
Oils, and Shea Butter. VIP MetroMoms will

 BornFree™
was first on the scene and set the standard
with Bisphenol-A Free plastic
training cups. These
colorful training cups feature a low vacuum
valve, designed to create a free flow of
liquid for your child's comfort. The soft
valve is the perfect natural transition from
the bottle. We applaud BornFree™ for their
safe and smart products!
 Named
one of the best eco-products of 2009,
Ever Bamboo deodorizers are
sustainable, reusable, and recyclable. We
love that the
Mini Deodorizer is a perfect fit
for the diaper pail, compost pail, gym bag,
smelly shoes, or fridge & freezer. Made from
the rapidly growing moso bamboo plant, the
bamboo charcoal is a natural deodorizer and
dehumidifier. Ever Bamboo products can last
an entire year or more with proper care.
After which, this 100% natural product can
be recycled into the ecosystem. No more
pretty-smelling
chemicals and their fancy canisters. Ever
Bamboo purifies by Nature. How Green! So
Smart!
 SmartKnitKIDS®'s
patented
seamless socks are perfect
for children experiencing sensory processing
differences, hypersensitivity or who simply
can’t stand annoying seams! These super soft
socks for sensitive little feet will not
wrinkle or bunch and are proven to reduce
irritation. They are completely free of
seams, and designed to provide comfort and
relief to children who struggle with “bumps
& lumps” in their socks. They also reduce
annoying wrinkling and bunching in the shoe,
and slipping down the leg unlike regular
socks that often have elastic bands at the
tops of the sock that can often pinch, bind
or be a source of irritation. SmartKnitKIDS™
Socks are made with high-tech fibers that
wick moisture away helping ensure a drier
and more hygienic sock environment, and are
anti-microbial,
inhibiting fungal odor-causing bacteria.
 The
ProGrade™ Soft Solution™ Roller Shade
by
Safety1st® helps shield your
child from that hot and bright Texas sun
while riding in the car. The ProGrade
Trademark means this roller shade was crash
tested by a team of certified Child
Passenger Safety Technicians. It’s made of
soft, cushioned materials and we love the
easy retract
button which allows you to retract the shade
without removing the unit. It provides full
window coverage for your child’s comfort.
 Ordinary
laundry care products can be too heavily
scented with strong chemicals.
Caldrea’s laundry products will

 Stunning
design. Stylish detail. Optimal
engineering.
Maxi-Cosi®
is Europe’s most popular—and
fashion forward—brand of car
seats and strollers and is
quickly becoming the new
standard in the U.S. Elegant and
functional, Maxi-Cosi® gives you
products that are lightweight,
modular and easy to use, and
which transcend the expectations
of on-the-go parents.
 Life
is good, but it gets better with
Loola™. From birth to
approximately 4 years and up to
50 lbs., Maxi-Cosi®'s brand new
Loola™ stroller is a full-size
stroller with an easy, compact
fold. The Loola has a wide frame
that makes tipping less likely
than with so many other
strollers. It of course has an
easy to handle 5-point harness
for safety. Loola also has a
reversible seat, allowing your
child to face you or look out at
the world. Another great feature
is the handle-mounted lock that
allows you to switch easily
between fixed or swivel front
wheels. The handles adjust for
your comfort, and Loola has a
generous shopping basket.
Loola is available in Oxygen
Black, Oxygen Red and our
favorite - the Choco Mint.
MetroMoms, get ready to
test-drive four of these
stunning strollers!
Loola is fully compatible with
the
Maxi-Cosi Mico™ Infant
Car Seat. The
lightweight design of the
Maxi-Cosi® Mico™ Infant Car Seat
makes traveling easy. It quickly
transitions from use in the car
– with its convenient
stay-in-car adjustable base – to
use with the Loola and other
Maxi-Cosi strollers. The Mico™
features a five-point harness
with up-front harness
adjustment, energy-absorbing EPP
foam and an integrated canopy.
Baby will be comfy cozy in the

 Oeuf
design company offers the simple
and clean look of modern
furniture, and incredibly so
much more. The
Classic Collection
perfectly balances design,
safety, and an eco-friendly
mindset. The Classic crib
utilizes fixed side rails and a
lower center of gravity, making
it safer, longer. The sides,
footboard and headboard are all
cut from single sheets of wood
panel to eliminate the dangers
of loosening joints. We love the
optional changing station that
rests on the Classic Crib,
allowing for comfortable and
convenient changes. The optional
conversion kit extends the life
of the crib by converting it to
a modern toddler bed. Made with
a solid birch base and
eco-friendly MDF made of
recovered wood fibers, and
painted in non-toxic,
water-based paint, the Classic
Crib is ideal for the
environmentally conscious modern
parent. Ouef’s founders and
designers, Sophie Demenge and
Michael Ryan, husband and wife
team and parents, have made it
their mission to offer practical
and stylish essentials, while
making quality and safety their
top priority..

 What
better way to dress up a crib
than with bedding by
Serena & Lily.
Sunshine...the 70s...your
childhood. This nostalgic
Maggie 3-piece crib set
print in spring green

sunsoaked summers and happy
times. The zippered cover
removes easily for washing. The
set features a 17" drop crib
skirt and 230-thread-count 100%
organic cotton, exclusive of
trim. It is made in the USA of

 A
hammock for baby . . . the
design itself is soothing and
exudes comfort. The
Hushamok
Dream is designed to
provide you and your baby the
most peaceful night’s sleep you
have come to know. The Dream is
for the all in one parent. The
modern, lightweight design of
the Usana (means baby in
Kiswahili) stand paired with
soft 100% organic cotton will
provide your baby a restful
“hushamok” sleep, while giving
you peace of mind. The Dream
rests on the Usana Stand, a
light aluminum that is flexible
and stylish. The Usana weighs
only 11 pounds, and can be used
in both indoor and outdoor
environments. The hammock is
made from 100% Turkish organic
cotton and can be used for night
and nap time sleeps for babies
up to 22lbs/10kg. The mattress
is soft and comfortable,
hypoallergenic and machine
washable. The Dream includes an
organic cotton travel bag.
Ahhhhh.

 P’kolino
continues to bring out the
modern kid in us with their
incredibly fun and smart items.
The Little Reader Chair was a
huge hit at the last Best &
Hottest and we are excited to
now feature the
Little Reader Sofa.
Made from the highest quality
materials, premium high-density
foam, and upholstered in cozy,
stain-resistant fabrics the
feathery light Little Reader is
striking and supremely stable.
Even smarter – it has two
pockets for “stuff” and easily
pulls out to a sleeper.
Another example of why we
love P’kolino:
The Multi-Use Art Easel.
It functions as a traditional
art easel, a chalkboard, a
whiteboard, or a puppet theater.
Two marvelous “coloring-book”
scenes are included to use as
backdrops when this clever easel
is in puppet theater mode. The
entire unit folds flat for easy
storage and unfolds in a snap
for use. P’Kolino attractiveness
and quality makes this easel is
in itself a work of art.

Svan
High Chair embodies form,
function and flexibility.
Designed for every stage of your
child's life, the Svan Chair
provides a safe seat for your
child from his first taste of
applesauce to his first computer.
The chair has a 3-point safety
harness, is easy to clean and
environmentally friendly. But
the single best feature of the
Svan Chair is its tremendous
versatility. It can be used as a
traditional high chair with a
tray, but remove the tray and
even a young infant can be
seated up to the table for a
meal with the family. Later on,
the safety guard can be removed
so your child can step up into
the youth chair on his own and
seat himself at the table. It
eventually becomes a full-size
chair. Best of all, the style
of the Svan Chair is never
compromised through all of these
stages. Your child can use the
Svan Chair even as an adult, but
the primary benefit is that the
adjustable foot support grows
with them until their feet reach
the floor in a regular chair
(typically around 8 to 10
years). After this, the Svan
Chair can be used as a
full-sized chair. |

 We
fell in love at first sight with
PlasmaCar
by
PlaSmart Inc.
It's simply one
of those items that makes
parents wish we were children
again. What puts PlasmaCar in a
class by itself is the cool
science behind this children's
ride on: a unique propulsion
system. Energy comes from
turning the steering wheel
continuously from left to right,
harnessing the natural forces of
inertia, centrifugal
force, gravity and friction.
It's easy to operate: all that's
needed is a smooth, flat
surface, kid power and hours of
fun. Children hop on a
PlasmaCar, then zip and zoom
around for an exciting
“joy”-ride! PlasmaCar is the
ideal toy for energetic
children, promoting healthy
exercise and works great indoors
and outdoors. The PlasmaCar is
available in Red, Blue, Green,
Purple, Pink and Yellow.

 We
love that modern European style
that blends function and design.
The
HandySitt by
minui brings your
child to the dinner table in
adjustable comfort by safely
attaching to most chairs. This
tray-less chair can be used with
children 6 months to 5 years,
and folds flat so you can hang
it on a wall or toss it in your
car. At just 5 pounds, you can
take it to Grandma’s or out to
dinner. Its parts are removable
for easily cleaning sticky
messes, and the
HandySitt is made with
eco-friendly materials and
finishes. Practical, functional,
and mod! |

 We
went gaga over
Go GaGa's not your
average diaper bags. The
ergonomic strap reduces back and
shoulder strain; the bags can be
used in a variety of ways, from
carrying laptops to gear for the
gym, so
 parents
get a great value; the sleek
style was created for both men
and women and is so fashionable
that it’s attracted a large
Hollywood following; and the
bags are available in recycled
materials and are large enough
to accommodate cloth diapers.
The comfy strap has a cell
phone/iPod pocket and a grip
texture on the underside that
holds it in place so it won’t
slip off your shoulder. The
shoulder pad also slides along
the strap to cinch it up for a
different look and feel that’s
popular with Dads. A matching
changing pad can also be used to
protect a laptop or serve as a
seat cushion for picnics, soccer
games and more. Two insulated
bottle pockets fit everything
from baby bottles and sippy cups
to water canisters and soda
bottles – they even fit wine
bottles for a picnic!
The smallest style, the
Slide, is perfect for
petite parents or those who
bring just the basics. It has 5
interior pockets and a center
divider that velcros into place
for more organization when you
need it. The Slide includes back
straps that can be used to hang
the bag from the handlebars of a
stroller or wheelchair as well
as carry a rolled up yoga mat to
the studio, and is large enough
to fit a 13.5”
laptop.
Inspired by the PanAm bags of
the 70’s, the Gondola
is Go GaGa's most streamlined
tote. It has three interior
pockets but does not include the
center divider or back straps.
The Gondola has a wide opening
which gives you easy access to
everything inside the bag. It
fits up to a 14.5” laptop.
The Messenger
is Go GaGa's largest bag and has
a wide opening, making it the
perfect choice for parents with
a lot of gear. It is identical
to the Slide in terms of
features, but is wider,
providing room for a 15” laptop
or making it a terrific diaper
bag for parents of multiples or
parents using cloth diapers. The
Messenger features an angled
front flap that allows you to
access one of the front pockets
while the flap is still clasped
shut.

 Baby
carriers let parents
hold their baby close while
keeping their hands free for
other things. Just as "Kleenex"
has become synonymous with
"tissue paper,"
BabyBjörn
is synonymous with baby
carriers.
Thanks to its well-conceived
design, the baby carrier is
 ergonomically
correct for the child as well as
comfortable and easy to use for
the person carrying baby. When
the child is older and his/her
neck stronger, the head support
can be folded down so that the
child can be carried facing
forward and have a look around.
And they are machine washable!
BabyBjörn carriers
have been around for 35 years,
and this year they are
celebrating them with a brand
new, richly colored collection
in eight personal colors. The
new Original Spirit
baby carriers have a
single-color
front and black shoulder straps.
They can hold
newborns (at least 3.5 kg/8 lbs
and 53 cm/21 ins) up to 11
kgs/25 lbs.
The Air is a
cool baby carrier, designed for
anyone who likes to move around
while keeping baby close. It’s
cool and comfortable, both for
you and for your child, thanks
to the unique, breathable
material from which it is made.
It is made from an airy 3D mesh
that efficiently carries away
heat and moisture - perfect for
Texas summers. It is soft and
flexible and shapes itself
gently to the baby’s body.
The Active is a
sturdy baby carrier, designed to
carry heavier children (from
newborn, at least 3.5 kgs/8 lbs
and 53 cms/21 ins, up to 12
kgs/26 lbs) for longer
periods of time. The comfortable
lumbar support and the wide,
padded shoulder straps provides
an even weight distribution.
Synergy,
BabyBjörn latest
carrier, combines maximum
comfort and lightweight
breathability in perfect
harmony. Synergy is made from a
smooth breathable material and
provides extra support for your
back and shoulders, so you can
carry your child for longer.

 Prince
Lionheart’s
Balance bike
teaches your child how to
balance – a crucial skill
necessary before transitioning
to a two-wheeled pedal bicycle.
Your child’s sense of
independence and self-confidence
will become evident as they
learn to balance and steer at
their own pace: first walking,
then gliding! Designed for
comfort and ease of portability,
the Prince Lionheart balance
bike’s solid birch wood frame
weighs less than 10lbs, has a
height adjustable seat, wide and
stable 12” rubber tires, and
comfortable handgrips. This bike
is a great transition from ride
on toys to a bicycle. It has a
height
adjustable, padded seat and is
recommended for children ages
2–5.

 MetroMoms
define their individual sense of
style instead of sacrificing it
to pre-maternity memories. If
your style vocabulary includes
“Carrie”, “Charlotte”, or
“Samantha,” then hang on to your
strollers and take a look at
Tinky Bébé. It
takes a mom to know function and
durability and a designer to
know fashion and style. Tinky
Bébé bags were created by a
designer mother who has found
the balance between both. The
“Charlotte” Diaper Bag
fashioned with Italian patent
leather, gold-plated and
gold-toned hardware on the
outside, features
water-resistant lining on the
inside. This designer diaper bag
includes a leather shoulder
strap, stroller straps, fashion
keychain
hook, diaper pouch, and lots of
functional pouches and pockets
inside and out. The
“Charlotte”
Diaper Changing Pouch
makes diaper changes on the go
easier and cleaner with water
resistant lining, change sheet
and
 space
for wipes and diapers. Place it
on your wrist or hook it on your
stroller and go! The Croc
embossed
“Samantha Designer Clutch
is ideal for a play date or a
trip to the store,
with water-resistant lining, a
fashion chain, coin pocket,
credit card holder, lipstick
holder and of course space for
diapers and wipes. |

  The
brand new Zippity
by
LeapFrog
is like a Wii Fit for the
under-5 crowd ~ with an
educational twist. Co-developed
with Disney, the Zippity is the
first interactive TV-based
gaming system for preschoolers
that combines full body
movement, music, education, and
fun. Preschoolers can take their
cues from characters like
Mickey, Tigger, and Pooh, and
the Little Einsteins. The system
comes with a foldable mat, and
that giant joystick-like thing
in the picture is called a
"bopper." It comes with eight
preloaded learning activities,
and the foldable mat and bopper
interact wirelessly with the
Zippity console that attaches to
your TV.
The Tag Junior
is LeapFrog's new learn-to-read
product designed for kids age
2-4. The chunkier Tag reader has
a frog-like look and a front
speaker that reads to kids from
specially inked books. The Tag
Junior system comes with a
LeapFrog-original board book
called If I Were, which
explores animal sounds. Each of
the other eight sturdy board
books in the Tag Junior library
focuses on a different preschool
theme, including sounds, colors,
letters of the alphabet, numbers
and social play. Curious George,
Dora the Explorer and Winnie the
Pooh are just a few of the
favorite brands featured in the
Tag Junior library. |

Kids giving you a wake-up
shout-out at 5am? When a
MetroMom told us about the
onaroo Teach Me Time!

battery option as this may have
to travel with you! So Neat-o! |

The
Thermobaby Daphne™ Infant Bath
Seat is also ideal for
small babies. Pediatrician
designed and recommended, this
comfortable seat is anatomically
designed to fit the contours of
baby’s body, and we love the

The unique shape of the seat
allows water to flow behind the
baby, and baby’s head stays well
supported in sinks or bathtubs
(Not suitable for Non Slip
surfaces.)
Once a baby learns to sit up,
they really want to sit up, but
a bathing baby sure can be
slippery! The Thermobaby
Aquababy Bath Ring has
a high contoured back and
anti-slip seat to make it safe
to bathe a baby sitting up. The
four large suction cups on the
underside of the seat adjust to
fit the shape of your bathtub,
and the spinning toys will
entertain baby during bath. Not
suitable for Non Slip surfaces.
Wow, that makes it easier! |

 Every
parent knows that when children
can't reach items, they become
upset. Parents must stop the
car, or reach behind in order to
get the child the items they
want. This inconvenience can
cause delays, disruption, and
stress. Introducing the
Snack & Play Travel Tray
by
Star Kids, a unique
and innovative product for
families on the go.
 The
Snack & Play Travel Tray
enhances the driving experience
by providing a flat, safe area
for children to eat and play. It
is ideal for both short and long
trips, and can be used anywhere
you go with your car seat, even
airplanes. |

 Does
your child have too many stuffed
animals? The
Boon
Animal Bag is a fun and
practical solution for rounding
up all those soft critters and
putting them to work. The Animal
Bag is an oversized, plush bag
that's covered with large,
zippered windows made out of
transparent, durable mesh.
Children can fill the bag with
stuffed animals of all sizes,
and then use the Animal Bag as a
soft seat. Made from high
quality, breathable fabrics, the
Animal Bag is machine washable,
or it can be dry-cleaned. In
addition to solving the stuffed
animal
storage dilemma,
the Animal Bag is earth-friendly
because - unlike most beanbag
chairs - it does not require any
foam fillers. |

 We
are very discerning when it
comes to toys, and love that we
can find so much that we adore
on
oompa
(and you can enter code metromom
by July 31 to receive 15% off
your purchase!).
 The
award-winning Bilibo
rocking chair
is one of our
favorites. It's a spinning top,
a cradle or a tunnel--children
create countless uses for the
Bilibo, both indoors and out.
Bilibo inspires creativity and
active play in children, and
also makes a hip room accent for
the modern child. Bilibo is
weight rated for children ages
2-7 years, is made from
high-density polyethylene, 100%
recyclable, shock resistant,
non-toxic and UV stabilized.
The
Discovery Puzzles
also are great. These wonderful,
two-layer puzzle will delight
and challenge young minds. The
images are lovingly printed and
finished directly onto a wood
surface ensuring the pictures
stay bright and colorful for
years to come.
 Our
favorite pattern is the
Safari as there is so
much to discover! Hippos lounge
in a pond, a zebra prances near
by, a cheetah and lions sleep
under the big, orange sun. A
friendly snake watches elephants
and a giraffe graze on a nearby
tree. A rhinoceros munches on a
bush while a monkey sits on top
of a safari jeep. And that's
just the top layer! Pull off
the nine irregularly shaped
wooden puzzle pieces to reveal a
new scene. We also love the
Discovery Tree Puzzle
designed by Susanne Kummer. The
sun shines, children fly a kite,
birds feed their chicks,
squirrels play in the trees, and
a rainbow shines in the
distance. And there's so much
more to find! Watch carefully,
and you can put all the pieces
back in the right places and
tell countless stories about the
people and animals in the
puzzle. Each puzzle piece has a
round, wooden knob that little
ones can easily grasp.

Tier Toys, the
Australian maker of a new
line of toys known as
Stackers
has created an ingenious
stack and play product line
that kicks off with the
debut of
Noah’s Ark.
Children get to walk pairs
of every imaginable animal
up the plank such as two
giraffes, two lions and even
two kangaroos! Part of the
beauty of this toy is the
sheer sprawling fun at your
fingertips as the Ark is
opened up layer-by-layer,
and the clutter-free
compactness of it once it is
reassembled. The speed and
ease with which the entire
Ark can be fully or
partially taken apart and
reassembled is astonishing,
making for many different
stages of play and infinite
possibilities for the
imagination. The Ark
consists of 12 different
stackable layers that lock
together into a solid, fully
inhabited ship when the
ramps are up. Included are
44 detailed play figures, 40
of which fit neatly into
their pre- labeled
resting places below decks,
while the heads and necks of
two giraffes extend regally
through the roof. Two human
figures stand watch on the
deck of a fully contained
and populous playground for
the imagination! |

Everyone knows that airplane
seat belts alone do not keep
your young child safe. That’s
why the FAA, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, the
National Transportation Safety
Board, and the airlines
encourage you to carry an FAA
approved safety restraint for
young children when you fly.
Until recently that meant
hauling a heavy, bulky car seat
– never designed to be portable
– through crowded airports,
security portals and narrow
airplane aisles. Then you had to
wrestle it into unforgiving
airplane seats for which it was
never intended. Thank goodness
for the
CARES
(“child aviation restraint
system”)! Just carry a CARES in
your pocket or purse, install it
on the airplane seat in one
minute, and turn any airplane
seat into a safe airplane seat
for your child! CARES is the
first and only FAA approved
harness type child safety
device. This innovative
restraint for kids 22-44 lbs
takes the hassle out of flying
with kids and keeps them as safe
as a car seat.

  Are
you building a unique nursery?
We found extraordinary mobiles
to enhance your decor (please
note that mobiles are not toys
and should be removed when your
child sits up to avoid the
danger of strangulation). The
HABA
Airy Fairy Fred Mini
Mobile is perfect for
the changing table or over the
crib.With removable
compartments.
The HABA Curtains Rise
Fabric Mobile
is adorable. An every day mouse
and bear perform wonderfully, be
it as acrobats or as cuddling
animals. They are attached by
magnets and can be removed for
cuddling.
The HABA Balloon Music
Box
is another great addition to
your nursery. The little gnome
slowly swings up to the sky in
his balloon to sing "good night"
along with the accompanying
calming sounds of a lullaby
tune. Then, in the morning, the
gnome is ready to happily greet
the child once again.
All aboard for the HABA
Big Voyage Pull Toy.
Cat, Mouse and Bear quickly look
for the right wagon. Now the big
voyage can begin! This
three-part soft mobile is great
for pushing, pulling, sorting,
and stacking. The figures are
delightful and make different
sounds and the wooden wheels can
be removed.
 The
Meadow Playing Rug
is perfect for tummy time. On
the meadow things rustle, squeak
and move about. Babies love it
and the sounds stimulate their
sensory awareness. The lateral
sides can be flapped up so that
the playing rug changes into a
little bed or a nappy changer.
The playing gym allows little
ones to discover even more. A
cloth may be placed over as
protection against mosquitoes.
Squeaker, rustling and glitter
foil pockets included. Stroller
toys not included.
The
HABA Little Friends
First Play Set brings
along everything a baby needs to
play with during the first year:
clutching toy, cuddlekins,
comfort blanket and teething
ring! And, so the mini zoo can
always come along anywhere, all
the animals have their own
rucksack. As such they make a
fab present for both babies and
their parents!

 If
you're like us, you love
Stride Rite shoes.
Would you believe they have
improved what was already the
best with groundbreaking
technology?! Stride Rite shoes
now feature
Sensory Response
Technology, or SRT --
the shoes are designed to
optimize the movements of the
foot to allow babies to develop
a healthy and natural gait
during the critical
learning-to-walk period. Why
SRT? Since babies’ feet are not
fully developed, they use their
toes to grip the ground and
distribute their weight; this
allows them to maintain balance
and establish a positive
walking, running or moving
pattern - otherwise known as
your gait. These early steps
determine the gait for the rest
of their lives: much like a
computer software program which
is developed over time. After
the program is complete, babies
will use it for the remainder of
their life. With extensive
research on gait characteristics
and function done at the
Hospital for Special Surgery’s
world renowned Leon Root Motion
Analysis Lab in New York, Stride
Rite was able to develop its
groundbreaking initiative in the
design of baby shoes. With
babies being able to better feel
the ground beneath them, they
will naturally develop healthy
walking patterns from the
earliest stages of movement.
Some additional features: SRTs
offer eco-friendly dri-lex
linings or leather linings that
act as a wicking agents,
extracting moisture to help keep
baby’s foot dry, comfortable,
and breathing naturally. The
upper is designed with ultra
flexible materials throughout,
that conform to the baby's' foot
naturally. The outsole is
engineered to allow babies to
feel the ground beneath them and
adapt to uneven surfaces while
providing the proper support.
The forefoot of the outsole
allows for multi-directional
flex, while the mid-foot
provides stability and the heel
provides cushioning. These three
components together aid in the
healthy development of the
child’s foot. For stability, the
mid-foot features an hourglass
construction that mirrors baby’s
foot, supporting bones and
muscles in baby's feet that are
not fully formed. The sensory
cushioning system conforms to
baby’s foot: sensory pods
provide the ultimate feedback
system because they move
independently allowing the child
to adapt to uneven surfaces.
Babies are protected by a smooth
rounded transition from outsole
to upper, which prevents
catching an edge and reducing
the number of stumbles and
falls. Finally, SRT has a
removable foot bed with our
unique check fit system that
allows mom or dad to know
if it is time to see a fit
specialist. SRT also features a
recycled EVA heel cup, and a
partially recycled outsole that
is stitched or attached by water
based adhesives to an upper
comprised of premium leather and
textile materials. Need we say
more? |

High chairs are great, except
when you don’t have one; that’s
where
Totseat® comes
in. Totseat® is great for
restaurants and also visiting

It adjusts for high and low
backed chairs - it has an
integral cummerbund, which
offers additional support (so
works on open backed chairs too)
- and it clips neatly and firmly
at the back fitting almost any
adult chair. Suitable for
children who can sit unsupported
between the ages of 6 and 30
months, the award winning
Totseat®, anchors the child in
safety and comfort in an adult
chair. It’s easy to use,
washable, and squashable and
conveniently fits into a handbag
or diaper bag for storage and
travel. Available in 3 funky
designs and colors for fashion

 ABC
Fun Pads began when
two parents searched to find a
product that would fit and
protect their coffee table, but
everything they found was too
thin or not fitted and just
didn't seem right. After finding
nothing that met their needs,
they started to think that the
table cover should not only
protect the table, but it would
also be neat if it had some sort
of activity on it. Voila - the
ABC Fun Pads were born and to
protect your coffee table, as
well as protecting your children
from bumps and bruises. The pads
provide a place for children to
play and for adults to gather
for entertaining and special
events. Fun Pads come in a
variety of patterns that let
your child's imagination soar.
It is 45" wide by 72" long and
fits tables from 20" x 48"
(smallest) to 40" x 68"
(largest) which fits most
standard sized rectangular or
oval shaped tables.
