Wow, the first really cool baby bouncer I’ve seen in years: Baby Bjorn’s Baby Sitter Balance. Many bouncers have incorporated some of these features, but this is the only one that comes in mind that does it all, and so easily.

The safety strap restrains the baby without having to keep them from sliding out of the bouncer as the seat has a nice deep pocket. The reversible fabric is clever. Have an accident? Just reverse the cover until you an get the cover washed. When Baby Bjorn claims it reclines, it really does, and easily. The fold is as compact as any bouncer in recent memory. With the 29 pound maximum weight and its conversion to a toddler seat, you are assured that you will not have to put it away after a year or less. They even had an adult version at this year’s ABC Expo which I thouroughly enjoyed. I even had a photo taken of me in it. Unfortunately, I’ve decided to keep the photo private until which time it will have no blackmail value.

kokopax Classic Carrier

It is so nice to be able to support local companies with great products. Sarah definitely took a back pack that I used with my twins 26 years ago, made it better, more comfortable and the prints are great! Kokopax will be a welcome addition to our selection of baby products that make life easier on mom, dad and baby.

From Sarah Spoor, founder of Kokopax:
“We are having such a good time at the ABC Show introducing the new kokopax classic carrier. After using one of the original Gerry carriers, I was inspired to create a carrier that was as comfortable and as basic as the old carriers, but this time more fashionable. Our 100% cotton canvas is custom designed and printed in Los Angeles. Read the rest of this entry »

How to Choose a Stroller

With so many excellent choices of strollers, how does one choose the right one? Consider the following points that can help you narrow it down to the right stroller for your needs.

  1. If you use the car a lot, you might want to start with a car seat frame. This can carry your baby in the infant car seat straight out of the car. Car seat frames are lightweight, fold compactly, and are pretty inexpensive. You can use these until your baby grows out of the infant car seat.
