Hello June! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2012? The days are getting longer and the sunshine is out, perfect timing for you to get out and about with your little one. We wouldn't let you hit the pavement without the right gear though, so we're here to give you a few basics on yet another professional-grade stroller for all of your summer cruising. 

The UPPABaby Cruz (aptly named, don't you think?) was made to take you from one adventure to the next in style, comfort and safety. It's compact design makes it ideal for travel, and its many features make it excellent for an on-the-go lifestyle. It is suitable for children up to 50 pounds, and features sleek styling and colorful design. Not to mention it's super easy folding mechanism...you can watch it in action below!

Let the "cruz" begin!

This is such a fun time of year for retailers everywhere because we get to see and share all of the new products that companies have introduced for the next year.

After we returned from the ABC Kids Expo in late September, we were thrilled with what we saw, and thrilled to be able to pass that on to you all.

One company that did not disappoint is Aden and Anais.  Their new swaddle designs are our favorites by far. They feature new modern colors paired with vintage inspired designs. It's truly the best of both worlds and we're so excited they added to their swaddle print collection!

"Liam the Brave"

"Super Star Scout"

Are you new to swaddling? If so, or if you just want a refresher, here's a short how-to clip that we put together. The same swaddling instructions come in print form on each Aden and Anais product.

Unless you've been living under a rock, it comes as no surprise that baby wearing is most popular today. It keeps baby close and comfortable while giving momma the chance to clean, cook, read a book or just hang out. And don't forget the constant bonding!


If you're in the market for a sling or wrap carrier, look no further than Baby K'tan. What is Baby K'tan, you ask? It's a soft cloth cotton carrier that can be worn all the same ways as a cotton wrap...but you don't have the hassle of wrapping, tying and maneuvering yards of fabric.

Baby K'tan features two cotton loops that are connected with a back support band (a third cotton loop). This ergonomic design allows the Baby K'tan to worn in multiple positions, without complicated wrapping.  It takes the benefits of a sling wrap and a structured carrier and combines it into one.


Baby K'tan is conveniently sized according to your shirt size- from extra small to extra large. And one of the best parts- it's machine washable!

Slip away for a couple minutes and watch our tutorial video. You can see for yourself just how easy it is to use (and we don't even have kids!).
