Stroller

From snow to sleet to temperatures and winds so ice cold you feel like you can’t breathe, Mother Nature doesn’t really welcome you with warm, open arms this time of year (unless of course you live in Florida, Arizona or Southern California). Taking your baby outside for a walk in the winter? Your answer is probably, “No thanks!” And I get it. Staying inside your cozy home sipping a cup of hot chocolate while your baby plays with his toys sounds way more appealing than getting everyone all bundled up to go on a 10 minute walk in 40 degree temperatures. But you can’t stay inside all winter long – you’ll go stir crazy!  According to one pediatrician, and I’m sure many others agree with her, “Unless it’s dangerously cold, being outdoors helps infants acclimate

Parenthood brings with it a whole slew of questions to answer and lessons to learn. How do I know what my baby is trying to tell me when she’s crying? When do I transition her from a bassinet next to my bed to a crib in her own room? When do I start feeding her solids?    Another major topic for new parents revolves around their baby’s sleep schedule: Can my baby nap in the stroller? We’ve all been there.

This poses the question as to whether it’s safe for your baby to continue napping in their stroller or not?   The Short Answer? Yes, it’s Safe.     In

The everyday routine of a parent is busy and at times chaotic to say the least. And while children are wonderful, they can also make everyday errands into an epic event. Need to run to the store just for milk and toothpaste? Alone, you can be there and back home in 10 minutes. But with a kid, you never know how long it’ll take. You have to pack a diaper bag, put your child and his stuff in the car, drive to the store, take him and his stuff out of the car—there’s 25 minutes right there (not including any surprise setbacks) and you haven’t even made it into the store. It can make any sane parent feel like going crazy. But everyday life requires leaving your house some days. You have places to go and people to see; not to mention your sanity to keep. Want to know what can help you keep your sanity? A compact and lightweight stroller. It can’t pack a diaper bag or put your child into his car seat, but it does add some convenience to your everyday routine.

Strollers — every parent needs one. Convenience — every parent wants it. And with these 12 stroller hacks, you can make using your stroller more convenient and functional, as well as provide a safer and more comfortable ride for your little one. 1. Stickers Make Strollers Easy to Understand Use colored stickers to label the buttons and levers of the stroller with instructions, i.e. pull and push, so your partner, grandparent or whoever is walking your child can remember how to use your stroller.   2. Corral Containers in Hanging Shoe Organizers Use one or two sections of a hanging shoe organizer to keep bottles or sippy cups that won’t fit in cup holders (or if you don’t have them) from spilling. Put adhesive velcro on the back and stick it to the inside part of your undercarriage

Having a baby is hard. Raising that little baby is even harder. But there are all kinds of parenting hacks out there to help make parenting a little easier, like putting vapor rub on a child’s feet and socks over them to relieve nighttime coughing, or using a shower caddy to corral road trip essentials. Here’s another one you may not know about: a reversible stroller. How do reversible strollers make parenting easier? Reversible strollers were designed to make life simpler for active, on-the-go parents or parents who just want life to be a little less complicated when they need (or want) to leave the house. Picture yourself in these two scenarios and ask yourself, “Would I rather have a

Buying a baby stroller is like buying a car; It’s a big investment of money and time, and can sometimes feel like more of a hassle than it’s worth.

We can’t help you with that last one, but we have put together a handy, comprehensive stroller-buying guide for first-time parents, so you know how to pick a stroller that will keep your little one comfy, happy, and safe.
