Baby Strollers

Written by admin on October 13, 2009 – 4:13 am -

Baby Must Haves: Strollers First, consider where you live and the local terrain. A stroller that's going to be used on city streets will need different features than one that'll primarily see action in a suburban mall or on well-maintained sidewalks; and a stroller that will be used in a rural area will require yet another set of criteria if it's going to hold up over time. Because where you'll be using your stroller really drives what you need, our book gives an in-depth features list based on locale. Here, a few points to consider if you're a city dweller: In urban areas, you'll need to scale curbs, maneuver over sidewalk cracks and potholes, and fit between narrow store aisles, juggle your stroller and baby in and out of public transportation,... more

Tips for shopping online for baby gear

Written by admin on September 20, 2009 – 3:18 pm -

Online auctions are hot! One mom tells you some tips on how you can find baby bargains online. The basics of online auctions If you're looking to get your baby necessities at a discount, and you don't have time to browse endless yard sales, online auctions may just be the answer for you! eBay is the largest online auction site, currently controlling 85% of the market. How does it work? Individuals -- people just like you and me -- place items up for bid online. They provide a description, a photo, a starting bid, and an end time/date for the auction of that item to close. Sellers may also set a "reserve price" on their auctions -- the lowest price at which a seller is willing to sell an item. This price is not disclosed to bidders and is at... more

Before You Buy Baby Strollers

Written by admin on September 7, 2009 – 3:24 pm -

By Heather Corley Strollers can be a parent's best friend, but choosing the wrong baby stroller could spell trouble and inconvenience. How can parents choose the right baby stroller from the many available in stores and via the Internet? Strollers are available to match just about any lifestyle, so think about how you want to use the stroller first and then look at strollers that best fit your life and your baby. Safety Features Are Important For Strollers As always, baby's safety is the biggest concern. Check strollers for stability before buying, and don't forget to see if the stroller will remain upright with a diaper bag hanging over the handles! Also check the stroller harness.

Trends in Baby Gear

Written by admin on September 7, 2009 – 3:04 pm -

By Beverly Frank The following is a look at five trends in baby gear. The trends change every year, but the one thing that is not changing is that babies need a lot of stuff. Chairs: It used to be that babies needed a bouncer chair, a high chair, and that was about it. Today there is the Bumbo, which is a chair designed for kids ages 3-6 months. It is formed to fit a baby's contours and be extremely supportive of them. There are more elaborate bouncy chairs, and high chairs that grow with your child. However, in addition to that one of the big trends is sling chairs. Instead of a sling that you wear that your baby sits in, it is a sling that goes around a chair, and supports your baby so that they can sit no matter where you are as long as there... more
