Parents have come to trust the
Britax brand for safety, comfort, fashion and detail.
We are so impressed with this
line that we are featuring both
their car seats and new
strollers.
The industry leader continues to raise the bar when it comes to safety and comfort features in seats. Introducing the Next Generation of car seats, protecting your baby from birth to belt. The redesigned line features revolutionary safety technology.

The Chaperone Infant Car Seat can accommodate children between 4 and 30 pounds and up to 32 inches.
The
Advocate 70 CS is a high-weight capacity convertible car seat that introduces the revolutionary energy-managing Side Impact Cushion Technology™, reducing incoming side impact crash energy by 45 percent by diverting crash forces away from the child.

The Advocate 70 CS is equipped with Britax’s proprietary True Side Impact Protection®, HUGS™ and a Click & Safe® Snug Harness Indicator. It features a five-point no-rethread harness, a quick-adjust head restraint and harness, multiple buckle and recline adjustments, and a body pillow for comfort and infant positioning.

As a belt-positioning booster, the Frontier 85 is compatible with the new Britax SecureGuard™ Belt Positioning Accessory Clip. The SecureGuard, which is sold separately, helps prevent the child from sliding under the lap-belt portion of the safety belt during impact. A quick-adjust handle adjusts the height of the head restraint and five-point harness without re-threading the harness straps. It also has comfortable armrests, dual cup holders, and a durable, washable cover. This could be the last seat you purchase for your child!
The
Parkway SG is a belt positioning booster that features SecureGuard™ anti-submarining technology, which helps prevent the child from sliding under the lap belt (or submarining) during a collision. The Parkway SG offers True Side Impact Protection® and easily converts to a backless booster while maintaining the SecureGuard feature. It also provides supportive high-density comfort foam to cushion the child, a quick-adjust mechanism to easily adjust the head restraint, and color-coded vehicle belt guides to help correctly position the vehicle seat belt. The Parkway SG is designed for three-across seating in many mid- and small-sized vehicles, and fits children from 40 pounds and 38 inches up to 120 pounds and 63 inches.
The new Britax strollers are thoughtfully deigned to fit your child and your lifestyle, and deliver the quality, comfort, detail and fashion parents expect from the Britax name.

 We've
never seen a parent vibrate
their child like a bouncy seat
and hardly seen one swing a baby
around like a swing. BUT, we've
seen thousands of parents scoop
their little ones up in their
arms and bounce and sway. And
that's what the
mamaRoo by
4moms does. It
moves like you do. Some seats
claim two motions, but really,
they just turn their seat to the
side. When we say unique, mean
we it. 5 different motions. 5
ways to soothe and entertain
your little one. And say goodbye
to pastel bears or monkeys
hanging over your child's head.
The mamaRoo is complete with
plush toy balls decorated in the
style of Van Gogh, Monet, and
Seurat. Black and white on one
side for infants. Color on the
other side for older babies.
They easily pop in and out of
the mobile so babies can chew..
err... study them. Groovy!  |

Underneath is a large, hidden storage area keeping supplies within reach yet neatly put away. Two playful benches will store underneath the table.

At our August 2009 event featuring Dr. Alan Greene, we learned that if we could choose only one organic item for our babies, it should be an organic mattress and sheets as babies spend most of their time in a crib.
Natural Mat is handcrafted in England and everything from the packaging to the product is 100% organic. These
hand crafted mattresses combine the finest natural and organic raw materials such as lambswool, natural rubber latex foam, coir, mohair and cotton, offering parents peace of mind that they are doing what’s best for their baby and the environment. Natural Mat’s mattresses are hypo-allergenic, dust mite resistant and naturally fire retardant. Each mattress has naturally sprung cores which provide for superb comfort and a longer lasting level of support than
any other synthetic foam or coil
springs.

 Making beds safe for little ones to sleep in is a challenge when traveling. Experts warn against pushing a bed up against a wall or using pillows to keep your child safe from rolling off the bed. The inflatable
Bed Bolster by
The Shrunks solves this problem. Inflates (to 48" long, 7" high and 4" wide) and slips conveniently under the fitted sheet of a standard size twin, queen or king size bed. The design creates the required barrier to prevent "roll-offs" but still allows room for parent or guardian to sit or lay next to the child for story time. When finished, simply deflate and fold up for compact storage.
 Cleans with mild soap and water and is free of phthalates, lead and BPA. Includes manual pump and repair kit. |

 From the Hollywood must-have
Belly Bandit®,
Mother Tucker™ is the ultimate compression tank that smoothes and shapes your middle. Mother Tucker™ uses a soft tubular knit, designed with three zones of varying compression. The center section - with the most compression - flattens your tummy, promoting a slimmer silhouette. The 3" anti-roll bottom applies muffinology™ technology to help smooth your "muffin top", while the upper section provides the perfect amount of support; helping to eliminate that squeezed feeling. With no vertical seams, it easily stretches to conform to your curves but won't lose its shape or crease, is undetectable under clothing and can even be worn alone. “Don’t nip it or suck it, simply mother tuck-it!” |
